Queen Elizabeth II is devastated after learning that her cousin and best friend, Lady Mary Colman, to whom she was deeply attached, has died. A heavy setback that joins a particularly bad season at Buckingham
These Christmas have been especially atypical for Queen isabel II And it is that she has also suffered the restrictions of the British Government when it comes to celebrating the usual holidays with her loved ones. In addition, the fact that his grandson, the prince harry, is more distant from the family since he took the drastic and criticized decision to put land in between, go to live in Los Angeles with Meghan Markle and his son Archie and don’t look back. But if this weren’t enough drama for Queen Elizabeth II, who is also in full lockdown imposed by the Prime Minister across the UK, she now has to face the hard loss of one of his loved ones: his cousin, as well as a close friend, Lady Mary Colman.
It was common to see Lady Mary Colman accompanying Queen Elizabeth II in her private activities, because they treasured a precious friendship that went much more than their family kinship as cousins. He was seen with the Windsors at their Scottish residence at Balmoral, as well as at the royal family’s country house at Sandringham, where they sheltered their encounters from other people’s glances. Some appointments that can no longer be held, after the daughter of Captain Michael Bowes-Lyon, brother of the Queen Mother, dies at 88 last January 2 at the house where she lived with her husband, Sir Timothy Colman, in Norfolk.
Beyond their family bond as cousins, Queen Elizabeth II of England and Lady Mary Colman were friends. That is why both have participated in the great personal and family events that both parties have celebrated. It was thus in 1951, when the British sovereign married the duke of edinburgh in the Church of St. Bartholomew the Great in London. The monarch reciprocated this gesture, always being present at the birth of the five children that Lady Mary Colman and her husband had and whose growth has always been closely followed by the queen. A commitment to the happiness of the other that has been repeated with religiosity with the arrival of their respective grandchildren and great-grandchildren and is that the longevity of these two women has made them worthy of a full life full of emotions that they knew how to enjoy each other’s company and that now increases the pain of loss.
Despite its proximity to the British royal family, Lady Mary Colman kept her rings from working. At least not by ensuring the development of the most disadvantaged, sponsoring charitable events or with the foundation of the Norfolk Millennium Trsut for Carers. Also in favor of animals, one of his great passions along with music and the piano, which he played by ear with skill and elegance. He also started a flower business in collaboration with some friends, which filled him more with illusion and personal satisfaction than with fortune.. And the thing is that what the cousin of Queen Elizabeth II was pursuing was not so much to amass millions in her checking account, but more to take advantage of her privileged situation to put the media focus on those who most need help, whether they are people without resources, poor workers paid, animal abuse and neglect or children with autism.
