| Prince Harry and Queen Elizabeth |
In a break with royal protocol that the Queen herself might not approve of, they're actually sharing their insights about their grandmother with the press.
According to Prince Harry the Queen, who is known for her unflappable public image, actually leans quite heavily on her husband Prince Philip for moral support.

'Regardless of whether my grandfather seems to be doing his own thing (a reference to Prince Phillip's tendency to roam about) sort of wandering off like a fish down the river, the fact that he's there – personally, I don't think that she could do it without him,' Prince Harry told the the BBC's Andrew Marr for an upcoming documentary on the Queen.
Harry, 27, claims that his grandmother would find the task of endlessly shaking hands during her frequent public engagements unbearable without Phillip her side.
At 85 the Queen, who celebrates 60 years on the throne next Monday, may now be too old for her schedule Harry worries. 'Yet she's carrying on and doing the visits,' he said.
In his public affairs William is said to take his lead from the Queen. In fact both he and his wife Kate ask for her guidance about how to lead a public royal life.
'I think she doesn't care for celebrity and she really minds about having privacy in general,' William told the BBC.
William also praises how adept she is at navigating 'a very tricky line' between 'private and public and duty.'
'I think she's carved her own way completely. She's not had a blueprint,' says William. 'I think it's very important to be able to retreat inside and be able to collect one's thoughts and collect your ideas, and then to move forward.'

每个正常的女人都会稍微依赖丈夫的！
老一辈的长辈不论如何，尤其身为王室的长子，威廉王储应该学习做得更好！！他们年纪大了，而就快三十岁的威廉王储应该有更好的主见了！！

其实女皇的形象比两个王子好！！！即使女皇没有很厉害的政治思维或领袖风范，但是她还是比他们两个受尊重！！其实他们应该体谅女性本来的个性！！她至少不是个强悍的老妇女，那证明她很正常！！你们还欺负她？？？王储还过分呀！！
