Died on this day in 2002 aged 101 Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (my toy,wikipedia). The mother of our current Queen. In "intersects with my life" I was dragged to London to attend the lying in state; which was a lot of queuing for little gain (can you tell I'm not a Monarchist?). Unusually for wives of Princes Elizabeth was not a foreign princess but the daughter of an English peer (not uniquely though).

Born on this day in 1963 to John Darlrymple and Davina Bowes-Lyon, David Darlrymple (my toy,wikipedia) . The Queen Mother's brother's grandson.

ITYM "Dalrymple"

Yes, yes I do. This is extra embarrassing tyop because it's my Grandmother's maiden name... (afaik, no relation)

Should the Queen Mother be annotated thus in your toy?

I think my notion is that people only get to have titles they hold in their own right and not through marriage... (about which I may not have been 100% consistent).
