And as for who was duller, think much of that comes from the upper class
twit phenomenon. After all during that period one usually did not find
many bright bulbs at the higher echelons of society. Horses, hounds,
hunting, breeding certain animals, that was important. Oh and for the
men, anything military.

My point was that QM's dullness may have been as much due to
herself as to her husband's tight lead.

True, true, but one must remember it was the exception rather than the
norm for many royal/upper class girls to be educated beyond what was
considered their future spheres of kueche, kirch, und kinder. Can you
imagine what George V would have done/said if his consort gave her views
on say the military build up in Germany?


According to The Duke of Windsor, GV sought QM's views on whether to
give the Romanovs asylum, she gave her views, and they were listened to.
