The Queen Mother, who was known to be popular with the public during her entire lifetime, had a very serious habit that has been described as “Marie-Antoinette-ish.” In an op-ed for The Telegraph, Sophia Money-Coutts has revealed that the late Queen Mother was “unable to resist” this luxurious dish, and it landed her in the hospital several times.
While writing about the late Queen Elizabeth II, Money-Coutts wrote that a family member “sat next to one of [the Queen Mother’s] physicians some years ago and, somehow, they got on to the subject of the Queen Mother’s various hospitalisations for swallowing fishbones.” The Queen Mother had a series of quietly-handled hospital visits during her life, but the Royal Family and the palace teams wanted to keep the true story on the down-low.
