The children were his own—the product of his long-term affair with the lush, glamorous, and temperamental Athénaïs, Madame de Montespan. But the woman in the house was Françoise d'Aubigné, the future Madame de Maintenon, an empathetic, deeply practical widow of disreputable parentage who had become governess to this secret clutch of royal “bastards” in 1669. Family life has remained an essential support to The Queen. The family usually spends Christmas together at Sandringham in Norfolk, attending church on Christmas Day. In 1862, Anna Leonowens, a widowed governess from India of Welsh and Eurasian heritage, arrived in the Kingdom of Siam (now Thailand) to teach the wives, concubines, and children of King Mongkut. She would leave in 1867, and spin her years there into two books: The English Governess at the Siamese Court, published in 1870, and 1873’s The Romance of the Harem. These memoirs would be the basis of both Rodgers and Hammerstein’s musical The King and I and the novel Anna and the King of Siam, by Margaret Landon. He found a charming, tender mother figure, with one child on her lap, another at her shoulder, a third in a cradle, reading a book aloud. ‘How good it would be to be loved by a woman like that,’ he mused. Shrestha explains it is customary to exhibit songs, plays, khyals, etc at dabalis and toles of Bhaktapur, starting from Gai Jatra to Krishna Janmashtami.

In 2002, her Golden Jubilee year, Her Majesty spoke of her family's support, especially following the recent deaths of her mother Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother and her sister Princess Margaret: But being even a de facto royal family member in Naples was often deadly. Coups and assassinations were a way of life, and Philippa and her family were almost certainly involved in the murder of Joanna’s hated first husband, Andrew of Hungary (probably with Joanna’s consent). However, one can see profession-wise differences in this culture. Where a farmer’s family makes bamboo cows, other affluent families disguise their child(ren) as a cow in the parade.

The Queen's 90th birthday

The Queen spent her actual birthday meeting the crowds on a walkabout in Windsor before attending a private family dinner at the newly restored Kew Palace, followed by a spectacular fireworks display. Princess Elizabeth also learned French from a number of French and Belgian governesses. It is a skill which has stood The Queen in good stead, as she often has cause to use it when speaking to ambassadors and heads of state from French-speaking countries, and when visiting French-speaking areas of Canada. In 1930, Princess Elizabeth gained a sister, with the birth of Princess Margaret Rose. The family of four was very close. Crawfie died in 1988. The royal family reportedly did not send flowers.

While Gai Jatra must have begun earlier, Shrestha says Pratap Malla introduced humour to the festival in the medieval period as the queen was still not consoled by the message of the parade that death is a universal truth. We both have a special place in our hearts for our children. I want to express my admiration for The Prince of Wales and for all he has achieved for this country. Our children, and all my family, have given me such love and unstinting help over the years, and especially in recent months.' The Duke of Edinburgh as Consort

The scholars argue the festival is at least 600 years ago as there is no mention in Gopal Rajbansawali or any manuscript or inscription, prior to that. And here, cultural experts Shrestha and Om Dhaubhadel think that this shows Gai Jatra started even before the said time. I take this opportunity to mention the strength I draw from my own family. The Duke of Edinburgh has made an invaluable contribution to my life over these past fifty years, as he has to so many charities and organisations with which he has been involved.If their public interactions are any indication, the children of Prince William and Kate Middleton absolutely adore their nanny, Maria Borrallo.

According to Finding Freedom, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were loath to have a live-in nanny and fired their night nurse on her second evening of taking care of Archie. But over the centuries, royal nannies have saved their charges’ lives, died for their charges, won the heart of the king, and, in one case, even felt the wrath of Princess Diana.
