Isabel II or Nicole Kidman, mothers who have repudiated a child publicly
Before it is the obligation that devotion.By complying with the saying, Queen Elizabeth of England has had to break her heart into two.In a piece, mother's love.In the other, his duty as a monarch, withdrawing to his son Andrés the treatment of his real highness.It is not the only royal that has been seen in such a position, nor the only woman.
Isabel II is the Maystatic Mother of 'Hundred Years of Solitude', the matriarch that sustains life in Buckingham Palace, determining figure in the United Kingdom and, until now, the selfless woman who aware that her son continues, at almost 62 years, clinging to the chest, trying to retain his trust and looking for forgiveness to his excesses.This time the excesses are too nauseabundos to ask for clemency.
The queen called the son on January 13.The causes that are charged, pedophilia and sexual abuse, mean a stab to the heart of the institution and have filled the temper of this woman.In a 90 -minute private meeting he told him that he would withdraw all his military titles and real functions and that from now on he will have to defend himself as a private citizen.Shortly after he publicly notified his decision.Those who follow her ensure that a sign of sadness or consternation has not been seen in it, but a past serenity.
Isabel II and the favorite son who has not been a good heir
Prince Andrés has not fulfilled, from far, the standards of "honorability, honesty and honor" demanded by military titles and the queen's decision has been blunt, despite being her favorite son.The journalist Katie Nicholl, an expert at Casa Real, has declared that "it must have been incredibly painful, but had no other option".
Mother and son have a special affinity.She taught him the alphabet and the hours.He took as a miracle that the prince returned safe and except for the Falklands War, in 1982.According to the biographer Andrew Morton, since then he has a photo of the prince in his bag.Shortly after knowing their involvement in the Epstein case, both were seen riding around Windsor Castle.It was an unequivocal gesture of support, despite the arrogance that the prince has shown since the scandal broke out.
The role of the 'replacement heirs'
In general, replacement heirs carry their uncertain role of second.It is an evil that the husband of Queen Margarita II suffered, Prince Enrique, and his son, Prince Joaquín of Denmark, the protagonist of endless displaces to the mother seems inherited.When moving away from the palatial life, the Danish queen, little friend of conventions, has resisted well the dramas of the child, her problems with alcohol, her dissolute life, the comings and goals to the palace, the jealousy towards the brother and the controversial statements to the press.
When a child challenges the codes of conduct, the mother and son bond becomes delicate.For María de Teck, consort of Jorge V, the abdication of her son Eduardo VIII had to be difficult after falling in love with the American socialite Wallis Simpson.
María moved her support to her second child, Alberto.She was an austere, but affectionate mother.Eduardo in his memoirs associated "his soft voice, his cultivated mind and the cozy room" to happiness.However, in private letters his wife talked about the disbelief that a mother could have been so hard and cruel to her eldest son, so demanding until the end, without ever giving up an iota."I'm afraid that the fluid ran through his veins was always as cold, as he is now in his death," he wrote.
The cases thatcher and Kidman
Different was Margaret Thatcher's attitude with Mark, an excessively consensual son who continuously ashamed and used maternal power to grease his business and make fortune.With him, the great Steel Lady melted.The only time he was seen crying in public was on the occasion of his disappearance in the Sahara desert in January 1982, which was voluntary.He saw the chrism break over and over again and always stood up again.
In 'The Crown', the British prime minister confesses Queen Elizabel that Mark is "a very special child, the son that any mother would dream of having".She washed her shirts by hand, "I ironed them and folded them carefully in plastic bags".When Mark asked Margaret's press secretary, Sir Bernard Ingham, how he could help his mother win the 1987 general elections, the answer was immediate: "Leave the country".
Actress Nicole Kidman hasn't had it easy with her adoptive children, Isabella and Connor, after they took sides for her father, Tom Cruise, and hugged scientology.It was something that completely separated them from her."They made their decision to be stalls and, as a mother, it is my job to love them," he said.
"It doesn't matter what your children do, they have love and have to know what is affection available.I am open, "Kidman also said.Each story is shocking and complex.In all it is clear that we do not always love how they loved us.
