Should the Queen and other royals visit Katherine Bowes-Lyon?

The Queen of england has a cousin, from her own mothers side, she never visits her. She is in care for people with Learning Problems. The woman Katherine Bowes-Lyon knows the queen, and the royal family she salutes to to the Queen, surely the Royals should visit her and treat her like a person, not as a reject.

    Who's to say that they don't, but that its just kept secret. Katherine Bowes-Lyon must be a close blood relative of the queen, seeing as The Queen Mother was also a Bowes-Lyon. Maybe the royals do go and see her, and maybe not, but the same can be said of normal people, they often reject relatives who are in places they wish others to know nothing about - that is human nature. I recently well the last couple of years, started my own family ancestry, and discovered that a Great Aunt had been put in a mental asylum and totally ignored for 24 years till she died, her crime, she has post natal blues. I was incensed, but of course there is no family left for me to have a go at , but believe me as a believer in God and a life here after, I am sure going to give the main people who discarded that woman away a mouthful of my own.

    Regarding the queen though, it just has to be accepted that if she does not its wrong, but there are wrongs in every family in the world.

    Oh here we go - Katherine Bowes-Lyon has been publically reported to have been alive since her sister died in the 80's. Has someone just cottoned on because of the internet or a programme recently? The media suck people in - it's a joke!

    I don't know whether the Queen and other royals should visit Katherine Bowes-Lyon - I mean, what if they just don't want to? Why should the Queen visit someone she barely knows? I never see my cousins - I don't want to see them! It doesn't mean I hate them, or want to believe their dead - I just don't want to see them. I don't know them that well, to want to go and visit them. Why do people get sucked in by the media so much?!

    and that's all there is to appreciate. they did no longer have titles. As daughters of The Honourable John Herbert "Jock" Bowes-Lyon, they weren't afforded any. He grew to become into in basic terms the 2nd son of an Earl. They have been common previous commoners. i do no longer understand why persons are announcing they have been daughters of an Earl. They weren't. They have been granddaughters, by using between the greater youthful sons. So, no call.

    Well, I'm sure that she is busy being a queen and all. Maybe she does visit. Maybe not. I do not know or see many of my relatives. I don't like to pass judgement

    It is highly unlikely that Her Majesty does not visit her.
