“The greatest pearl in the kingdom?”

Lately people have criticised Queen Mary and in many instances they said things without being completely certain if what they said really was the truth. As we all know she has taken over the throne after her father passed away. Since then bad things started to happen. Many people have lost their lives because of her. They are burnt all around the kingdom with her full approval. People are gathered around the kingdom, shouting “Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary!” She got that name because of the burning. Maybe she needs a modification? We have talked with people on the streets and they said they would respect her more if she was a bit softer. This is not the only thing people complain about. People describe her as old. It is not here fault that she is old. It’s life itself. People may react when she is marrying a man who is much younger than she is, but if they are in love they have the rights to be together. Would it be a problem if the man was the oldest? People can react by saying that she is “badly dressed” because they are angry about some of the things that she is doing. If you really hate a human being it is easy to find falsities about that person. When we see the queen outside we usually see that she uses dark clothes and rarely clothes with colours. We have talked with some of the servants and asked them why she uses only black and dark clothes. They told us that she is depressed and lonely because her husband is joining the war. Maybe he never comes back? Many people react and talk about it when they see the standard of her teeth. She has almost no one and the few that are left are brown and miscoloured. The reason why her teeth are in such bad shape is that she eats lots of sugar. The sugar consumes her teeth. As we know sugar and sweets are expensive. She has a lot of money and can afford to eat what she wants. When you are queen of England you are the head of a big nation. That means that you have to depend on good advisers. We don’t think that our queen has the best advisers. The best she could do is to get her self the best advisers in questions like economics, in foreign politics, agriculture, health, education, and so on. Most of all she needs to learn to treat people with respect and to treat them well. Maybe some vice advisers could teach her this.
 * Is our own Queen Mary really “the greatest pearl in the kingdom?” Would she not better be called “Bloody Mary?” People are currently burnt alive with Mary's full approval. Another point is that she is described as old, badly dressed and almost toothless, and does this image fit to a person called a “pearl in the kingdom”?  **
 * Old **
 * Badly dressed **
 * Toothless **
 * Bad advisers **
