I'm watching "The Crown," which is OK but so far not super gripping. Probably gets better when it gets to the Diana years, although it's making me like Queen Elizabeth a little better. On last night's episode, the Queen Mother advised Elizabeth that their job as royals is to take no sides in a political conflict -- to do nothing. "Doing nothing is the hardest thing," she said. So what exactly are royals for, anyway? Hopefully the series will shed some light on that.
