Her last years had been marred by ill health and she had suffered at least three strokes which left her semi-paralysed and with sight problems. Sadly she appeared to be a deeply unhappy person and her first romance with Peter Townsend was broken off becuse of "protocol." I wonder how things would have turned out if in fact she had married him. To quote - "the saddest words, I've ever seen; are those that say 'it might have been.'" At peace.
