But in Lilian's case, liberalization of attitudes in this regard has not generally softened views towards her in particular. There was definitely much more to this than simply disapproving of commoners marrying kings.Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18230268418171628594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666114716955489883.post-4740877606999766652012-06-11T19:17:35.078-04:002012-06-11T19:17:35.078-04:00Do you not think that coming so close the the King...Do you not think that coming so close the the King Edward/Wallace Simpson affair that the Belgens wanted not to relive the horror of a commoner married to a royal?
