Queen Elizabeth voted royal mum of the year

OHMYGOSSIP — Queen Elizabeth has been voted royal mum of the year, receiving equal votes to the Duchess of Cambridge, in a survey conducted by Disney.

The 87-year-old monarch has four children – Prince Charles, 65, Princess Anne, 63, Prince Andrew, 54, and Prince Edward, 50 – with her husband the Duke of Edinburgh, and although other members of the Royal family have much younger children, she received equal votes to the Duchess of Cambridge in a poll held by Disney.

As part of the company’s search for Celebrity Mum of the Year 2014, they have released figures which show that 50 per cent of voters thought that the queen and her daughter in law Duchess Catherine – who gave birth to the queen’s great-grandson Prince George last year – were the best royal mothers ahead of Zara Phillips and her mother Princess Anne.

The results come as the queen’s eldest son and the heir to the throne – Prince Charles – admits he has been taking lessons in “grandfatherhood” so that he can take better care of his grandson .

Speaking at the Prince’s Trust and Samsung Celebrate Success Awards, after his speech was interrupted by a crying baby, he said: “I’ve been taking lessons in grandfatherhood.

“I’m getting used to this now and I know when something needs a bottle – or maybe it’s something else.”
