Institutional admission seemed to be the thing to do if you had money and were in front of the public.  The Kennedy’s had a child named Rosemary who did not live up to the family’s standards.  The admitted her to an institution and had a lobotomy performed on her.  Such a lack of love, affection and respect.  I cannot imagine doing such a horrible thing to my child.😊

I really don’t care how things were done way-back-when, it was wrong!!!! Children should be loved at all times!!

I used to work in an institution in NZ North Island, Just outside PAPAKURA in South of Auckland ,in a Country Farming area. Back then it was build in the middle of nowhere. There were what called Villas back in the 70s . ALL kinds of Mentally Ill, just Patients locked away from all over NZ , was the biggest INSTITUTION I EVER COME ACROSS IN MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE, THEY WERE LOCKED AWAY, BUT WELL LOOKED AFTER INDEED, I COULD NEVER BE A NURSE DEALING WITH THIS KIND OF WORK. I WORKED IN A CATERING DEPARTMENT. THEY WERE TREATED WITH LOVE AND KINDNESS, HONESTLY TO GOD. I HAD A GREAT TIME THERE AS I HAD ACCOMMODATION IN THE NURSES HOME. WE HAD MEALS PREPARED, SUPPER  & ALL. IT WAS A GREAT PLACE. I SHALL NEVER FORGET IT.

Breaks my heart. I became disabled as a teen…suddenly it was assumed I was stupid and useless.  Happily my parents pushed me to ignore the harsh and rude comments of others.  I surprised everyone by becoming a straight A student, and went to grad school, trained at a famous museum….got married had kids, had a good job.   Then I tried to get my doctorate.  I had moved to another state, but had my grades and work which was considered  excellent.  But..The school I applied to, had not heard of the ADA.  They told me that my disability would disturb other students, because I used a computer to speak.  Good grief,I could certainly write.  I had done advanced research and knew things other students didn’t know.  Didn’t matter..if you’re disabled, very few people see you as human or useful.   Yet Einstein couldn’t read till he was  12, and  Stephen Hawking was welcomed everywhere. Maybe it’s because I was a disabled female?   So what, li’ll write as a male scientist, and surprise everyone Lol!

I'm in South Africa, on a Sunday afternoon. It's 17h12

Had any of the royals gone to visit them, the press would have been all over it. I'm certain, the Monarchy didn't want to appear sickly and/or insane. The press would have been all over where the girls were being cared for. There is an upside to protecting the image of the Monarchy. It would have been difficult to protect the girls' peace. Given the description of the girls' mental stability, they wouldn't have understood their home being descended upon by the paparazzi. The girls were protected and cared for in a much better way than royals of the past. Case in point would be the skeletons of two children accidentally found, yet no one know what happened to them as the last mention had beepn the two child princes taken to the tower. It isn't lost on me, Queen Charlotte didn't have daughters marry until after past childbearing age. Especially considering the mental health condition of King George III. It was concealed by Queen Charlotte and her son. Her daughters may have excited such behavior later in life, or any children born into other royal Monarchies. Given the practice and idea of closely related members of the royal families marrying to keep their bloodline pure being their downfall. The mothers constantly trying to birth healthy heirs compounded to the extent, the toll on their bodies remaining constantly pregnant in that endeavor died young.
Then, there's Queen Victoria who's daughters married into other Monarchies on opposing political sides and carrying hemophilia that manifested in the male heirs. The daughters passed it on and royal sons suffered the physical aspects of the disease.

It's 9:00 p.m. in Gastonia North Carolina

Narissa and Katherine Bowes-Lyon were not royal. They were nobles.

I am listening from South Africa. It is September 2026 I love history. They were disabled because they married cousins to keep the so called blood line "pure". All this for titles!

California USA I started listening about 530 this morning. I find it very interesting.. I need a little more sleep so I'm gonna listen to your podcast until I fall asleep.

Disgraceful and so sad they could of been taken in to be looked after properly in Buckingham palace plenty of room after all.tje royals have no respect for disabled children or adults they obviously couldn't cope! Remove the royal family there not fit to be royals!
