I think if anything it just speaks to the profound power of loss/death. Or sheer human ridiculousness. When I was looking up how to make her usual pre-lunch cocktail, I came across an article from a year back about her physician advising her to give up her daily alcohol consumption, which she didn't really seem to care about but a source close to her believe "it seems a trifle unfair that at this stage in her life she's having to give up one of very few pleasures."
Seriously? She could not have been born into a more privileged position. She could never have wanted for any material thing, or anything that influence could possibly acquire. She was almost a hundred years old. A century. And you're calling this...unfair?
If this is how the aristocracy thinks, no wonder homelessness, poverty, and war plague the world.
