LONDON — Britain’s Royal Family was thrust into a national debate about mental illness today after it was revealed that not just two but five of Queen Elizabeth’s cousins were hidden away in a mental hospital on the same day 46 years ago.
Newspapers delved at length into previous cases of royal madness and one mental-care expert urged the queen to visit her relatives--four are alive--to bring the issue of mental health into the open.
Britain’s latest royal “scandal” began with a banner headline in the tabloid Sun Monday that read “Queen’s Cousin Locked in Madhouse.” An accompanying photograph showed a wrinkled and bedraggled old woman staring out blankly.
Other tabloids were quick to follow up today, revealing that two of Queen Elizabeth’s first cousins and three second cousins were all brought to a Victorian-era mental hospital in the heart of the Surrey countryside south of London on the same day in 1941.
The five all belonged to the Bowes-Lyon family of Queen Mother Elizabeth, who at 87 is frequently referred to as the “nation’s favorite grandmother.”
The two first cousins were listed as dead in the 1963 edition of “Burke’s Peerage,” a guide to the British aristocracy, even though one is alive and the second died only last year. The three second cousins are also alive.
Genealogists said all five may have shared a genetic flaw passed by the 21st Baron Clinton, and not the Royal Family.
