Exactly. Despite all of their issues, Francis at least respected his mother and tried to understand where she was coming from. Charles and Henri...not so much. :no:

:love: :love: :love:

It’s a good job for someone who’s always right, to be sure. But as it turns out, many people quite despise me. I would never want to ascend to power if it meant losing you. For what is France without my Francis?

Wow. Had to search far to find this thread.

^ That makes me sad this thread was so far back. :( LOVE the edit, though. :love: One of my favorite mother/son moments - Catherine trying to fix Francis' hair. So sweet, funny and relatable. :love: :sigh: Poor Francis is so annoyed and horrified. :lol:

Catherine being the regular mom always gets me.

Yes, I love that despite the fact that they were royalty and ruling a country, Catherine was just a regular mom - above all. :love:

We are gonna need a new thread soon. Any ideas for quotes?

Oh, you're right! Hmmm..how about "I'm sorry I wasn't the mother that you wanted me to be. I did my best. ~ I know. In your own way." Or some version of that? Any other ideas?

I like that one

That works for me.

:yay: New thread time for one of my favorite relationships on the show. :love:

:bump: Should I go ahead and post the new thread?

I guess so

Awesome. Here it is. :D
