  :::There is no doubt Robert the Bruce did all of Scotland a favour when winning Scotland our independence. Would he have done so if there was nothing in it for him? Debatable to say the least. Would Elizabeth have given up her crown if she thought in doing so it would have benefited England? We know the answer to that. Being fiercly proud of your country means doing things for that country which doesn't always benefit yourself. Not something Royalty tend to do. Oh, Jeanne, did I tell you that I'm not a fan of Royalty? )
