Queen upset over family documentary

LONDON, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- Britain's Queen Elizabeth II was upset over "The Queen's Hidden Cousins," a TV program about her mentally handicapped relatives, a royal family member said.

The queen's cousin Lady Elizabeth Anson told The Daily Telegraph she doesn't think the monarch watched the documentary but said she still thinks the queen was upset because it suggested the royal family neglected Katherine and Nerissa Bowes-Lyon, the nieces of Queen Elizabeth, the queen mother.

"I thought it was such an unfair thing to do to the queen, and I know she was very hurt about it," Anson told the Telegraph. "I watched it and I was horrified. I was dreading it as soon as I found out they were making the program."

Anson blasted the program's producers for "capitalizing on the royal connection and ignoring the facts, as the sisters have always been looked after by that family."
