The woman you refer to in your post is certainly not grumpy. She has certain standards and expects those standards to be maintained. She is also very humorous person given the right company.  
Her pack of irritable dogs are not irritable because of a lack of training its down to the breed. As a matter of fact a large proportion of her pack are some of the highest trained dogs in the country. As for their being allowed out with out leads. When you have 5000 acres (Windsor Great Park) or 65000 acres Balmoral Estate at your disposal simply by stepping out the front door. Why would you need to put a dog on a lead?
Her yearly work load would put many women a 1/3rd of her age to shame. Whilst her ill tempered old man is an excellent shot, raconteur, and a straight forward speaker. Some thing that most of our leading politicians would do well to try and emulate.  
Many parents children suffer broken marriages these days, few if any suffered the same levels of unnecessary press intrusion, unfounded speculation and public scrutiny as hers.  
As for the two grandsons. Its a very fortunate man who can say he truly knows his father. If despite their own clearly stated wishes, politicians refuse to allow them to be where they want, do what they want, don't blame them if they occasionally turn up in some nightclub. They are after all only doing what every other lad in their 20's is doing. Only the rest of them don't have a herd of paparazzi fighting to get a picture every time they step out the door.
I'm no royalist, but I'd rather have this lot around, than a bunch of two faced , self serving, cynical, back stabbing politicians any day of the week.

Not me, I'm a Royalist

Queen & Co are Ok by me, the yanks would pay a fortune for the history assciated with them.
 
Carla Bruni I would not climb over to get to one of you lot, she's totty in my book !!
