The opposite question is here... Do you dislike a Windsor?

She isn't exactly a Windsor but is related to them... Camilla Parker Bowles,
I think that she is just an... opportunist?
Of course, that is just my own point of view.

I would have to say The Earl of Wessex, Prince Edward. He is rude, not very well mannered and self-centered. For being the youngest son, he acts as if he were heir apparent. A little humility and graciousness goes along way and he possesses none of those attributes. I give a lot of credit to Sophie. She must have a very laid back personality to co-exist with a man such as Edward.

I quite agree, aside from Princess Michael of Kent, Edward is one of my least favorite living Windsors.  He reminds me of a few other "youngest-in-the-family" that I know.

I never liked Queen Mary, cold and distant woman, so little loving with her children who suffered much of its lack of human warmth.

I do not like the King George V which was no more affection for his sons and be tough and intansigeant to them. He is as guilty in my eyes for doing nothing, when he had the power to save the Russian imperial family after his fall in 1917.

I agree with everyone who's been listed so far. Except perhaps Princess Michael. I don't know a lot about her (though what I've heard has not been very positive) so I don't think I really like or dislike her. Plus I do have to give her credit for being the only cat person in the family.

I would have to say Queen Mary.  I have read that was very aloof from her children and that they were quiet in awe of her.

All boring members of the family:

Duke of York(don't won't to sound rude but I got impression that he is a bit stupid)

Edward Wessex...don't know,looks boring

Princess Anne-she may be good harted and hard working but sometimes I don't get the impression that she is Princess Royal



Members I like:

Princess Michael of Kent because she has the guts and she knows what she want's...and yes,very glamourous

Princess Alexandra of Kent-the most blue blooded Princess in the whole family,very elegant...a real example of a Princess,just like her mother,her grandmother,her great-grandmother and her cousins from her mother's side

The Queen-very conservative,elegant,royal and yet sometimes looks down to earth...

 I dislike Prince Michael of Kent, because of an extremely sexist remark he made some years ago. In discussing his then teen-aged son and daughter, he remarked that Lord Frederick Windsor was quite intelligent, and that Lady Gabriella was something of an airhead ( or words to that effect). He said that he considered this to be quite appropriate, because "intellectual girls can be such a pain". I've despised him ever since! ::)

I dislike Princess Anne too, but I really can't explain why

I agree I dont like King George V for that either. He was a selfish and cold indiviidual and he left his cousin the Russian Tsar and his family to a terrible fate because he was  worried about his own popularity. He's top one of my list.

Oh, he wasn't really that bad.  To say he left the Romanovs to a terrible fate because he was worried about his own popularity is a bit simplistic once you go into the whole issue.  To begin with, he had no idea at the time that the decision he took would eventually lead to their terrible deaths and was as shocked and distressed as the rest of the royal family when the news slowly came through.

I agree with you, I think She was a vulgar adventurer who deturned Edward VIII away from his duties for purely personal interests. She did not much, anyway, to dissuade him to break with her.
