This paper is a reflection on the contribution of the image of the Queen Motherto the cultural construction of role models of positive ageing. The interestlies in the Queen Mother's performance in public of her roles as woman and royalpersonage particularly as she grew older. It is suggested that cultural analysisof the icon of the Queen Mother as a blend of gender and power suggests certainsignificant parallels with the imagery cultivated around the career of QueenVictoria in the later years of her life.
