Well, I am sure she didn't expect Joe (or his replacement) to do it, but she sure expected him to buy her a nanny or au pair to do those sort of things which clearly were unbefitting of a princess.Does she naturally expect her husband or her mother to pick up the kids from school and take them to sports/ballet practice?
As far as her mother? Yeah I be she expected her mother to step up on the nanny's day off. I bet Ginette is enough of a pushover she would have done it too.
I also get what you're saying, she certainly could learn to drive in Seattle. Millions have. I just don't think a car is a necessity where she lives now vs where she was in Florida.
