I don't doubt or underestimate the seriousness and unpleasantness of severe morning sickness. There's nothing worse than puking non-stop or feeling you're about to. It seems to be mostly the luck of the draw. I was very lucky and didn't feel even slightly queasy. My BFF was badly afflicted but she's always been a "pukey" person anyway - she takes her own towel and bucket on car trips and to parties LOL - so maybe that makes a difference. I honestly can't remember the last time I threw up but it's many years.
We aren't going to get a QEIII for many years either. If all goes according to plan the first female direct heir would be Prince George's daughter if she's the firstborn. I agree that QEII has been an exemplary monarch who hasn't put a foot wrong in 60 years apart from a bit of a wobble around the time of Diana's death. I don't think we will fully realise the contribution the queen has made until after she's gone.
