Historical Fact: Mary Queen of Scots was not the most intelligent woman in the world. Oh she had an education but she had not one drop of common sense or she wouldn't have married either Darnley or Bothwell. She did plot against her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I. She thought she should have been the rightful Queen of England. And she never let go of the claim and spent the moment Mary I of England's death reaching her, plotting on taking the English throne. Even more so she was desperate to do so while she fled in exile because if she could have ousted Elizabeth on the throne.. or at least killed her... she would be next and could take English troops to Scotland, depose of her son, and retake the Scottish throne.

Queen Elizabeth I did not want to execute her cousin and signing her death warrant was something that she had avoided until she was left no choice. The reason Elizabeth I was very reluctant to executing her cousin was this: It could be done to her. Mary would have been better off just waiting her turn. It was going to get to her and her family eventually. Elizabeth had a problem with marriage. It couldn't have been because her father had 6 wives and had executed two of them ( her mother and cousin could it)?

I am neither Catholic of Protestant , and if it can be done without great expense, she ought to be sent back to Scotland. It was the country of her birth and to whom she was their rightful queen. And if she is well loved as the article suggests then I'm sure private donors would be more than happy to contribute financially to the move.
