Angelina looks lovely. Not at all sure what to think of the old lady whose only apparent talent was being born a Windsor. Sorry can't stand them

appropriately graceful and elegant while meeting one of the most significant world leaders.

The queen is a bit more than “that old lady” but whatever.

but ..... she is a 92 year old woman who represents their country to the world. She deserves more respect than how Donnie walked ahead of her and blocked her path. I wouldn't think that is proper if that was my mother and not the Queen! I don't care how important he thinks he is. Barack Obama would never have acted so boorishly.

During the recent unpleasantness in the late 1930s and early 1940s, Elizabeth was in military service as a driver.

Took courage to even venture out of bunkers, much less drive around.

When asked if Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret would be sent to Canada or elsewhere for safety during WW11,
"They would not go without me, I would not go without the King and the King will never leave."

concocted to mask their nationality during The Great War. Family name is actually Guelph.
