18-year-old Queen Elizabeth serving in the Second World War

- In April 1944, young Queen Elizabeth - then Princess Elizabeth - turned 18. Her teenage years had been against the backdrop of the Second World War. Elizabeth was determined to ‘do her bit’ for the war effort, as so many of her peers were. Within a year of turning 18, Elizabeth would sign up for the Auxiliary Territorial Service. It was an unprecedented decision - this would make her the first woman in the Royal Family to become a full-time member of the armed services.

Chauffeur to the Queen: "Mam, the limo broke down again. I will get our mechanic. "
Queen: "Nonsense! Get out of my way and hand me that wrench!"
Thats not far from the truth. Right into her 60s, she worked on her Land Rover whenever anything went wrong
The Queen would never call it anything but a spanner!
She to this day will occasionally describe herself as "a mechanic"
Now all I can picture is here casually talking to the royal engineers in the motor pool to check up on their progress from time to time.
I remember one story of when the king Saudi Arabia came to Britain and she drove him. She doesn't have a driver's license because, well, she's the queen. And in his country women were not allowed to drive at that time. And she drove quite fast that it scared the king. But she told him of her experience and told him that she was licensed mechanic.
It is said that this incident influenced Saudi Arabia into allowing women to drive.
MY grandmother worked as an ambulance driver for the Red Cross during WWII. Very few women knew how to drive, let alone fix a car. As the daughter of a garage owner, she knew how to do both. She and my mother picked up wounded British soldiers from the Brooklyn Navy Yard and drove them to Brooklyn Methodist Hospital. Like Queen Elizabeth, my mother considered these experiences to be a seminal experience of her youth. And she would often astound car mechanics when she brought her car in to be serviced. These young women were quietly proud of their contributions which did so much to help ensure victory. They considered it a privilege to have performed their duties.
My uncle was a conshie and an ambulance driver in WW2 also. Here is a clip of him driving his ambulance.

You mother was very brave, as you can see they drove under heavy barrages.
Definitely something to be proud of.
My dad’s mom was a nurse in the army
& you think the queen did all that too😂😂
Baddass
Now I understand why Queen Elizabeth is loved so much by her people. I thought it was just a blind stupid love just because she is the queen. But she is not "just a queen". She did so much to serve her people. Mad respect for her. How I wish there are more people like her.
She wasn't kidding when she promised to give all of her life, whether long or short, to the service of her country. She is a unique monarch in that respect. It was not about power for her, but steadfast, enduring, dedication to her special role as queen of the United Kingdom. She took on the role with humility and grace and has never faltered in her dedication in all her long reign as queen of England. She is remarkable.
@@maryvalentine9090 Oh baloney! Did she "serve" when she chose her mother over Philip? Did she "serve" when she had a kid with a lover? Did she "serve" when she continued on as head of the church while committing adultery and ignoring her vows? She LOST the right to head the church in 1959, but continued on as if it was her RIGHT to have two husbands. She kept her lover (Lord Porchester) on her payroll so she could see him every day and travel the world with him.
He was MARRIED but that didn't bother the Queen at all. She "stuck it to Philip" until Porchy died in 2001. Andrew CHANGED the family dynamic and broke the hearts of Charles and Anne (who loved their father and knew their mother cheated on him). Because of Andrew, the Queen was blackmailed by Diana and she destroyed Charles reputation (because she could). Charles did NOT cheat on Diana (until AFTER she had a child by a lover). Because the Queen had Andrew with a lover, Diana decided that she was the same as the Queen (having a son with a lover) and demanded the Queen force Charles to "accept" Harry, as the Queen had forced Philip to accept Andrew. Diana DESTROYED Charles by lying about him because she could. It amused her to manipulate the press to her own liking. Charles could NOT defend himself OR Diana would turn on his mother. Charles protected his mother (and monarch) at huge personal cost. He is a treasure, but most people are dim and defend Diana.
Queen Elizabeth also used her driving skills in 1998, to take King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia for a drive of her estate in Scotland, lol. Please remember that in 1998, women were not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia... and that Liz decided to drive fast..
the propaganda was strong
@@cjosborne9430 This all sounds possible, but do you have any evidence to support these claims? Or are you just venting your theories?
I'm impressed of how brave Queen Elizabeth was at 18 during the war and how she managed to learn everything that they taught her. She was a mechanic! That toughness what made her a good Queen. May she rest in peace 💐
When I learn of this, I was thinking to myself... Never once had I seen nor heard a real king, queen, prince or princess fighting along side others in a war other than in movie and anime.
Queen Elizabeth is the only I have ever heard to have done this. Truly badass.
@@Player-rv8ph I know you said you never heard of it but it’s happened before
Examples: Leonidas, Richard the 3rd
@@carlmarxx Ah, yes. They are so mighty that I almost forgot they were actually kings.
Merely propaganda I’m afraid Laurie. It was all designed to give citizens the idea the Royal Family was doing their bit and sharing the country’s hardships.
I pay my respect to Elizabeth and everyone who helped in any way during WW2
She did nada, the real weight lifting was done by Indian soldiers, shame that Britain and the queens family used india to loot its wealth and build their back home
@@Tsug2803 you think I don't respect india? well I do actually providing millions of manpower
@@Drengicide for providing millions of meat shields perhaps?
@@Drengicide The so called heroes of British used their power to collected every last piece of crop and destroyed anything remaining for the natives and the starved natives were forced or enslaved to enlist into rhe army to be fought in foreign lands and for foreign people and their deaths were never noticed by anyone. And the villains called themselves heroes after killing another villain.
@@PaulGamingPUBG how has that got anything to do with what I was talking about?
So your telling me, the queen could put my polo on coilovers,straightpipe, and tune it? Sickkk
What do you mean by 'Sickkk'? She is a good mechanic able to service her own car if she likes and drove trucks and ambulances
@@walkerhjk Sick means good
She apparently really was a good mechanic and for many decades after this was able to still maintain her own vehicles in private like land and range rovers.
She can put it in the garbage for you too.
The queen must return all the stolen loot
I really admire the fact that she insisted in doing as much as she could -- and that counts as part of the training that any head of state should have, probably the most valuable part! She's been serious, sober, and responsible her whole life, a real one in a million as heads of state go.
As a proud Irishman I have always seen something good in this woman and I believe she has done alot more good than bad in her life.She was also a very pretty young woman with a nice smile and beautiful eyes.She still has the smile and eyes now at almost 100 years old.
This is fantastic footage and well put together. Honorable mention must also be given to the women who worked in intelligence gathering. Especially the Y Service and Bletchley Park. Because of the nature of the work even their parents were not allowed to know what they did. Women & men of honour respected the Official Secrets Act to the end of their lives. No wonder we call them the greatest generation. God bless and care for our gracious and noble Queen.
I watched series "Absolute History: The farm at war" (or something like that). In one episode they mentioned a couple in their 80's who only now (the 1990's) told each other their secret war work. One was a coatal watcher, the other a messenger carrier.
A great series, btw. People living the life.
One of my aunts in the Wrens was there
My wife was an Army Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) Analyst [98C] in the US Army (also known as the Vatican's "Archdiocese of the Military Services, USA") many years ago. She could not tell her family members anything about what she learned in her training (both MOS Training and while Mobilizing for OIF/OEF), until now. She did not last long in the military, however, because of her earnest and sincere desire for truth. [John 8:32 (KJV) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.] And, she hated working outside of the home as a single woman in those years of military service. [Psalm 34:18 (KJV) The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.]
One has to study the news of the times to realize how many women were elisted in the war effort. The work would have not got done without them. Rosie Riveter writ large.
and now we have pride month n abortion rights
My mother trained in the ATS at Camberley during the war too, qualifying as a lorry driver and later, ambulances. At the age of 70, two years before her death, she drove a large lorry to help an Australian friend bring in the farm's harvest when his regular driver was taken ill.
Shes a legend!
This is one absolutely exceptional woman.
There will never be another like her.
All the things she has done and have been through would have destroyed another woman or man.
God bless her.
What in the world has she "been through" that would have destroyed others? She has lived a life of complete luxury. She has NEVER prepared a meal, or ran a vacuum, or made a bed. She does NOT do a lick of "volunteer" work. She is the master of her own universe, answering to no one. She had a child with a lover (when she was 33) and didn't give a rip what it did to her other children. She had TWO husbands (in essence) because she traveled the world with both of them. Her lover was married; she didn't give a rip. She "pretended" to be a mechanic, but never worked a day as a "mechanic.'" She made that film to manipulate OTHER women into working. (She has you completely fooled and singing her praises and ignored the LIES and GREED and IMMORALITY of her life.)
Not necessarily. She wasn't on the frontlines
@@kaiserredgamer8943 did you she the video??? No woman was allowed
@@Asiandramas99 exactly, she didn’t go into frontlines and now people are saying she was important then the men who shot guns and died
@@kaiserredgamer8943 No war was ever won on the fron lines, the supply chain, the auxilary services and the logistics win wars..
what a great insight into our Queen including all the other hard working women who all didi their share for the war effort. Long live the Queen, congratulations on reaching 70years of service.
Service? She’s rides horse and hides tax payer’s money off shore… she’s a parasite.
I hope we have a world war 3
Moving to watch this now after her death. I think the war probably did shape her sense of duty and commitment. One of the last of that generation. RIP Queen Elizabeth.
I am an American. I have no ties to the United Kingdom or its realms. Yet today, I am...we all are... celebrating our Queen. Truly, we were lucky to live in a world that she graced for 96 years. Long live the Queen. Long reign to the new King. 🇬🇧👑😓
She is loved by many Americans.
Our queen? Lol
2 Reasons to Love the Queen:
1: When it was a World War - she served like everyone else
2: When the Saudi Prince came to visit, as a sly dig at Women not being allowed to drive in Saudi - she personally drove him around (I believe at speed) in her Range Rover around her Estate.
She's actually surprised more than one official while in the country by working on a vehicle by herself.
And a Saudi prince by hopping into the driver's seat of a Range Rover and demonstrated her expert driving skills at speeds that alarmed the poor sexist jerk around the grounds of (I believe) Balmoral. She took personal umbrage (and rightly so) at the Saudi policy of not allowing women to drive.
@@haplessasshole9615 A prince of a country that doesn't allow women to drive and the queen throws his ass in her range rover and drives it like she stole the damn thing. I love it.
An amazing woman! What a fine example for us today. Never will we have another Queen like Elizabeth.
I have a picture of my dad's sister (Canadian military) and her company being visited by Princess Elisabeth and the Queen Mum when she was stationed in England during WWII. What a monarch!-John in Texas
HRM is unbelievable Queen indeed. Thank you for your service to this nation.❤️
What service?
Shooting grouse and bleeding the poor dry to pay for her billionaire, over-privileged lifestyle.
@@Poliss95 70 years of public service. So thousands of public engagements promoting and rewarding all the good things
in our society like charities and all the different aspects in our culture. Thousands of public and private engagements promoting
the prestige of our country and so with it aiding our economy. Some of these involving travel abroad. Thousands of civil engagements
promoting community spirit. Etc etc etc.
As a Filipino Canadian and I say, God save the Queen!!!!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Pffff Canadans 😝
It is… God Save the Queen and down with the Republicans (and Democrats)
Mm
Rest in Peace Elizabeth you have fulfilled your duties proudly
kings and queen who stand together with the people in times of war are true leaders
@Kaisa Song King George VI, didn't live long after WWII. I seems the war had a heavy toll on his health.
@@trespire King George VI did join WW I in fact he fought the Germans during the Battle of Jutland
@@bennytsai4065 Didn't know he George VI faught in the first war.
I’m here after Queen Elizabeth has passed away on this day.
Long live the Queen.
How well done this commentary. Tasteful, informative, and the narrator was impeccable.
I totally agree. Excellent narration and presentation.
Cool she did her bit, my family did their bit. If everyone does their bit we all win. Good on you Mam.
That's exactly as it was in the UK, the men at war, the women had to keep the country going. My Grandmother worked in an ammunition factory, while her elderly mother cared for her young children, and an aunt was in the land army.
HRH has the distinction of being the last surviving Head of State to serve during WW2.
She was not a head of state during WW2 so your statement is false
It's actually HM.. not HRH
@@ghsense2626 The syntax was ambiguous: "who served" would have been clearer. But you are being a pedant.
@@ghsense2626 No it is true. She survives, she is a head of state, and she did serve in the military in WW2.
You are right there, even though she wasn't head of state yet.
I think the most touching part of the story is of her celebrating anonymously in the streets with other Londoners.
That's an experience I doubt any Royal after her has or will have the opportunity to have. I guess Harry can now but he doesn't want to! 😂
Yes I love how they showed this in the absolutely wonderful film A Royal Night Out.
Actually they have done that before with both William and Harry but that was when they were much younger, and they still got photographed, and of course Harry got in more trouble. Still though, it does show that they can still live outside a little bit, if they know how to. Makeup can do wooonders these days. LOL
I haven't seen it - but there was a movie made about this event called " A Royal Night Out " (2015 )
Wills and Harry--as well, I think--used to tool around in London and elsewhere, on a motor cycle, anonymously with a full helmet on his head. That's how Wills used to go to court Kate.
Amazing to think the Cockney would totally disappear under her reign.
You're so right about Harry
My grandmother was an honest-to-goodness Rosie the Riveter at Boeing during the war. She also was a welder. Women's contributions to the war effort don't get enough attention.
Has anyone in the comments mentioned the fact she saved her rations to get the material for her wedding dress? I don't think I could name many that have the Queens dedication to their country.
Well he dad lead from the front. Through out the war the Royal family lived on the same rations as the rest of England.
OMG it was just a photoshoot just like with that red grandchild of hers.
It was mentioned in the video.
Oh please, why do you have to lead a parade of "fibs" to try to make her look better than she is? The public sent in hundreds of ration stamps for her BUT they had to be returned. The government then GAVE her an "extra" 200 stamps. (That is NOT any sort of "dedication" but Royal privilege.) Can you just be honest and NOT "gild the lily?"
@@monaliza3334 The Queen has only ONE red headed grandchild and that is Princess Beatrice. Harry has red hair but he is NOT related to the Queen.
RIP Liz. You were a total badass and low key a major babe.
My Grandma was a Corporal in the ATS from 1939-45 and was on a gunsight in London until after D-Day when she was sent to Belgium to work as a switchboard operator . She married my Granddad a Frist Sargent and American who's family was also from the North of England in the Belgium in 1944 in her Commanding officer's wife's wedding dress that he got sent across the by plane in time for the for the service .
Your Gran was a war bride. I hope their marriage was a good one.
I think our Queen is wonderful and her sense of duty has been the motto of her life. I wish many of us would do what is expected of us with the same sense of service.
God save the Queen 🙏💐
yeah there is beautifull song God save the queen,
by sex pistols !
Sense of what duty? You mean enjoy taxpayers money, attend events, cut ribbons, make speeches and live a lavish life from our money when we have to work our arses off?? Also they stole there fortune and there is a lot of deceit behind all of there smiles and traditions, the ordinary public are to dumb to realise. One day they'll throw us all under the bus and then I'll say but I told you so...
Playing dress up and wasting money so dumb no wonder UK on the down hill
I doubt that anyone loves Great Britain as much as does its Queen.
@A W De jure, Queen Elizabeth (or today King Charles) can dissolve the parliament and appoint the prime minister. He also has royal assent to legislations being passed in parliament. In a Republic, the President can veto or sign then enact laws. In the UK, it is the King who signs such laws.
The Queen once privately funded the construction of public housing for Hong Kong victims, so I am very grateful to the Queen for her concern for Hong Kong victims. My English is not good and I am very grateful to the Queen for her contribution to Hong Kong
Ehhh did you not forget what the British did when they annexed Hong Kong ? Lol. Learnt that u guys were treated like dogs and forbidded to enter public places lo
@@yukisong1259 ah yes, and then the golden age of hong kong happened under british reign, and many became prosperous, so?
@@yukisong1259 much the same as when any power takes control, China has done an absolute stellar job as well... Oh wait.
The Royal mechanic was so beautiful.
Queen Elizabeth II was a remarkable woman.
I wish had known this about her earlier, she's a courageous women and Queen.
Yep. Shooting defenceless birds takes real courage.
As does living in a royal palace out of harms way while others were subjected to rationing, bombing etc.
@@MrBrutal33 the family was also subjected to rationing you pillock.
@@RDHWK Ironic, considering his name is " The Watcher "
She had a good king as an example
Some years ago a man whose car broke down in north Norfolk was helped by a middle-aged lady who, after looking under the bonnet of his car, diagnosed the fault, got the vehicle going again, and waved him off. It was only when he said to his son that the lady looked familiar that the little boy said "that was the Queen" and he realised it was the monarch who'd been the "lady mechanic".
Or it could have been my next door neighbour who was the spitting image of Lizzie.
What would you say "You're the Queen aren't you?" or just "Thank you Ma'am" ? I find it hard to believe he didn't recognise her immediately. All he had to do was take a coin out of his pocket and compare the faces.
Source: trust me bro
And also a mechanic?
@@paulmcgee1867 HM The Queen, then Princess Elizabeth, joined the Women's Auxiluary Territorial Service when she was 18 years old during WWII and trained as driver and mechanic. Like all drivers, she was expected to maintsin her own truck (a 3 ton Bedford, I believe), from simple tasks - fixing a fan belt, oil changes, etc - to stripping down the gearbox, sorting out the transmission, etc. Changing a tyre or dealing with dirty plugs would be childsplay for her.
God bless Queen Elizabeth. From the Philippines
I do sometimes wish people would talk about Queen Elizabeth’s military service a little more often than they do. I’ve always found that to be one of the most impressive things about her. A Queen that is also a mechanic is so cool
I love when she said that the queen said we are glad we have been bombed now we can look the east end in the eye. I think it’s a beautiful line to show your solidarity.
I believe it was the Queen Mother who actually made that comment.
Same -- that's an unbelievably touching thing to say.
Now I get why the Queen Mother was so loved. That and her merry smile!
I don't know if you know this or not, but it was a strategy - at least initially - by the Nazis to bomb only poorer areas of London in the hope that they'd rise up against the leaders and demand peace. So the Nazis were deliberately not bombing the Royal family etc. Hence the quote.

From what I've heard
She has a remarkably quick wit
Now...I don't know if that's the definition of "intelligent"
But she's certainly no "fool"
When I got to visit Windsor castle and read a page from her diary, I realised what a good person she was.
I would trust her to lead us through hard times than any politicians today.
She reminds me of my nan, God rest her soul. I hope we have her around for many years to come.
She is the whole country's Nan, we have all grown up with her always being there as a sensible elder person. She unites us Brits as one family.
So, did YOUR nan cheat on gramps and had a child with a lover? Did your nan pretend to be something she wasn't, to get others to do the work?
Her diary is open for the public?
Have loads of respect for the queen and all who served in the war. Lots of admiration and respect for our British pals from across the "puddle." Best wishes to the queen and all of you from Oregon, USA.
That was a great video well presented.
We’re never going to get another one like her again. I don’t know anybody including myself that could’ve done a better job than she did.
Wow! She already started doing her share to serve her country at such a young age. She deserves all the respect she gets. She’s a great Queen!
Most countries do not have such humble leaders. I hope the royal family does her life and memory some justice. Woman of steel.
And that's why she was awesome.
THE QUEEN ELIZABETH II 🙏🇬🇧❤️🙏👑 UK BLESS!!
Even though I was born in the United States and I am an American I have great respect for Queen Elizabeth the second
Am absolutely gutted... God bless you Ma'am.
RIP. Rest easy :((
Fascinating. Our dear departed Queen's life before she became Queen, particularly being separated from her parents and the ATS, gave her the experience that would make her the wonderful Queen she was.
She felt obligated
Being shut away in palace
While others served
Did the right thing!
The 18 age requirement should have
Been dropped even nelson joined
At 12!
Most people act like the queen was just spoon-fed and benefiting off her royal lineage. Those sort of people have no idea how much she served her country and did her duty. How many young ladies these days can do half of what she did at that young age of 16? How she was able to handle everything, even better than most men could, volunteering to even serve in the war disregarding her status as heir to the throne.
Queen Elizabeth is worth all and far more of the respect she’s been given.

@@yukichan177 There's a thing with monarchy, there's no filter. Queen Elizabeth II is worthy as she always taken her role as a duty to her country with hearth and devotion, but there's no guarantee that her succession would do the same.
If I assume that you were comparing GB monarchy to other countries' democracies I would agree with you if you meant that most of them are disguised oligarchies because of the power of lobbyists.
She paved the way to become a servant of the United Kingdom where she has been for the longest time as Queen in all History.
The sad reality is that she won't be around for much longer, but what a legacy she's left for her family & our nation. I will always be proud to have had her as Queen. I will make sure my nieces & nephew will know about her & her faith.

Learning to drive also laid the groundwork for her love of driving later in life. She takes great delight in scaring her passengers as she speeds around her estates.

I reckon if the Queen herself had done a voice over/ interview of her early years during the war it would have been brilliant. It would also go a long way to add to the respect of the public.
I don't need that to respect her. She has my ultimate respect already and every day my respect for her grows because in comparison to pretty much all the world's leaders, especially today, she has not been about self.

The best Queen in the world. Love by millions.
She is the people's Queen and she is loyal to her subjects and her country
Truly the last of the greatest generation
And in time when she passes the whole world will grieve the loss of the greatest Queen of England in history, you see those of us across the pond love the Queen as well
Better to do front line combat in Stalingrad than to repair British cars. She nots.
I refuse to be called a subject. I'm a citizen. No. The whole world will not grieve when she dies. I expect there'll be a lot of cheering from people in countries that Great Britain enslaved. Oh, and btw. She's NOT Queen of England. The last Queen of England died in 1603.

She doesn't own any swans in any other country. The medieval law on the ownership of swans extends only within England and Wales and Scotland.

A real working Royal! I have the utmost respect and admiration for the Queen.
All the way. Actual Noblesse Oblige! A head of state with her kind of principles should reign for life, it's why Britain still has a monarchy. She oversawbthe dismantling of empire, because she knew it was time and didn't wish to see more, bloodier and civil wars on her watch. I've always been impressed with Windsors from Bertie on, I hope that trend continues. Bless 'em!
More than POWER is MAN. I respect your QUEEN and proud of my KING of KINGS who could think/do everything. Unfortunately, most THINGS never get into slaves/4legs.
The queen is such a wonderful caring person. It would be wonderful if all humans could try to emulate how truly caring she is. She is probably the most caring person in the world. No one comes even close.
Rest in peace Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
As am American whose ancestors threw off the royal yoke, I have no use for royalty. That said, I have a lot of respect for this Queen.
Duty, Duty, Duty.
Service!
Impeccable!
70 years! Thanks!
shes worked hard and deserved all the recognition b stowed in her platinum jubilee she put the part of great in Britain , thank you for your service of 70 years ma,am.
I'm just starting my life as well. She's my inspiration.
Had Germany tried Sealion, I don't think the royals would've fled. They would've fought. Just as Churchill would've.
Really wonderful clothes.. When I was a child even poor people could buy good quality fabric and pay skilled dressmakers nearby to make classic clothes and dress up like a queen.
No we poor could NOT pay for good quality fabric or pay for skilled dressmakers nearby to make clothes for us. Where did you dig up that fantasy?
@@Poliss95 Oh sorry! Im from Brazil;
And some decades ago people here have to learn manual skills to finda a job and we had a textile industry and large harvests of cotton and flax fiber.
A (not so) fun fact about our textile industrie is that some american imigrants came here after the Civil War to start enterprises and make fabric using the slave labor.
So one hundred years after that, we had all the conditions to buy good fabric and make good clothes. Brazilian housewifes had sewing machines and the best sewers could earn some extra money making women and child clothes to the neighbours.
Now people here buy the same rags that americans and londoners buy. Terrible design, cheap plastic fabric sewed in sweat shops from Asia. And the youngsters don´t learn how to sew anymore.
RIP driver and mechanic Elizabeth II. Those who serve are worthy of service.
What a gorgeous and strong young Lady she was during and after the war!
Still a beautiful and strong Lady today at 96 years old!
Happy 70th anniversary, Your Majesty. ❤
Wow! I'm amazed, the "Queen", good to hear.
God Save the Queen Elizabeth II 👑
Great respect from 🇵🇱 🕊️
Great respect for history...Great respect for future 🕊️
And idiots disrespect this gem of a lady 🤦♂️
I don't support the monarchy or the royal family, but I can appreciate the individual achievements and acts of people like King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II and I have great respect for them both for their work during the 2nd world war.
It saddens me a bit when I hear stories of celebrities when they meet the queen. She is living history. If I had met her at a party, I would immediately begin asking about the war, Winston Churchill, etc. (How did she feel when she heard Churchill's speeches?). Such opportunities lost. Most of them say the most dullest things and mock her.
One does not ask person questions from the queen -- or for that matter any stranger you meet.
@@Chuck0856 Yeah, as an American I'm pretty sure that doesn't fly with us. I'd show her respect, but I definitely would ask. I think my first question would be about Churchill, or truck engines.
Her majesty is what me called true queen .
Not some self proclaim tiktok influencer .
Wonderful to know that even worked hard for her crown MAY GOD BLESS HER ABUNDANTLY. Thank you very much for such important information.
What a really interesting video. Thank you.
