I like it. She did her part helping out during the big war and they both have class and style.
My mother was a telephone operator in the London central telephone exchange during the war, one of Hitler's main targets. My dad made an 8 mm film of Prince Charles being strolled through a park by a nanny with no visible security around.
Much different times.

That is the Duke and the Queen, husband and wife. He is Philip Mountbatten, Duke of Edinburgh and she of course is Queen Elizabeth.

My daddy was in the restaurant business after WWII and wound up with 4 bottles of Champagne that celebrated her coronation. The kids got the bottles as a souvenir. My new bride and I drank ours on our honeymoon many years later. It was delicious even though it was old and I have no affinity for the drink.

Oh Blimey Jon!
Ken, I think it is something that doesn't fit well on a business card...
'His Royal Highness Prince Philip Mountbaten-Windsor'
I think his grandma was Queen of Greece- and Denmark? too at the same time I think, but there were other revolutions after WW1 besides the Russian, so his family got out of there. Good choice eh?
To keep YT police happy, yes they do own several tractors of various makes, but he like to drive teams, 2 and '4 in hand'? Which is a handfull I bet.

Yeah! I forgot that part on the business card... So-
His Royal Highness Prince Philip Mountbaten-Windsor, Duke of Edenburgh, consort to the Queen'
Well, 3 lines on a wallet size card... still room for a phone number and email address?

A classy lady. Here she is as a princess, on the cover of Life. Quite pretty, actually!
They have both aged well!

Allan,

Thanks for the picture. I was in the second grade in 1952 when Elizabeth was coronated. Our teacher had a bunch of newspapers that she brought in for the class to observe.

Some people think that the whole royal family thing is a waste, but I think it's pretty cool.

Actually I have seen somewhere pics of the 2 princesses on farm machinery during the war. Food WAS short in England during the war and today there is a national policy of keeping agriculture strong in England. Lesson learned.

Not many people knew she was in the army road transport gang. A few years ago a reporter asked what was a 'happy' memory of the war, she said something like - 'the American made duece and a half! I thought I would get it stuck, and it didn't, I thought it would roll over on me, it didn't, and I could reach the pedals without mucking about with the seat!' They seemed to have been designed for short drivers, she was a small girl.

No, I don't have to. Just another generation of welfare cases that never had a job. Just like their son Charley, written up in a US magazine this summer.....telling us that we have to go organic and be 'sustainable'.....???? We're doing it all wrong, feeding the world. And the mag editor thought we should take that welfare case seriously, for the future of the world. No wonder they have to give the magazine away......was it Progressive Farmer, or Successful Farming? I think the pro rag.
