Who is this?

rydaspyda, You have no idea. You couldn't do the hours of work that she does still and she is in her 90's. Hours of paperwork every day, sitting through lots of diplomatic procedures, speaking several languages to people on subjects she is probably bored stiff with, never any freedom to do anything that we take for granted. Always putting duty before anything personal, never being able to answer back about anything said about herself or her family, and she has never done anything personally to bring a bad name on her family or country (although other members of her family have). Best of all, she brings more money in to the UK in tourism than any other person in the world, including any President the USA has had in her life time. She also pays tax when she doesn't have to because she thinks it's the right thing to do.

Her picture is unmistakeable at any age.

I am no monarchist, but kudos to her for getting her hands dirty during the war

My grandfather lived through 6 monarchs, I'm now retired and have only known one, But she has surpassed all her ancestors in the most difficult of times, a true icon, and irreplaceable. I hope I live as long and retain my faculties as long.

I have to admit to not being a monarchist, but she is a women whom I show great admiration for.

A true icon who still works for her country. Much respect.

A truly amazing and inspirational lady still working hard in her 9th decade.

She did it at the time the Germans were bombing London nightly. She risked her life. That is being a real patriot.

She’s a wonderful person ..and her title doesn’t change her ar all I’ve always loved her in school we used to draw all kind of things that would look like a Queen 💕

rydaspyda, I am not a Royalist but I can show respect for them and their work and leadership.You on the otherhand,are simply a pratt!

That is something admirable as a princess at that time. I bet the boys in the military couldn't take their eyes off her. She is quite so pretty in that military uniform. Maybe somebody in the military brass told everybody in the unit that she is off limit to everyone but didn't told them why. Even I have a crush on her with that picture.

If you can't come up with more than one alternative answer, don't bother submitting the question!

She trained as was her responsibility as a royal. She never served.

Nina Kamwene, and baring USA every country we gave independence to we still kept giving them aid.

Rebecca Cote, but not as proud as thee Queen Elizabeth did for England

Alan Waites, and your point

docluci, see my reply above concerning queen Elizabeth ll.

vudu, I cannot understand why so many people get it wrong when it comes to numbers, like your good self she is Elizabeth the second, but Queen Elizabeth is thee one and only Elizabeth, who passed away in 1603.

I've always admired her mechanical skill.

Total respect. What a wonderful example she has been through all these years.

I would recognize her anywhere .I do so admire Queen Elizabeth. She is a perfect example of class and elegance. I would love to meet her, but I know this is impossible.

Denise Currie, yes indeed...and...20's to the 20's inclusive = 10 decades.

My Sovereign Lady, Queen Elizabeth the Great. My love, admiration & devotion to her is boundless.

wadowesi, well said. They were The Greatest Generation. My parents and all my Aunts and Uncles were part of them. What they endured, fought against and defeated was nothing less than pure evil and a threat to humanity itself. I consider myself truly honoured to be the son of a man who took part in the DDay landings, and was one of only 9 survivors from his entire battalion. He was a Hero, but never spoke of those days & remained totally humble all his life. I love and miss him very much.

I had no idea that she had served her country in this fashion. She is truly remarkable!
