My favorite Queen Elizabeth story was on a trip back from losing a World Cup game to Germany, she reportedly patted one of the team on the arm and said, “It’s alright, we beat them twice this century at their national sport.”
This is the kind of leader she was. At 14 years old, in 1940, her first radio address was to England's children giving them a measure of comfort and hope during those dark times. You can listen to it here:
14 years old. Who among any of the naysayers would have the courage to do that.
While I don't have much truck with royalty and elitism, if the world's politicians followed her example of service to country, instead of lining their pockets and foisting their cockamamie ideas on the world, it would be a much better place.
Like I said I don't have much truck with royalty, but I respect this woman's lifelong dedication to her country and the people of England.
The Queen is dead! Long live the King!!

ReplyDeleteA joke at the expense of Her Majesty? I've read she had sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteI don't get the royalty thing but she seemed pretty laid back.
RIP
