#1 Steel Magnolia indeed, and a Fine Lady might I add. GOD Bless the Queen.

She was once a soldier. I will always salute her.

#5 My hope is that she outlives her snotty little upperclass twit son.

#6 Rambler, unless Camilla throttles him in a divorce-and-gin-fueled rage, the window is quickly closing on that possibility.

#7 We met an elderly British lady some years back who was a 'lorry' driver, along with the future queen, during WWII. She said that the princess was a 'lovely' person who did her job very well.

Elizabeth also wanted to be a vehicle mechanic, but apparently that was considered too dangerous for a 'Royal' at the time and her father discouraged her from doing so. She obeyed his request.

#8 There was a terrible fire in a stable that housed some of the Queen's horses, as well as those of a number of just ordinary folk. She got out of bed at one o'clock in the morning and went to the scene to comfort people who lost animals (hers were in a different building, and survived). She is one great woman, and she's been a tremendous asset for Britain. Charles should never be allowed within a thousand miles of the title "King". He's arrogant, ignorant, and not terribly bright. Both Andrew and Edward are much more intelligent, as are both of Charles' sons. I hope the Queen recommends that Charles be skipped, and the crown go to William or Harry.

#9 Not to mention it's a bit awkward to have the 'Defender of the Faith' (of the Church of England) to be a closet Muslim...
