A News Item of 3 July 1940

Windsor Castle - King George VI declines to send his daughters, TRH The Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret to Canada for protection in wartime. 

The Queen (later the Queen Mother) was asked about it. She said, 'The girls will not leave without me. I will not leave without the King and he will NEVER leave.'

Later HRH The Princess Elizabeth would serve in the Auxiliary Territorial Service, service number 230873, as a driver and mechanic.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
