we do not need theRoyal Family.


They were utterly useless then and they are even more useless now, is it not time we do away with this respectable (Ha) face of privilege and become a Republic?

You can't have realised that as a child Elizabeth addressed the nation on radio to bolster the spirits of the whole population. What have you done to raise the spirits of a nation?

Instead of evacuating England, at the age of 19 Princess Elizabeth joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS). After joining, she trained as a driver and mechanic with the rank of Second Subaltern. Five months later she was promoted to Junior Commander, which was the equivalent of Captain. Her younger sister Princess Margaret was a Girl Guide and later joined the Sea Rangers.
