I thought I remembered reading that she stayed in London during the Nazi bombings. The woman has some stones and as mentioned above, they seem to take service to their country very serious.

I have been to London several times. One of my favorite cities. Very few can pull off pomp and circumstance like the Brits. I was there one time and I went to watch the changing of the guards at the palace. Met a really hot Spanish girl who was there with her mom. Anyway, the guards were playing Beatles music during the ceremony. Sgt Peppers, Lucy in the Sky, and a few others. I thought it was a bit odd given the stiff upper lip Brits. A Bobby told me that the Queen was not in the palace and the guards were given latitude. It happen to be the B-day or anniversary of John Lennon's death (dont remember which one) so they were playing the songs to honor him. One of the most memorable guard changing I have seen. Very little can compare to a full military marching band playing Beatles music and having a good time doing it.
