Queen Elizabeth II was born on April 21, 1926 in London, England.
She was born into royalty to King George VI and his wife, the late Queen Mother (Elizabeth).
On February 6, 1952 King George VI died and Elizabeth became the reigning queen of England. Her coronation was on June 2, 1953.
Although I respect Queen Elizabeth and her duties, royalty continues to puzzle me...
i think the sex pistols god save the queen says it all...angus aka dale......
ReplyDeleteYou know, Gypsy, the Sex Pistols did have the right idea.
ReplyDeleteHow much future is there now for the queen or king or prince or princess...
Just call me Dangus...lol
;)
Hello Dale,
ReplyDeleteI have edited the first paragraph of my queen's day post to clarify who is who. Luckily the British royal family has no say in the Netherlands.
As usual you take the language to a different level: 'orange' as a way of saying 'or aren't you'.
brilliant.
MyVal is now posting images of Foy Vance and two extremely colourful 'queens' we met in Utrecht. Recommended.
Love

Sorry for writing about the German soccer team. I have corrected it, of course that must be football team ;-)
ReplyDeleteLuckily Delbut and James Casey didn't notice.
Hi Dale,
ReplyDeleteYes Monarchy in the UK... it puzzles me too.
Are you feeling better?
And the rest of the family?
I'm sleepwalking now, it's very late here and I'm posting a couple of hellos and then off to bed. Tomorrow I'm working URGH! on a Sunday...
See ya,
xoxoxo

the younger generation dont give a flying fig about royalty they are just tabloid fodder these days....very out dated...since the diana carry on no one trusts them...but why would they just look at the history books ...says it all really..
ReplyDeleteKoos, I like the where the chatter on Rachel's blog is leading right now. We're having fun.
ReplyDeleteGo Flames Go!
We are all feeling better, Marietta, thank you! Get some good sleep.
You're right, Gypsy, the drama & intrigue that follows the royals must run in the family! It's a long line...
Hi Dale,
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a monarchist, but I do wish Elizabeth II a long, happy life. She has always placed duty for country before anything else, and that's something to be admired in a world that sorely lacks commitment, I suppose. God, I am sounding like an old geezer, aren't I?
Cheers,
AM
Yes, Anne-Marie, I do agree with you about admiring Elizabeth.
ReplyDeleteI think that when we talk about the monarchy, we have to sound old. It's such an old establishment!
Hi Dale,
ReplyDeleteAhh, the old queen, still going strong. I don't know if she's still there to save us from having to call Charles 'King', or if she actually likes the job....maybe you just get into a routine after 50 odd years of it. :)
I think that monarchy puzzles us all!!
All things said, I think that is a lovely photo of Her Royal Highness...
