Kate's family legacy was interesting since before she joined the British monarchy. Her lineage is replete with devoted veterans of both World Wars. Hopefully more Brits are taking stock in their heritage and honoring the memory of their ancestors.

I don’t know much about her but she certainly comes across as classy.

>> Kate ... re-wore a £1,750 polka dot dress ...

What relevance does wearing a $2,200 dress have to do with a visit to Bletchley Park? Sounds like a microaggression to me. Wimmings?

Speaking of ancestors I wonder if Uncle John Trump and his efforts to save Great Britain will be mentioned when the family visits next month.

Valerie Glassbow and her twin sister Mary were part of the Second World War codebreakers who helped decipher the German Enigma machine.

Working alongside Alan Turing, they deciphered enough critical code to allow Turing to refine the program of his first self built computer to break the Enigma's daily code resets in a matter of minutes rather than days.

Well done, Ladies!

Both ladies very pretty.

Wow, I’m right up there with Kate. I re-wear and re-wear and re-wear and re-wear everything. Ok, what was the point of the author stating this?

I visited Bletchley Park back in August of 2007. That was before they had decided to restore it. Back then, they had a big room filled with a private collection of Churchill memorabilia. It was fascinating to walk through the aisles, and see all the stuff. If I remember correctly, the collection was owned by Jack Darrah. When new management moved in, the new director nixed the collection, saying that the wartime Prime Minister "is not synonymous with code-breakers' work." Whatever happened to the collection is unknown.

Here's a link to a video of Jack Darrah regarding his exhibit:

Love this woman. What a great Queen she will make, if Charles doesn’t turn it into an Islamic Republic first.

She died in 2006 without ever speaking publicly about her role in the war.

What’d “née” Markle do to celebrate Memorial Day now that she’s royalty?

With any luck, Charles will pass away while Trump is still in office. Assuming Queen Elizabeth does have two many years to go, and pray that she outlives Prince William. Great Britain and the U.S. of A. will have the most gracious and beautiful Queen and First Lady in history at the same time.
