I once read an article (on line= so take with a grain of salt) that discussed the amount of money that Britain has to spend to maintain the crown. Can’t remember the figure but remember thinking that it was a big sum. Given that the queen is one of the riches people on earth, maybe austerity should include eliminating the monarchy. Not defending the violence but I can understand the sentiment.
He didn’t so much command Churchill not to go, as he did threaten to accompany him on the trip if he insisted in going...

My bad.
Rather than using the horses they should have gotten the water canons out. Or teargas.

That was the official story, but what really happened was Churchill’s navy commander told Ike about Churchil’s plan, despite being told not to tell anyone, and Ike had the King tell the commander that Churchill had decided not to go. The King then told.Churchill that if the PM would parrcipate then do should the King, which was not going to happen.
Time for these inbreeds to realize their time is up. Monarchies are morally reprehensible.

Cool picture.
Why do you care? Is she a relative?
