Agreed.
Her actions during WW11 went a long ways to hold the country together - not just serving as a mechanic - but, while London was under the Blitzkrieg, she refused to leave London - even after the palace itself was bombed, against all urging, she refused to leave.
She stayed to give the people support and hope. No One would have thought ill of her had she left - but she stayed and in all other ways, was a comfortingly, steadfast figure for the people.
None of these things were mentioned in the long diatribe - and without mentioning much of the good she did do - it is a diatribe. It is ‘opinion.’
Everybody has one.

See post 10, she never “served” in any capacity, and she was never a mechanic.

So she did a few PR stunts while Princess, while under the orders of her father and with the request of Churchill.
McGovern served in World War 2. I guess he was the patriotic choice too.
