King George and Queen Elizabeth have firmly rejected suggestions from influential quarters that Princess Elizabeth, 14, heiress presumptive to the throne, and her sister, Princess Margaret Rose, be sent out of the country to one of the dominions because of danger of a German invasion, the Daily Mail said tonight.
Repeated efforts to persuade the royal pair to send the two princesses to a safer land have received this answer in effect: "We all face a common peril, thousands of parents in this country are compelled to keep their children at home. We would prefer to share whatever family perils there may be with parents of this country.
Fast forward to today, and the First Family won't even feed their own kids the same lunch that they're forcing on other school children.
During the war, many of London’s children were evacuated to avoid the frequent bombing. The suggestion by Lord Hailsham that the two princesses Elizabeth and Margaret should be evacuated to Canada was rejected by Elizabeth’s mother, who declared, “The children won’t go without me. I won’t leave without the King. And the King will never leave.”
