I've always been interested in the British royals, though admittedly my interest lies with the older ones (like, medieval ones) moreso than anyone more modern than the 1700s. But I do indeed have a special fondness for QEII. She has always epitomized grace under pressure to me, from the pressures of WWII and its aftermath to the pressures of "modernizing." I like her an awful lot, and I fear what will happen when she dies. I've always suspected that she might be the last English monarch, and it'll be interesting to see if that's so. I've heard it said that William will accede, but... *shrugs* He'd likely be a better choice than Charles at this point in time, if it happens.
You've seen The Queen, I trust? I thought Helen Mirren did a fabulous job. If you haven't seen the movie, you should see it ASAP...
