She was born Elizabeth Alexandra Mary. Her little sister called her Lilibet. Her grandchildren call her Granny. The general public calls her Ma'am. Her official title is Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God Queen of this Realm and of Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith. She is Britain’s 40th monarch, and a little over three years shy of being the longest sitting Ruler.
Did you watch the Diamond Jubilee celebrations on TV? It was a gala affair, and I caught some moments from the concert. As the resident Scot, you would expect no less of me.
Prince Charles' tribute to his mummy was a bit of alright, and it was grand to watch all these newly titled Sirs rock on stage, like Sir Elton John and Sir Paul McCartney.
What could happen if the Queen of England, Elizabeth, decided to leave one afternoon to have a solo adventure?! This charming book addresses that. Her staff goes on a frantic dash to find her while she takes the evening train to one of her favorite spots, Scotland. This book is full of characters that are so British, it almost hurts! They are all bound to protect and serve this "little old lady in a hoodie" as she traverses the country and makes friends.
