Her service in WW2 was no more than any other woman at the time and most likely less so as she didn't have full child care considerations or a proper day job - many women were fulfilling a day job, bringing up kids single handed and going out on fire watch. Her actual contribution to the war effort was negligible. But that's not the point! It's not about individuals, it's about the fact that some individuals are more important than others in this country. She could have dropped the bouncing bomb as far as I'm concerned and she still wouldn't deserve my respect as a monarch.
