I like the Queen too.

I've read books about her, and seen documentaries and historical shows about the Queen. During WWII, before she became the Queen, she worked as a mechanic and truck driver for the British military. Fixing jeeps and other vehicles. Apparently she was a pretty good mechanic and didnt want to give it up.

She's the only Queen who has ever actually served an active role in the military.
