Her Majesty the Queen Turns 91!

Today is Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II's birthday.

A few fun facts:

1. She speaks fluent French and often uses the language for audiences and state visits. She does not require an interpreter.

2. The Queen has received over 3.5 million items of correspondence during her reign.

3. Since 1952, she has conferred over 404,500 honors and awards.

4. Elizabeth has personally held 610 investitures. An investiture is the ceremony in which an honor is bestowed on someone for their good services; the recognitions are published twice a year, in the Queen's Birthday Honors and New Year's Honors lists.

(...)

11. The Queen and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, introduced small, informal luncheon parties at Buckingham Palace to meet distinguished people from all professions, trades and vocations. The first was held on May 11, 1956, and the tradition continues to this day. There are usually six to eight guests and two members of the royal household in attendance.

12. Elizabeth is patron of more than 600 charities and organizations.

She'll probably reach 100 like all Reptilian Queens

What a thoughtful, considerate, totally un-rude reply.

Following your logic, George Burns was a reptilian BIG TIME.

No wonder why she's still alive. Having the best of everything around her, no hard work, or stressing life, no need to drive and deal with traffic to go work everyday and probably an amazing health insurance plan and free cable with HBO too.

a reply to: Trueman

No stress, eh?

Hm.

You obviously have a very, um, interesting idea of what being a King/Queen means.

Happy Birthday, ma'am.

Congratulations Your Majesty. You are the embodiment of the best of British values. Honour, loyalty, duty, dignity, good manners, fairness, consideration for others. The joy of a non-political head of state and a constitutional monarchy is a source of pride to the people of the United Kingdom, and your representation of us to the rest of the world has been exemplary. Happy Birthday Ma'am. Three cheers for Her Majesty, Hip Hip;

her only "accomplishment" is being born into the right bloodline.

she isnt any better then you and me. in fact based on some of the accusations, facts, and the people she rubs elbows with not to mention here own blood. we are most likely better all around people then her.

by the way her blood comes from Germany the fatherland. i cant remember when but the royal family changed its name to Windsor as to sound more English.

Lying entitled thief's is all the queen and her kin are


I do not wish her a happy birthday

By that premise, most U.S. Presidents have been British.

a reply to: alldaylong

i believe its all but Martin Van Bueren have blood ties to the queen/Royal Family.

Which means they all have blood Ties to the fatherland.

Looking further into it. the Presidents of USA besides Martin Van Buern are related to King John.

I dont know if the queen is related to king John.

Maybe some of the queen groupies here on ats can chime in on that.


and for the record I dont think trump was included in that , but most likely is related somehow

I guess Inbreeding leads to good health...

Whodathunkit ?

Swanne, I didn't know about the facts you listed. Interesting.

Happy Birthday your Majesty!

The English monarchy has a well-documented line of descent which used to be included in school textbooks.
The descent from King John to the present Queen goes through the female line at four points;
Margaret Beaufort (who passed the crown to the Tudors)
Margaret Tudor (who passed the crown to the Stuarts)
The Electress Sophia (who passed the crown to the Hanoverians)
and Victoria (who passed the crown to what became the House of Windsor)
