And the young woman who would be queen did not evacuate, if my memory serves? Or did the family go and the King stayed?
-
The whole family stayed. Elizabeth worked in a motor pool and can repair a Jeep. They thought it was important to the morale of Londoners for them to show they could take it. It’s one reason the Queen Mother was so revered. I have enormous admiration for them for having stayed.
-
I always thought she was very gutsy. Actually respected them all.

Keep telling myself that if my dad& family coped during this, I can cope w insanity in the WH. Our country survived 1968. If we are determined, we will survive this.

I always think of the bravery of Londoners when people act so scared of something some immigrant might conceivably do.

Yes, but. What do you mean, "withstands"? Did London have a choice? Didn't the people of Portsmouth, Berlin, Dresden, Moscow, Nagasaki "withstand" the war?
-
They stayed, went to factories or the service. They didn’t turn and run.
