Never forget Queen Elizabeth's father, King George VI, actually practiced with Tommy Guns and other weaponry in World War II. He was ready to fight alongside the British army if the Nazis landed on the Isles and tried to take London. No matter what you may think of that family in recent years, that father-daughter duo was something else.

Unfortunately, his brother, the previous king, was a nazi. He had an understanding with Hitler, that he would be placed back on the throne as a puppet ruler, with his American wife as queen, when the Germans conquered Britain. The British government had to exile him to the Bahamas, with a comfy job of course, and keep him under round the clock surveillance.
