Queen Elizabeth //
The Queen spends a lot of time
meeting important people
from all over the world, but
she also visits ordinary
people in their homes.
She sends a birthday telegram
to everyone in Britain who
has their 100th birthday.
Some people think that the
Queen is too formal. Most
people
(including
her
friends) must call her “Your
Majesty”.

Prince of Greece and Denmark
in Corfu, June 10, 1921. He was
