The thing is that I could believe this actually happening.

Especially since then Princess Elizabeth Windsor volunteered to serve in the women's auxiliary during WW2, and in the later days of the war served as a homefront army mechanic IIRC.

She served as a driver and mechanic in the Auxiliary Territorial Service, yes.

News flash! In a shocking swerve, President Trump made an objectively correct statement when he mentioned the Queen's wartime service.
Possibly the best reader comment on this came from someone styled mandragola:
Quote:Trump: "Avoiding STDs was my own personal Vietnam"
The Queen: "I was helping my country kill Nazis before you were born"
Although AngelRunning remarked,
Quote:I'm just surprised he didn't say, "Not many people know this ..."
