    At the height of the Blitz Queen Elizabeth (The Queen
    Mother) was advised by the Government about evaluating her daughters to the Dominion of Canada (Where the Dutch Royals spent time) and herself out of the city
    She replied
    "The children won't go without me. I won't leave the King. And the King will never leave."
    Adolf Hitler called her "The most dangerous woman in Europe"

    King George VI for me is one of the best kings that the United Kingdom has ever had, he lived through everything, the First World War, The abdication of his brother, the Second World War. And he always stood firm before everything... Too bad he died very young, he could have done more for the country

She became not only Britain's most-beloved monarch (take that, Queen Victoria), not only Britain's longest-reigning monarch, but the world's longest-reigning female monarch, longest-reigning adult monarch, and the second-longest-reigning monarch in history (Louis XIV reigned for 72 years, she ruled for only 70). She had some of the heaviest burdens to bear (Britain joined the EU and left the EU during her reign). Now, her son, who is unloved by the people, has the burden to bear in order to regain what his mother had lost. Nobody loved Charles III. The good news is, he's very old, and his reign will be short. Everybody loves Prince William. He has no popularity problems. So when he becomes King William V, he will be the greatest King Britain has ever had since George VI.

    How much I love this song! I remember playing and singing it so many times when I was in the capital of United Kingdom. One moment was especially memorable - when I went to see the Buckingham Palace. But despite the fact that the sentries were dressed in red, Union Jack was waving and it was during the reign of Elisabeth II, I found the song fitting perfectly for the moment. Now whenever I listen, I remember these great days

    I don't see that this is a particularly "royalist" tune, other than in the general context at that time, people were usually royalist.
    This song was a direct response to Nazi propaganda during the Blitz: you poor Brits have to suffer the bombs while your king is living it up somewhere out in the country.
    The king certainly appeared in London from time to time, but whether he spent all his time there, who knows?
