Learn more@edwardjones.com morning. I'm Jane Pauley and this is Sunday morning. Dignity and grace to words used so often this past week to describe Queen Elizabeth II as the world mourns her passing at age 96.

What a life she lived born in the roaring 20s, raised in the depression in her teens, she boosted morale during the second world war became Queen at age 25 and for the next 70 years. She was the one constant in an ever-changing Great Britain as the torches passed this morning. We remember her Majesty the Queen with Lee Cowan then tell you about her successor and eldest son with Mark Phillips and recall a life in fall. A monarch devoted to service and duty movies of grief have only just begun Queen Elizabeth's reign seem to have no way to win the end it did come few seem ready there was a hopeful of all the many people that she really would live forever. But even she couldn't manage that and then the man who would be king.

The promise of lifelong service. I renew 202. King Charles III begins his bringing with them a new style and old baggage issue impossible to follow. In some ways I think.

Here's either way, no one has trained for any job. As long as he did the royal family honors its past and looks to the future coming up on Sunday morning.

Not all of Elizabeth II's loyal subjects are the human variety. Some stand on four legs, and as Martha Tyson reminds us she always stood in their corner. If dogs go to heaven she'll you for having the time) with all those corgis imagine them are just tumbling out dogs horses they work with the public. So of the Queens Windows cell Sunday morning.

This Sunday morning for 11 September 2022 and will be right back. She truly was one of the kind Lee Cowan looks back on the extraordinary life and times of Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor Queen Elizabeth II. A few moments ago. Buckingham Palace announced the death of her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II UBC came as a seismic much the Queen Elizabeth II was going through decades of stability and continuity were suddenly going to their fuel live today.

Remember a time without Queen was there during the cold to the age of 20 B wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, she adjusted to social media. She weathered breaks it, she survived Cove. I have been the asked to come, everyone will be able to take pride in how they responded to this challenge and those who come office will say the message of this generation were as strong as any in her 70 years through. She became one of the most recognizable, admired and trusted figures in the and yet as familiar as she walks Queen was largely unknowable. She had such a level of integrity and affection that many of us felt she really belongs to us and we belongs to Gavin Ashington was the Queens chaplain most decade. What was she like in private she was, she was actually immensely intelligent to the student woman with a very dry weight. She didn't suffer fools gladly.

The bubble was generous with low self absorption about will some sorrows, aloof mother saw her room stiff upper lip is simply an outward expression of her role as a constitutional having grown up in the second world war she belong to a generation which just goes along with it.

She didn't believe any mooching in public. She didn't believe in complaining in public that was not ever style Sir David Kennedy is a respected British author and historian. There is something about that mystery of the monarchy that served her well water weight. Yes, call to charisma. I think in the end, derived from the fact that we didn't read what she thought about most things, and that gave a particular kind of prestige which I think is completely unique. Alexandra Mary Windsor was born to be Queen. It was one of those accidents of history.

The eighth abdicated to Mary Simpson, American divorce and that made Elizabeth's father, King and her hair and only 14.

She took to the BBC to address children during World War II there was a poise of willing acceptance of her royal duties, even in the 21 long before she took the throne she was already publicly pledging her loyalty to the she took her vows in public Westminster Abbey for global TV audience is made against the advice that was a huge sense of euphoria.

Perhaps that was a new Elizabethan age about to unfold and it was all terribly joyous and terribly wonderful wasn't always that way for years in the room.

1992 stood out for the wrong reason. The marriages of three of the Queens for children, and fire tore through historic Windsor Castle series of events that led her to speaking about as frankly as she ever did about her innermost phones. It does tend to be less already been more recently, there were more family difficulties pretend settled a civil lawsuit over allegations that he sexually assaulted a 17-year-old girl and Prince Harry and his wife Megan Markel moved to the states and gave up their royal duties. You could see her Hudson when some crisis overtook her children or grandchildren love them all the tumultuous years 1997 may have been the worst. The Princess respect for life in the relentless glare of the public eye died in the princess thing in the car crash in Paris was a point at which the Queens role as mother and grandmother climaxed with her duties as head of state. She chose family staying in Scotland at Belmont Castle to tend to Diana's two children princes William here. It was a decision some thought made her look out of touch callous even to the public morning the nation under pressure.

Queen Elizabeth returned to London I gave a rare live address system control life and from the extraordinary and moving reaction popularity to the point that today most millennial's remember nothing of the controversy over Diana's death only, but the Queen respond a lot millennial or vendor staff writer at Vanity Fair and cohost of the podcast dynasty says while the Queen may have reacted more to change than actually making change herself. She still became a part of pop culture. Two examples of Mark counterculture thinking of her Queen God, 2000 and First Lady Michelle Obama around the Queen protocol was shattered just don't touch yet. Queen Elizabeth responded by embracing Michelle Obama right people looking to tea yes please see more willing to show her sense of humor to this year. She had tea with Paddington bank reviewing what you been carrying around an ever present handbag of hers will be easy's favorite marmalade sand mining that's very kind man whom she called her spring and her stay.the Queen was already slowing.

She still appeared on the balcony this year to commemorate her seven years since the first British monarch to ever celebrate a platinum Jubilee in just two days before she died. She was still carrying out those duties. Meeting with Liz Truss at Bellmore her 15th Prime Minister but is much as tradition remains change oil lamp to Kings say now. Most of his subjects, the longest-serving heir apparent in British history is taking his first steps out of the long shadow of his mother's 70 year reign Mark Phillips assesses the challenges and the promise of the reign of King Charles III 1999 Elizabeth probably presented Prince charming to the world.

From the moment of his birth was little mystery as to what life held in store for the infant Prince now King Charles III was the first baby born to a British air presumptive in a thousand years. This Friday and next in line of succession after his mother that sneeze may have been one of the few things in Charles's life that was unplanned. It was always meant to have an orderly procession where he finds himself took a long time until Charles had what's been called the longest internship in history taking up these responsibilities strive to follow the inspiring example I have been sick. I think he's going to be the best prepared this computer that I had of the frame that anyone else Robert Hartman's latest book on the Royals is Queen of our times, and the idea of being apprenticed in your 70s might seem a bit older than any other job. But the five busy preparing for this for a long time, but in so far as British monarchs have any real power. Charles arrives with a severe handicap. He follows a very successful holder of the job. Everyone's been talking but how she is going to be a hard act to follow you impossible. In some ways I think she is because she became so affectionately familiar for the thousand Britons both somehow mystically distant and touchy-feely wouldn't be the right with freedom but will essentially will write sympathetic and Charles says historian Sir Simon Schama has had trouble with the sympathetic thing. The kind of received wisdom about Charles as he very endearingly says he sometimes seen as an eccentric rent is too wrapped up in passionate principles in which he believes to have this topic for the four ordinary people the claims early and frequent use of the crowd walkabout was one way she had of bringing her closer to the people will be apprenticing from the master. Charles, his first act on returning to London was to work the rope go south so the call and was very will receive. Turns out he's a natural.

Although it's doubtful this ever happened to his mother about this matter staircase from someone like you. She said I didn't hesitate because much of the Queen go for not say so that is good.*Is there a kind of magical royal fairy dust that that the same thousand Charles is another problem. Unlike his mother thinks one modern architecture. He hates it on global warming where he was well ahead of the curve, the courageous and revolutionary approach to touching climate change.

You might say. The fundamental problem of movement of the 21st century is the faith of the and then he's been asked not for like 3040 is Queen not lived as long as she did. Charles might've had another problem. Diane but the ill starred marriage in the tragic death now seem like a long time ago. Camilla is now Queen consort title to which the Queen had given her blessing Kings beginnings even between the two sons of the matter after allegations that Prince Harry's American wife Megan experienced racism at the palace and the couple moved to California yet, there were the two princes together with their wives reading the thousands who had gathered outside Windsor Castle grandmother's death and words of reconciliation, the new King seem to have done what many hoped brought the sun together.

I want also to express my love for Harry and Megan as they continue to build lives.

See, this was definitely a cut of outreach to reassemble the family and all its complications.

Charles will be a king with a different personality and a different style, but some things will likely never change.

What about the role traffic.

We spent a little less so that perhaps the coach needs it's dressing up why from Balmoral to Buckingham, all eyes are on the royal family there crowns and palaces but as we know here in America every man's home is his castle, Senior contributor Ted Koppel has a story about homes rising from the ashes in the face of impossible lines imagination. You have to imagine something new so you have empty lots, abandon swaths of land and we were able to imagine something else. That's the Rev. David Bromley of St. Paul community Baptist Church in Brooklyn, New York and he is talking about an enterprise to spring 40 years in the making. A lot of his parishioners live in this neighborhood was a time when this community was known as the murder capital of the state of New York linger on that formal lived there. People didn't even want to drive through the neighborhood. It was that unimaginably but in the early 1980s. Community organizers dreamed up an audacious plan to build privately owned houses to be sold at working-class pressures land that nobody wanted and turned it into something highly desirable. They called the Nehemiah project got its name from an Old Testament developer. The prophet Nehemiah rebuilt the walls around the ancient city of Jerusalem: when you have a home that's what triggered the American dream. Everything changes when you have equity communities are able to build wealth families are able to build wealth.

Life changes intergenerational.

In Brooklyn, as in many parts of the country, African-American and Latino families faced rampant discrimination getting affordable financing or even where they could buy property sort of a repository of the history of this community.

Yes, I am Cheryl plowed his venerated figure at St. Paul's church holding the honorific title of Queen Mother. She's been involved with the Nehemiah project from the beginning when she was a church secretary and her family lived in what used to be called the projects.

It was like living with no hope. Cannot imagine how bad it was, well, remind you that I want you to remember Trish for the moment. Okay, still shut the lights off and the roaches appear to live with rats and mice voice that nobody neighborhood you drove through to go someplace else. Not anyplace you wanted to be Goodrich grew up in the area. To become an affordable housing developer one should be noted who was helped transform this East Brooklyn neighbor. This was landfill landfills such as trash.right, people would come here and dump that Pats, although I didn't see it. I'm sure bodies were here. Work was also buried under all that rubble and garbage was opportunity those community organizers came from local churches worked with the industrial areas foundation, the engine driving the Nehemiah project. These churches worked with local people to raise money that could be used for loans. They mobilize the community to put pressure on local politicians. Koch was the mayor thinking big open meeting they bring in 500 people. They would cheer you they would you whatever it is that to manipulate you and the pressure. All Koch sold 16 square blocks of New York City property at one dollar a lot and the city provided subsidies under a Democratic mayor sure about those folks were going to make sure that there's enough funding in the budget so that Spring Creek can begin so that he can begin on time so that it will be at the Republican mayor of New York Julia, all the while these Brooklyn churches raise millions toward the fund that help defray costs. So initially there were very few takers.

When I got though I was not excited that Matilda Dyer and immigrant from the Caribbean island of Dominica. She worked as a nurse is when Clinton worked as a welder.

They were not easily discouraged. It was totally abandoned. It didn't seem possible that you could have a thriving community of homes to the scales from Matilda Dyer, was that the project was being put together by East Brooklyn churches. I didn't know what about EBC but was churches I noticed church is God is in the center you were describing what is often referred to as the faith it is safe and after I stepped fluffed three off of my friends to purchase homes in his first Nehemiah homes cost $40,000. This was almost 40 years ago for many homeowners like the dyers, the mortgage payments were actually less, than the rent they had been paying soon those Nehemiah homes became so popular that people had to win the lottery's just for the chance of owning a home. People like Chandra and Armando Martinez was a political refugee from El Salvador. Most of them were teachers, each working two jobs to register two children whom they help put through college I went to church on a Sunday like a waste… Wingback opening the newspaper affordable houses and how long before they called yes often as you move into the house shutting. I stand as witness a dream can become a reality. It was a struggle for me only, but it was worth it. By the early 1990s, Claude worked at St. Paul's church finally could afford to buy a home of her own. How much did you pay for your room number. Yes I do with it was $120,000.

What is your home worth over $500,000. So when you pass on and you leave that to your children living in the state. Yes, I am. I don't intend to leave them a painful house. I intend to enjoy my money and my house. Message received all three of Ms. Claude and the sons own property of their own. Overall, the Nehemiah homes have created an estimated $1.5 billion in wealth for first-time black and Latino homeowners is developer Kirk good. This is the most consequential important training development effort in our country because it was done by one organization over 40+ years and they've never stop. There are Nehemiah projects in various stages of development around the country so far, they've built 6500 homes. The houses are quite literally the foundation but the owner says the Rev. Brawley. The ones who breathe life people for city workers who now own a home.

People come out of public housing teachers law enforcement officers fire department workers who now own their own home and the harder the struggle to get here greater the sense of the chief took the Martinez family seven years to get there with his children. You can be what you can't see Nehemiah for us is something for everybody to see. It is possible you like to send this building on Mike. I want to tell you about our new shout to his knees and each Weekly gastric and other quirky find inspiring and informative stories that exist because well maybe you do too. I'm trying to be quire to the right and wrong way to flasher us out getting the things that you just kinda probably not able to do in daytime television fell watch out every you got your podcast on the now streaming progress and crazy time once final point is when people in the best way to protect people final season Millstream plus, listen up. Serena also has a story about the sounds that surround us along the water's edge.

Nikki lent patiently waits for her subject to sound.

She's here in Long Island City across the water from Manhattan on fairy grass, I think people would be more likely now and I love sharing work multi-sound art exploring hitting universe. Most of us rarely experience streaming soil awaits you just carry sounds really beautiful areas typically here out what here is what Clint is able to capture subterranean microphone tree creaking and acorn following just to spend time with like this before, but it sounds like inside connection for me, come rain, sleet or snow land records. Sounds all over the Northeast still surprises and things that are unexpected microphone under@hitting the ground, really, really sound like she started visual artist, but during a trip to Alaska four years ago to paint permafrost thawing her ears perked up. Sounds are on the same time the project starts with a few microphone deep rooted curiosity planning in the water in different areas and you'll hear the sound this year :-) just chance you're just not here immediately. I have to smile all becomes much slowdown and become part of the surrounding around yourself an opportunity to sentiment Nikki lent is hoping to share next visitors to Brooklyn's Prospect Park's underground recordings taken throughout the seasons here. Other areas of New York as part of the sound walk a mile. How many stops along the route. So next time you stop to smell the roses, remember to stop and listen to are you always thinking about wonder when it sounds like under this rock sound like inside that tree completely changed when I walk around and the wind blows I see a bunch of land just so magical is this hall here right by some counts over the last 1200 years there's been more than 60 monarchs in the family of King Charles III Southtown takes a short look at their very long and colorful history. These rituals morning tie-in traditions which date back centuries will reminder his family's house plus year history you have pictures of you with the Queen around us here. I do look unique is a picture of you with the queen. You tend to have it around Hugo Vickers met the Queen around 40 times. He's one of the preeminent biographers of the royal family. This is the family tree. Yes, it's quite extraordinary. The crown policies down the line sideways in the royal family here in the UK is also connected by blood to other royal families across Europe told yes is thereof first king of England or the United Kingdom help with the great with springs to mind Alfred the great fought the Vikings and was the great great great St. 32 times. Grandfather of Queen Elizabeth II.

She's part of the House of Windsor which followed other houses including York Tudor and Stuart. What is a house within the same family. When Lee Dorsett marries the man gives his name to the house. Usually in 10+ centuries. There's plenty of family drama the war of the roses pitted factions of the family against each other and Henry VIII had six wives to divorced, to be headed. When you look back, there were a lot of assorted details but I think if you look back at lifetimes.

You might find this so that the test but when your royal family. Politics is geopolitics in the first world war. The Kaiser was a grand tour and he's on one side and George V is also the grandson of Queen of Queen Victoria on the other side the house of Windsor had the house of sexy Coburg earth. Up until World War I when King George V decided to distance his family from that German sounding name to one that was more English Windsor, named after this castle and its town Windsor Castle Hugo Vickers says runs through the fabric of British history. Much like the family of the Queen ESA with Myers is a wonderful thread of continuity with gel elected by the head of state like the one we just lost what country wouldn't have liked to have had all Queen's state as Queen.

She was credited with stabilizing and modernizing the monarchy for future sovereigns that's both an inheritance and a challenge to people is time to hand it to the next generation and countless movies and TV shows about the queen it's a lingering question why she really Ben Mankiewicz is our man in Hollywood. There's the playful princess restrained ruler in the Constitution and the Queen with a quick and fighting with my tent.

Prime Minister Mr. Blair for seven decades. Queen was the face of Great Britain, but that face betrayed little making her an ideal canvas for actresses playing here on the screen, both big and small C-section rate subject for filmmakers and television directors because God is a blank slate, waving Ella Taylor as a long-time film critic and an adjunct professor at the USC school of cinematic arts. She gave away nothing of real personality in life. I don't think any business anything about the Queen job was to follow protocol. That's an excellent bonanza because they can just go nuts with it come down to London before my grandchildren just lost him stick Dame Helen Mirren sees that blank canvas and ran off with an Oscar for letting Elizabeth and the Queen from 2006 and a Sunday morning interview in 2015, Mirren told Lee Callan inspiration wasn't real life but her own imagination. I'm just doing a portrait be portrayed on film. It's a portrait it's not understanding and when you're an artist you are in, you can't not be so. I thought that was an acceptable way to approach it met the Queen's understand that she don't make it quite quickly night when you see the Queen you just you just become a babbling idiot is not sorta saying things like, wasn't on the winning Netflix series the crown. There are three versions of Elizabeth clairvoyance. The young Royal highness Olivia Coleman who we were on set with in 2019 captures the Queen in monarchical middle-age Joe uptown girl that I'm delighted to be here inheriting the road of Queen Elizabeth from two outstanding actresses next season. Elizabeth will be played by ML to start hopefully calm connected and capable. My stomach is doing some salutes I never got to meet the Queen and I always wished I had that experience. John Lythgoe won an Emmy for the crown playing Winston Churchill opposite Claire for mashed Claire for his wonderful actress.

She brought you she brought this wonderful new list trepidation I sent The scenes between Claire and me were gradually seeing her search for authority over him. I would ask you to conceal response in the respect that my rank in my office just looks at which my agent agenda might suggest. So it became a very particular kind of family drama and maybe it's accurate. I didn't mean to grapple. It will be happy all the time so many good actresses have played Elizabeth Emma Thompson Kristin Scott Thomas extort this case, Sarah Gatton romantic comedy royal night out unique in the Queen's been fodder for comedy to Simpsons trouble Saturday night live just got Shylock -type cleaning and I and multiple times by British and Christian actual note in the naked gun as he came across a toss out the first ball and the commentator says wartime Oscar-nominated Jane Alexander Lynn Elizabeth and the Hallmark TV movie. I have been a lifelong devotee of Elizabeth from the time she was a princess in World War II.

Alexander's father was a doctor serving in London during the blitz and later in France after the invasion of Normandy teenaged Elizabeth she says inspired young people in Britain and America to support the war effort.

My mom and say come change.

The princesses are on and you just talking to my hair and they were talking about the war effort and what we could do as children and it really inspired those of us in that household.

It's very, just as I spoke to Jane on Thursday. Producer Gabe falcon interrupted with news that it was official. The Queen had died that he reacted that she is best right in the middle of our conversation. I'm sorry. No sign. I the end of any credible person for me for all of us for so many followed her over like she just meant a lot to me in terms of who you could be if you set out to be just because people are privileged, though Elizabeth is gone. These performances live on is no possibility of my giving you the question is how one can forgive yourself and that is John Lythgoe will only cement her legacy. I think that's the magic whether it was an extreme version of shyness or just the wisdom and self-knowledge of knowing this is my role and it's a very old role. We just cannot know her, but we really miss her. 70 years is a long time. Even so, there are moments morocco tells us that can't be forgotten.

He's talking with all 13 Brown wonderfully dry and ironic sense of payment as dry as a James Bond martini since CBS News contributor and author of the palace papers around the opening ceremony the 2012 of my pics in London.

Her Majesty stole the show opposite Daniel Craig's 007 when they saw the Queen seen descending from harsh Stadium Prince William and Harry will hectic shout and I think you wrote that. She actually said I think I should have a line that's exactly right. This thoroughly enjoyed Thespian moments always acting the part never the Queen came from tradition espoused by her grandmother, Queen Mary said we are the royal family. We never taught hospitals such a great smiling through maximum discomfort is their most priceless skill set to write the Queen trained how she was feeling at any point did not betray irritation actually enjoyment ready to face was a strategic device essentially wondering for someone who never gave an interview never really expressed a political opinion.

Why do so many of us feel close to her, the Queen's mistake was ready created by the fact that we never knew what she thought about anything that had reassuring presence at every moment of our lives in expressions of national joy. Expressions of national anxiety. She has been sent off the nation only recognizable from encouraging thing in a very very tough and well I'm speaking to you what I know is an increasingly challenging time. It's difficult to imagine anyone else addressing a global audience as she didn't April 2020 with the same bedside manner. We are talking this disease and I want to reassure you that if we remain united and resolute, then we would have a comment she felt that it was how well the comforter in chief lay tremendous anxiety that people in the darkest days of the pandemic dress that she made from when the cost of moving because she ended it by saying we will meet again which event World War II. We will be with friends again. We will be with our families again. We will meet again and people work so you know it's interesting that she could evoke history and never sound frosty about right because the Queen was history. She had a personal recollection of every single meaningful figure of the 20th, 21st century. So this was in history.

This was just personal recollection while she seemed unflappable to the public at home. Her concerns can be refreshingly relatable to a woman who had been girlfriend Prince Charles. He was at Windsor Castle. One weekend the Queen apparently was extremely fast about being overcharged on how heating and this was a person who still walks for the castle at night turning off the lights and had been left on. She was never to return 11 slices back on the T train if they hadn't been used for. Callie came from Queens forgot he was part of the second world war two and its rationing. She is very very when it came to spending lots sent a five euro pair of trousers to be tainted still use that came to matters of state. She almost always got it right.

In 2011, she became the first British monarch to visit Ireland since the country's independence from Great Britain. He was going that show the contrary of the town became iconic was at the state banquet when she spoke of the need for reconciliation and said we must bow to the past, but not defined by wasn't a formal apology apologies she does regret we can all see things which we would wish been done differently, the Prime Minister time sent every one of how well-chosen words wound history to use a modern expression.

She might not have Elizabeth II understood the assignment remark perspective. She took along the very young girl has serious mindedness by everybody.

He was incredibly lucky that she had thrown because temperamentally she actually was inching with the job at hand.

They were a constant throughout the lifetime of Queen Elizabeth II, Martha Tyson, or takes a closer look at her many four-legged friends use 900 part of the opening ceremonies for the 2012 007 is stay Buckingham Palace and the agents had. Corey was named Yuki Michael Joseph Gross is a contributing editor at Vanity Fair and is writing a book about the Queen and her corgis was there a consistent pattern of Courtney PR Courtney diplomacy: less a consistent pattern than a regular through line in 1936 when Princess Elizabeth was 10 and Princess Margaret, six. This book came out a publicity triumph meant to soften a PR disaster for the royal family.

The abdication of King Edward VIII to marry American divorce Wallis Simpson think it's important when we talk about the dogs as publicity never to forget that at the same time that they were very consciously being used as props. It doesn't discount the fact that these were very real and very deep relationships. What did the public see they got to see her humanity. They got to see her heart without her opening herself up her dog. Susan was in 18th birthday presents 14 generations of the Queens corgis were bred from her. Susan went along with her on her honeymoon really truly that's right that's right. When she and Philip rode in the carriage to the train station to go up for the honeymoon and the newspaper reporters of the time said that she stole the show. The Queen more than 30 Pembroke Welsh corgis over her lifetime, plus a number of dorky corgis crossed with dachshunds. She was known to breeder dogs in bad times. When she needed puppies to cheer her up. Her horses were all about good times journalist Muscat has written extensive Queens is inextricably linked with the royal household has been for centuries. The Queen is generally knowledge to be the most knowledgeable response.

She was practically born on a horse for decades. She marked many ceremonial occasions on horseback breeding and racing operation is no passive hobby. It was a multimillion dollar business she paid for out of her own. Her last winter two days before she died a horse named love affairs.

How many winners do you think she may have had more while you so whenever she went racing to watch the horses run the joy she took from that experience to behold a pleasure to shield herself to show launch system will thousand 13 case, what was one with his been lost during the rain, the Queen met with every setting precedent, but Lyndon Johnson Rita Braverman talks with one of those presidents was never forgotten. The experience was not a smart person she knew what she was doing and she believed that the life she had devoted to preserving the British monarchy was not a waste of life. Pres. Bill Clinton White Eisenhower to see and be seen with Queen Elizabeth to American presidents. Time after time without time to do to meet with someone who really didn't have any actual power. The first time because it's a show respect to the country you do it the second or third time as I did because she wants to do it and invite you or because you got something and I gained a much keener insight into the whole culture of the country and told us that during the very first meeting in 1994 British ceremony marking the first he was asked by his curiosity. What she wanted policies about what was going on in America how are you doing with the economic travails we been through for the last few years she had been born and royalty affliction motivated on her own as a distinguished politician or diplomat are about to meet with client holistic instructions. Yes, you are supposed to say to register the no matter what and you're not supposed to have physical contact will know nonetheless invited if she sticks her hand out over the years there were some amusing moments when Pres. danced with a clean Marine band just happened to play lady. She certainly knew how to get a laugh out of Ronald Reagan Pres. George W. Bush almost the Queen by 200 years you help your nation celebrate its bicentennial and 17th 1976 the next day she came right back saying, but while there presidents came and went Queen into word.
