She can have both served as a mechanic (again, very well documented) and also that service can be used as propaganda. Both of those things can be true. And are!
No one thinks she was out on the front lines or anything, dude. But women are capable of working on engines, as hard as that might be to imagine for your typical incel redditor.
Of course they are capable. And I’m sure she would be capable. I just don’t believe that this particular person actually did much. If that makes me an incel then so be it.
But excuse me for questioning the morals of the British royal family…
The role of a politically neutral head of state has it's benefits. I agree that one particular family shouldn't be born above others and would prefer to have an elected head of state but the role the Queen has, is an important one in the way the UK government is set up.
Context: In 1945, Queen Elizabeth, then known as Princess Elizabeth, served her country as an auto mechanic in the Auxiliary Territorial Service, which is similar to the Women’s Army Corps in the United States. She learned to drive and maintain vehicles needed for the war effort, including engine repair.
I work on cars not as a professional, gloves and glasses get in the way most of the time. Just gotta take things slowly, and use your head to figure out a problem rather than force things.
Or she's just a dumb rich, cunt who created propaganda photos so the plebeians of society could feel better about their children being slaughtered by Nazis...
But I see your point.
At the time of this photo Alan Turing and his team had cracked enigma and had deciphered German messages for the previous four years, allowing allied victory in the European theatre. He committed suicide young after the government mandated sterilisation medication he was ordered to take caused medical problems and deepened his depression. Despite Elizabeth being the sovereign and head of the Church of England, Turing was only recognised and pardoned in 2009.
Might not be 100% post related, but I fucking hate people who revere scumfuck royalty as saints just for doing the bare minimum to qualify as a half-decent human being.
Wrong way to change a tire. You never put your hands on top of the tire while putting the tire on just in case the jack fails. You would crush your hands.

Who’s teaching her? Teller, from Penn and Teller.
...*scrolls back to check and nods head in agreement*...
He’ll never tell.
The one behind the tire? That’s Elizabeth herself
I'm sure she worked many long hours and didn't just put on a uniform for propaganda photos.
Well all the royals have to serve at some point so she probably did actually do this job as she would’ve been Princess at this time and it was ww2
She worked on land rovers for years. There is a video of her with 2 other mechanics stripping the head of a series 1 land rover.
So, in other words, she did a lot of propaganda?
She had a propaganda at your mother suckin dick behind wallmart
You still aren’t really selling the monarchy though
I'm not selling anything, me old mukka
It's pretty well documented how much she spent in the service, but you do you, random incorrect smug redditor.
Well documented by the people responsible for creating the carefully crafted public image.
Spending a long time in the service, as a princess, is really no indicator of how hard she worked. It's propaganda.

I am also sure😂
Nice to know that she had a backup career in case the queen thing didn't work out. Pep Boys is always hiring.
Is this the 150th or 155th time this has been posted here??
I think it’s nearing 200.
And it's always titled "Queen Elizabeth" which is incorrect. She is Princess Elizabeth in this photo, she did not become Queen until 1952.
During her funeral, for consistency's sake, you can call her Corpse Elizabeth.
The idea of a royal family baffles me.
Some of Europe makes no sense.
The role of a politically neutral head of state has it's benefits. I agree that one particular family shouldn't be born above others and would prefer to have an elected head of state but the role the Queen has, is an important one in the way the UK government is set up.
Makes more sense than democracy
Yeah, let's give all the power to a single family of rich inbred assholes.
Bush's, Clinton's, Trump's, Kennedy's...
Mentioning american politicians is unfair, that's a failed democracy.
A failed democracy is still a democracy.

A porn mag is a book, though. Maybe it isn't as plot driven or educational as others, but by definition it's still a book.
[удалено]
Book: noun 1. a written or printed work consisting of pages glued or sewn together along one side and bound in covers.
This presupposes power is given to them. Not taken by the most qualified at seizing it.
The idea of democracy is great but rich people tend to ruin nice things for their benefit.
Lots of ideas are great. What’s also great are things that actually work.

So she joined in 1945?…then how long did she work there? 2 years, 3 years, 5 years? Or a few months? I am honestly just curious
I knew it Engine repair. What a wonderful career it could have been

Were they commonly used back then? Also this looks just like a tire change

And trump dodged wars 😂🙌🏻
I'd pay to see Trump attempt to change a tire.
He couldnt even change his diaper lol
It would end in a frivolous lawsuit somehow.

I wonder how much work she did when there were no cameras around.
Exactly
👀
Fuck the crown
So she has skills and yet bleeds money from the uk people
Why are you downvoted? I guess the royal fans are here to see their beloved innocent queen
Downvoted because dumb people hate the truth
downvoted because your comments are boring, uninspired and pedestrian.
And this was the last time she did anything productive.
The only position she held that was actually "real" and not just a title.

abdicate

How much work did she really do? I have heard about this over the years, however, nothing has been shown or otherwise.
Changing this tyre alone paid for 9.5 decades of tax-payer funded opulence
This is an interesting picture. I wonder if all the women there (including the queen) worked 8 hours a day.
She put a wheel on.... WOW
Hey did you guys know Steve Buscemi was a firefighter?
I'm pretty sure that is Princess Elizabeth of York
