Ref to the British monarchy didn't leave London just because
the bombs were falling
The then Queen Mum (Queen Mary) was sent / went to Badminton House for the duration when the bombs started to fall ISTR.

I think a fair few US citizens would take William or Harry over him as well.

I am not saying they all stayed in London all of the time,
I know some of the ladies went to ? Balmoral ? but as a
whole, they stayed in London at Buck Palace.

And I think King George was in the room next to where
one of the bombs hit the Palace.

But he and his wife would not under any circumstances
"bug out" for safety reasons on a long term basis.

And as the Queen Mum (then Queen Elizabeth) famously said after BP had been bombed:

"It makes me feel we can look the East End in the face."

That always makes me chuckle. Remind me why your White House is white?

Is that the same Constitution and Democracy that let you chaps cling on to slavery for so long?
