[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So a skinny, history major who take average to good photos. Impressive resume for a future queen. [/quote]

Better that the late Queen's resume.  Homeschooled, no degree.  Brief stint as a jeep mechanic during WWII.  Poor public speaker; very little natural charm or charisma. If she had any passions or hobbies beyond corgis and horses, we never learned of them.

DP:  Although the Queen certainly should have been better prepared, she ended up with a job that she didn’t plan to apply for.  We’re also looking at societal change over almost a century— when things changed significantly for white women, including aristocratic white women in England.  If you’re going to pick at the Queen’s resume, compare it with those of other white British women born in the 1920’s — when university level educations were quite rare, as were careers in general.

As to her passions, even if you just look at her interest in horses, I’d argue that riding, breeding and racing — with international interests,  is a deep dive that counts more than, say, adding needlepoint and badminton to the mix.  Riding sidesaddle surely adds a few points.  I’d guess, too, that the Queen likely had interests that were not publicly known.
