Where They Were During The War
Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret were stranded in Windsor Castle for the duration of the war. Aside from it, their parents were frequent visitors to London’s Buckingham Palace. According to the Royal Collection Trust, the latter was bombarded at least nine times during the war. In an Evening Standard article, the Queen Mother was reported as having said, “I’m glad we’ve been bombed. It makes me feel I can look the east end in the face.” At the time, she had been referring to the German attacks on eastern London during the Blitz.

As An Act Of Solidarity
The royal family’s demonstrations of solidarity were well received by the public at the time. They appreciated the fact that Princess Elizabeth joined the ATS when she was 18 years old, among other things. This was a female-only division of the British Army. She is still the only female member of the British royal family to have served in the military.
