Queen Elizabeth - Female Of The Day

If you didn't know by now, Queen Elizabeth II is visiting New York and had address the UN Council today. It's been a long time since she's been over here in the US, and even longer since she has spoken to the Council.

Now what am I thinking about with choosing her for my female of the day? Especially considering most of today's post subject?

For an 80+ year old lady, she's a highly respected figure in the world and beloved by most of her people. To be queen of a once former mighty empire isn't something that was easy. Although the British Empire has declined significantly, she is still queen of the Commonwealth of Nations which includes nations like Canada, New Zealand and Australia to name the bigger countries.

I'm not sure how royalty works, but her husband Prince Philip, is just a prince? But she's a queen? So if she's the reigning queen, wouldn't that make him a king? Again, I'm not sure how that all works, but you can imagine when they get into an argument, she probably bitchslaps him down and pulls her royalty card on him, "Who's the Queen? Who's the Queen? And you are? Just a prince!"
