Answer 1 refers, I think to Queen Victoria, and answer 3 to the present Queen, Elizabeth II. so should be ignored. I can add nothing to answer 2 which is comprehensive.

Since years ago I've been impressed by her speech at Tilbery on the 9th of August, 1588 to the soldiers preparing to fight the Spanish Armada, let me quote some parts for you:
'My loving people,
'We have been persuated that some that are careful of our safety, to take heed how we commit ourselves to armed multitudes, for fear of treachery: but I assure you, I do not desire to live in distrust of my faithful and loving people. Let tyrants fear. ...I know I have but the body of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a King, and of a King of England too, and think it foul scorn that Parma or Spain or any Prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realm; to which, rather than any dishonour should grow by me, I myself will take up arms, I myself will be General, Judge, and Rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field.
