British history with her ancestors?

Yes I do! She came to the throne when I was a little girl and has stood by her vows to her God, the church and her husband!
She has made huge sacrifices in her personal life to be able to fulfil her role to her country and its people!
People continually complain about the cost of the monarchy, but she brings in huge revenues from abroad through tourism!
Visitors do NOT come to see our politicians - no matter how much they (or their wives/partners) may delude themselves!
She is a woman of great compassion and a good heart - who through the very role she was given (not born into I might add, like her son), has had to set herself apart to be able to fulfil it. She has done so without giving in to the excesses, etc, that so many popstars, politicians, rich and (not so rich) famous people bleat about because of the 'pressures' of their jobs and lives!
She has quietly and conscientiously got on with her duties, with dignity and integrity and is an example of all that is best of the British character!
She's worth more than all the famous people who have come and gone in the years of her reign - and I hope that she will continue to do so for many years to come! I certainly wouldn't want to see her spineless, and pathetic son take her place - some one whose word cannot be taken seriously! After all he was happy to lie to God, his Queen and country and the world when he said his marriage vows in Westminster abbey to Diana!

I'm not sure if I'm 'proud', but I do admire the Queen, and think she is a hard working and intelligent person who has fulfilled a difficult role with dignity.
Being Australian, the history of britain is of interest to me as part of my heritage is from over that way ;-), and the Queen is also Queen of Australia.
She makes a much finer figurehead for our country than some grasping politician in a boring grey suit, and I believe that having an apolitical figure who can speak on equal and better terms with any leader on the planet is a real asset to our country.
I also value the common bond we share with the Commonwealth and former Commonwealth nations, although as another answerer said the British Empire was not all good (and which empire was?).
Cheers :-)

i won't be certain WHY some questions consult with older human beings as some form of freaks. we are in a position to do the comparable issues we did all our existence, purely a splash slower. I even have not seen any data of abuse or being dealt with in a distinctive way. have confidence me, maximum seniors do no longer take abuse of any form from all of us. all of us experience an element to society. There must be a reason you consult with the places you do on your question. i think of they might instruct us the respect we've earned via giving us loose utilities & a verify from the economic company each month.

I feel offended at the queen and all her kin and how those fricking germans have been usurping the throne of my ancestors for 3 centuries.
and yes, I'm a Stuart desendant, though not from any lines that would normally have any claims to the throne, as I'm issued from a younger son of James III.
BTW, it's nice you say "british", because the hanovers have a pretty thin link to the Stuarts, and the Scots had a pretty thin link to the english throne themselves...
Down with the sassenach says I.

A two part question requiring two separate answers.
Yes I am proud of the Queen but I am not so sure regarding ALL of her ancestors.
Come to think of it we all know so little of ALL of our own ancestors so we can't be sure that we can be proud of ALL of them either.

You go sexy shemale_tempe! My sentiments exactly. I'll take the job if it's too rough on her!
And the thousands of years of her ancestors are littered with the blood, sweat, and tears of all those that were persecuted by the crown all around this world, not just in England. Probably more blood on the hands of that Monarcy than any other in history.
