One of a pair of hand-built 1939 McLaughlin Buick convertible sedans that carried King George VI and Queen Elizabeth on their visit to Canada to build support for the war effort. The Royal Maroon cars, complete with the Royal standard and King’s shield, were rail shipped to various cities from Ottawa to Vancouver to carry the Royal couple.

If King George VI is still living then Elizabeth is not yet the Queen. She will not be Queen until the death of her father. In this picture, she would be Princess Elizabeth.

In the photo is Queen Elizabeth, George VI's wife, Princess Elizabeth's mother. She was the Queen until he died and then became the Queen Mother.

If that is his wife with him, then she is the Queen Consort, the wife of a reigning King. She has no reigning power. Only a Queen has reigning power. Big difference. Their older daughter, Elizabeth, became Queen upon the death of her father.

Honey,

Sweetie, 

Dear, would you please check the TOUR DIRECTIONS one more time?

 

I'd prefer that you not get the trophy for "Most Lost Navigator" again !

 

And when we got to that tricky intersection,

yelling "Turn Right Here ! - Left !"  ---

No, I wasn't really mad at you (mutter, mutter, mutter)...
