And...

"In 1939 the late Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother publicly refused to leave London or send her two daughters to Canada, even during the Blitz contrary to the advice from the Cabinet.

She said at the time: "The children won't go without me. I won't leave the King. And the King will never leave." "

BUT what was happening in Windsor Castle?

"On the outbreak of World War II in 1939 the castle resumed its role as a royal fortress, and the King and Queen and their children Princess Elizabeth (the future Queen Elizabeth II) and Princess Margaret lived, for safety, in the castle. "
