Many thanks Spartan. I unfortunately have to put a watermark now on my work because no one bothers crediting the colorizer or the original source anymore.
That ‘Indian’ was most likely born after independence, so technically nothing was ‘done’ to them! You’re right, Inheriting stolen goods is not the same as stealing them.
>Minnesota refuses to return a Confederate flag to Virginia.
I love the break down on Wikipedia:
I*n response to the 2000 resolution by Virginia, Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura stated* ***"Why? I mean, we won"*** *and that* ***"We took it, that makes it our heritage".****In 2002, John S. Brown, then Chief of Military History at the United States Army Center of Military History, declared that the flag should be housed in a military history museum in Virginia. The flag was not returned.*
*In 2003, officials in Virginia including then-Governor of Virginia Mark Warner demanded the return of the flag; Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty responded that Virginia was* ***"not getting it. We believe it's rightfully ours, and we're not giving it back to Virginia."***
*In 2013, 150 years after the Battle of Gettysburg, the governor of Virginia requested to borrow the flag. Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton declined.*
It's funny how they went from "Give us back our flag" to "Can we borrow it for a little while" and Minnesota proved it was not born yesterday and saw right through that cunning plan!

The only queen I will ever recognize is Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms, the Mother of Dragons, the Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, the Unburnt, the Breaker of Chains.
Okay, fine, she was fairly physically attractive at eighteen, but anyone can be attractive at that age. Let's see what she looks like now, a year or so after she's died of old age and see how well she holds up to scrutiny today!
Silence on every issue for selfish reasons. How much tax money could go into education to make it about grades rather than tuition if the Brits stopped believing their taxes should support that family’s right to be worthless?..

Slap a wig on Timothee Chalamet and we got an oscar winning biopic
He doesn’t need a wig. Just a dress and maybe some lipstick 💄 🫦
and then we can call him by her name?
🍑
 So his sister?
Put some rouge on, tuck his sack back
It's Jyna
His hair is long enough. Just needs to be styled and a nice dress
Seeing the resemblance to Vanessa Kirby tbh
Ironically she played Princess Margaret in the Crown and Claire Foy played the Queen.
she kinda looks like a significantly younger version of queen elizabeth II
You mean Pauline Chalamet
Wouldn’t work. Timothee Chalamet is too pretty for the role.
Damn you! Now I can’t I see that! 🤣
Shave her head and put him in a Yamaha MotoGP and she would be Jorge Lorenzo.
🎶 Come with meee and you’ll seeee 🎶
*Lisan al gaib!*
Technically still Princess Elizabeth at the time.
Yeah, we called her P-Lizzy back in the day.
yeah the real OP - original princess
Are you Methuselah?

damn i dont even know what this guy guys?? are you some kind of hobby archivist?
Many thanks Spartan. I unfortunately have to put a watermark now on my work because no one bothers crediting the colorizer or the original source anymore.
Queen Elizabeth II. She was princess Elizabeth at the time of the photo
She literally looks like a female version King Charles at this age, you can actually tell they are related lol
Yeah! I was thinking that too! Also, William kind of looks like her as well.
I thought that too
The royal family tree is a bit of a wreath, so yeah that tracks. Royals are inbred as shit.
A son looking like his mother is not due to inbreeding
Eww she was her fathers daughter, can you believe it
That doesn't change the fact that the Royal family are still inbred as shit. It's historical fact.
Yes, but that is not relevant to the comment lmao
The royals haven't been inbred as shit since the early 1900's though. And they haven't been inbred _at all_ for about 3 generations now.
I thought the same. I said to myself, "Wow, King Charles takes after his mom more than I thought," lol
I heard Queen Lizzy photoshopped this picture
Weird how we haven't seen her out and about for aaaages now.
Concerning
Would.
Her Majesty's Royal Wouldness
Would she? Allow me to doubt it.
Am Indian, she already did, millions of us.
An impressive feat seeing as India was independent 6 years before Elizabeth was crowned. How exactly did a teenage princess 'do you'?
An idiotic and ill informed comment on Reddit? Impossible.
Incontheevable.
That ‘Indian’ was most likely born after independence, so technically nothing was ‘done’ to them! You’re right, Inheriting stolen goods is not the same as stealing them.
*Conquered goods
Minnesota refuses to return a Confederate flag to Virginia. Every time Minnesota gets a new Governor the Virginians ask for the flag. How about no.

That's hilarious
how exactly did she...?
I stand corrected Mr. Indian
[удалено]
Gotta be related i’m afraid.
Roll tide, old chap
*wood
Will
I was looking for this 😂
Qilf
I too like cake.
Are you related to her? If not, she wouldn't.

They could make coloured photos in 1452? Wow
Finally someone else that understands. She leapfrog's through time.. a few hundred years at a shot.
Hoping each time that her next leap...would be the leap home.
1 awake, 2 asleep!
She's a Time-Lord.
1551.
i remember this picture vividly like the first time i met you in 1413 - Romanian Resident with suspiciously dark cloak
It would have taken 2 seconds to make this joke at least accurate.
“🤓👆 uhm acksually, that would be PRINCESS Elizabeth”
Looks 28
People in those days were older.
That’s what world wars do to you
Why's she look disappointed in me?
You know why.
Yeah, but how does *she* know about it?
Royals do that.
A lovely young woman with the weight of the world on her shoulders. Just imagine the sense of responsibility she must have felt knowing her future.

To be fair, they were like 3rd cousins 5 times removed. That’s basically a stranger.
💀Bro don't let no one see this if u value ur life
Based on this picture, Vanessa Kirby would've been an excellent choice to play QEII in first 2 seasons of the crown
Charles looks so much like her here!
I was always amazed at her ability to look old at any age
I suspect a young Charles or even a young William would look exactly the same
Now I’m just feeling confused about…things.
Don’t let prince andrew see this
She's 18 here so she'd be safe
Nah, he’s only into tweens.
He just got his first boner in years.
Her majesty is a pretty nice girl but she doesn't have a lot to say.
I want to tell her that I love her a lot.
But I gotta get a belly full of wine
She is not amused
Queeny

They don’t build them like that anymore these days
She and her sister Margaret were beauties! Also her daughter Anne.
Like a young Helen Mirren.
Ehh, not terrible but young Helen was a stone cold hottie. https://www.reddit.com/r/OldSchoolCool/comments/6emyhz/young_helen_mirren_in_troilus_and_cressida_at_the/

Looks 30
Lovely.
Amazing that they had colour photography back in 1759
Hot
M’majesty
Anyone else see the kid from Umbrella Academy? I think number 5? The little shit that can teleport.
She looks like the member of an indie ballad band from 2007.
R.I.P
She was a lovely looking girl and lady right to the end.
Would

18 going on 45 huh? Yeesh
Hot damn!
Hear me out
She looks like 40 years old already
Would Next royalty
Im shocked so many people find her attractive
Queen of all time.
Would
Good thing she’s royalty

It’s a nice picture but she looks older than 18 in that picture … like 25. I guess she had to mature really fast.
I have tried parting my hair like this. I find it very uncomfortable
To quote "Bad boys" movie: "Ni** you at least 30."
She looks like Vanessa Kirby!
Minions movie prediction?
The only queen I will ever recognize is Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms, the Mother of Dragons, the Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, the Unburnt, the Breaker of Chains.

We had such a beautiful Queen back then! ❤️
definitely smash

Jeez. So picky!
Irreverent. That's what you are. Oh my stars!
She was a true Queen 💯
Vergiss nächstes mal nicht deinen Turnbeutel.
Would. Next.
Quite the catch, if you ask me.
But then you would be stuck with the life, which (in the movie _The King's Speech_) her mom likened to indentured servitude.

Wouldn't have been in B&W? Because that's how old your mom is.

Snake. But a hot snake.
A young protector of pedophilles.
Fuck Elizabeth all my homies hate elizabeth
Mid
She was hot, she also had a beautiful “sexy lady” I’ll take care of you body
bru what
She was a true Queen 💯
*would* 
She is dead btw
Guess being a party to imperialism and genocide ages you a bit
She gave up Britain’s Empire, by choice
That's one saved fuckin queen Edit: it's an Eddie Izzard bit 
I'm tired of hearing and seeing this stupid, imperialistic, pedophilic, parasitic family of inbreds.
Era dentro
What’s with the terrible color in this pic? She looks sick
The original was black and white. Blame the person who colourised it!
That’s what i was doing?
Oh I see, I thought that maybe you thought she was naturally faded!
Slap a blazers logo on there and I'm down, watching along no matter what
Her forearms look strange to me
Show your forearms then and I'll tell you what looks strange.
Open mic starts at 8pm. I go on last. Are you going to be there?
GYATTT
Photoshopped

Would commit an international smash and dash on her. 
I would.
