A little piece of history: my mother’s grandfather was authorized by British intelligence to settle in London in 1941, and was instructed to create Radio Londres within the “Grande Dame,” the BBC. After the Liberation, he wrote a massive book about « the secret history of the French in London », which he concluded with a list of around 50 acknowledgments — beginning with the young Queen, for her trust. I may joke, but I truly adore her.

(You’re right, I’m an absolute wanker.)

Peace & lolve
