3. She was still a Princess durind the Second World War.

At the age of 19, Princess Elizabeth joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS). After joining, she trained as a driver and mechanic with the rank of Second Subaltern. Five months later she was promoted to Junior Commander, which was the equivalent of Captain. Her younger sister Princess Margaret was a Girl Guide and later joined the Sea Rangers.

She didn't shirk her duties and did well, although I suspect her title helped her promotions

4. Yes, she was Princess during WWII

She was amazing in that she lived duty every day of her life. She was a consistent force in a world that grew ever more complicated throughout her life. We could use many more with the sense of duty that she lived.
