  CNN - Second hip replacement operation for Britain's Queen Mother - January 27, 1998
Buckingham Palace said the Queen Mother, who is the mother of reigning monarch Queen Elizabeth, had "passed a comfortable night." News of her latest accident dominated British media on Monday.
The Queen Mother was admitted to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn near Sandringham and then transferred to the King Edward VII Hospital in London, a royal family spokesman said on customary condition of anonymity.
The "Queen Mum," ninth of 10 children of the 14th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, was born in London Aug. 4, 1900, and grew up at the family homes, St. Paul's Walden Bury in Hertfordshire, England, and Glamis Castle, Scotland.

 Queen Elizabeth II Leaves Hospital After Knee Operation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Buckingham Palace has said the queen is expected to be "fully active again within a few weeks" of the operation to remove torn cartilage from her right knee.
Although the queen was placed under a general anesthetic during the 45-minute operation, a temporary acting regent was not appointed to replace her during the procedure, the palace said.
Queen Elizabeth II, who recently led ceremonies to celebrate her 50 years on the throne, has been hospitalized for two previous ailments: in 1994 when she broke an arm and in 1982 when she had a wisdom tooth removed.

The Queen’s first scheduled official engagement is on 29 January, when she is due to be presented with commemorative Jubilee Gates by members of the armed forces, at Sandringham House.

The Queen, who has enjoyed robust health for most of her life, hurt her right knee and had to use a walking stick after stumbling when she walked over uneven ground in December.
After today’s operation, she was expected to rest for two weeks at her Sandringham country estate and “will then resume a limited programme of engagements until she has made a full recovery,” the Buckingham Palace statement added.
The Queen had a gruelling 2002 with the loss of two close relatives and near-constant tours round the nation for the Jubilee celebrations of her half century on the throne.

 CNN.com - Jordan's queen condemns Israeli military operation - April 16, 2002
The queen believes Israel should heed President Bush's call to withdraw from the West Bank, and that United Nations aid workers should be allowed into the war-torn areas to help people.
Concerned about conditions in the West Bank, Queen Rania recently led a march for Palestinian rights which she said was "an appeal to the international community to try to get Israel to apply the international humanitarian laws and human rights laws." The queen, herself, is Palestinian, as is about half of Jordan's population.
As for finding peace in the region, Queen Rania said she wants the involvement of the international community, but she specifically urged the United States to become a fully involved third party in the peace process because Washington has leverage with Israel.

It was on 3 December, 2000, at about I 800hrs, that the MV Southern Queen, while berthed at jetty no. 1 of Chittagong Port, Bangladesh, caught fire in her cargo hold after discharging 300t of imported cargo (Copra).
As this particular type of salvage operation was believed to be unique, no chances were taken in ascertaining the difficulties that could be faced during the course of the project.
These barges, which had not previously been used for salvage operations, were specially strengthened by the contractors for this task, including the installation of 127mm (5m), 1.83m (6ft) long steel shafts aligned with the bollards to distribute the load over the decks of the pontoons.

Yesterday, as the Queen emerged from hospital following an operation to remove benign skin growths from her face and torn cartilage from her knee, royal watchers were pondering why the monarch allowed such an image to appear.
The Queen underwent a similar operation on her right knee in January, after which it was decided to perform the same surgery on the other knee at a later date.
She’s exactly like the Queen Mother in that way: her tendency is always to play everything down and I don’t think she’s doing anything for PR purposes.

But in the present case there is nothing at all to suggest that the Crown's interest in the proper operation of its airfields is not what it may naturally be presumed to be or that it was exaggerating the perils of interference with their effectiveness.
But it has never been suggested, and it is not the law, that such an expression of approval operates as law, or that in law it precludes the assenting Parliament, or any subsequent Parliament, from refusing to give its sanction to any legislative proposals that may subsequently be brought before it.
It is not, however, called into operation here since the facts alleged in the statement of claim, even if they could be shown to be true, could not in my opinion constitute a violation of s.

The Queen is expected to leave hospital some time during the weekend, and she should be fully active again within a few weeks.
The decision on the timing of the operation was made to minimise the impact on The Queen's commitments, and to enable her to continue her recovery at Sandringham over the Christmas and New Year period.
However, as a consequence of this operation, The Queen's attendance at two public engagements has been cancelled and her hosts have been informed - a Carol Concert hosted by the WRVS on Thursday in London, and the rededication ceremony of HMS INVINCIBLE on Friday in Portsmouth.

 Queen & Country Vol 1: Operation Broken Ground
Mirroring the show exactly, Queen and Country is as bureaucratic as it is spy and action… well, actually, more so.
The story, in its base form, begins with an assassination, turns ninety degrees into retaliation, takes another one-eighty right in retribution, another ninety degrees in a brilliantly dour 'Sandbaggers' style ending… paving the whole circle with bureaucracy and red tape and government insider hassle too frustrating to not be true.
Upon reflection, Queen and Country, despite myself, acts as a 90's update/continuation and homage to a series too short lived (20 episodes over 3 seasons).

Getting to the Queen Charlottes requires either a six to seven hour ferry trip or a 45 minute flight from Prince Rupert, or a two hour flight from Vancouver which is 770 km to the south.
The eastside of the Queen Charlottes receives moderate annual rainfall, amounts that are similar to Vancouver, due to the rain shadow created by the mountains on the west side of the Islands.

We called it "Queen's" Palace because we consider the Queen of Heaven as a chief principality commissioned by Satan to keep unbelievers in spiritual darkness, and we have identified ancient Ephesus as one of her principal power centers where she formerly manifested in the person of Diana.
Some feel that she, another disguise of the Queen of Heaven, should become the recognized deity of the human race.
