HM the Queen Mother is VERY highly regarded in Scotland, her Father was the Earl of Strathmore, she along with her husband king George VI refused to leave Buckingham palace during the blitz and the palace was bombed several times, they would visit bombed out areas sometimes on a daily basis. Princess Elizabeth (now the queen) did military service during the war (she was a car mechanic). The king had a bad speech impedment and stammer due to being made to use his right hand for writing despite being left handed. Whilst the current generation of the royals dont exacly set the world alight with carisma, the previous generation were an inspiration to many during the war years. Prince Charles of course is Britains highest profile kilt wearer ( aside from "Archie the inventor")
