Queen Mother,King George almost got killed in WW II

Britain’s Queen Elizabeth I and her husband King George VI almost got killed in a German aerial raid during World War II,revealed a letter by the Queen Mother,hours after the incident.

The Sunday Times reported that in the letter to mother-in-law Queen Mary,the late Queen Mother wrote about the “unmistakable whirr-whirr of a German plane” which frightened the couple before it carried a bombing attack on her “dear old BP” (Buckingham Palace). “We heard the unmistakable whirr-whirr of a German plane. We said ‘ah,a German’,and before anything else could be said,there was the noise of aircraft and then the scream of a bomb.

“It all happened so quickly that we had only time to look foolishly at each other,when the scream hurtled past us,and exploded with a tremendous crash in the quadrangle. My knees trembled a little bit for a minute or two after the explosions! But we both feel quite well today,” the Queen Mother wrote to Queen Mary,hours after the bombing raid on September 13,1940.
