Churchill

In retrospect, Churchill brought a clarity to young Queen Elizabeth that she so desperately needed after the untimely death of her father. While he had to have known he had far too long held office as Prime Minister of the U.K., possibly he held out to ensure the stability of Queen Elizabeth II. Did you know he was involved in politics for 50 years? (Who would not become pompous and asinine after that length of time in dealing with deep layers of politics?) Did you know his mother, Jennie Jerome, was American? Churchill is one of only eight who have been made an honorary citizen of the U.S. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, 1953. Churchill died in 1965, at the age of 90. Even in death, Churchill was honored by a rare state funeral by decree of Queen Elizabeth II. Churchill's larger mission seems to have been splendidly accomplished.
