Yes Queen Elizabeth II is quite a keen Leica user. There are many photos of her with an M3 (without an MR meter most of time I think). Glad to see she has been upgraded. Amusing that she gets one for free - she surely could afford a new one herself. It's good to be the Queen.

The Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh is also a keen photographer. His Hasselbland and Minox photographs of seabirds, seals and wildlife in the Tropical Seas and the Antartic were published in his book

Harper & Row, New York, 1962
