Living or dead, Queen Elizabeth II. The word "incredible" is overused but in the case of her 70 years reign with dignity, integrity, and hardly ever putting a foot wrong, is absolutely appropriate. Living, Princess Anne. Hardworking, absolutely tons of charity work, intensely loyal to her family and country, totally uncomplaining of her place in the birth order and role as a relatively minor royal, an imperfect personal life but has never made a public drama of it.
