Elizabeth spent WW2 in Windsor and joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service after she turned 18. Many wanted the royals to flee to Canada but they did not.
Zelenskyy has likewise been offered the chance to run his government from exile and has refused. In the opening days of the war he famously declared “I need ammunition, not a ride.”
