It is being reported that Queen Elizabeth II is angry over British Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s handling of the war in Afghanistan.

She supposedly voiced her concerns during her weekly meetings with the Prime Minister. The issue of equipment shortage is what upsets her the most.
According to historian Andrew Roberts, it not just Her Majesty who is outraged. “The Queen, Prince Philip and Prince Charles are all furious with Gordon Brown over sub- standard equipment in Helmand, principally the under-armoured vehicles and the lack of helicopters.”
Roberts claims to have heard these reports from a minor royal, a serving general and a former Cabinet member.
However, royal sources say none of what Roberts is saying is true, and royal spokespeople have not commented.
Word of what the Queen may be saying comes after mounting criticism within the British government about the handling of the war in Afghanistan.
The Queen is the head of Britain’s Armed Forces.
