Hi there Firebird! You seem to have strayed from the topic The point is that Elizabeth may not have obtained a passport because she very probably did not need one. Can you come up with an authoritative source for the first date (excluding wartime) when a British subject could enter the United States *only* with the production of a current passport? Why buy one if you don't need one? cheers David On 21/10/2008, at 9:58 PM, Firebird wrote: > David Daniell wrote: >> Moving >> within the Empire was not unlike moving now within the EU. > > Only within *some* EU countries.
