As the funeral of British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, goes on, a former aviation minister, Osita Chidoka, has revealed similarities between her and his own family.
The former minister in a Facebook post on Monday chronicled the instances where the life of the late monarch intersected with that of his parents.
About his father and the Queen, he said, “I am watching the funeral of Late Queen Elizabeth. Could not help but think of my father. She was born April 1926. My father was born November 1926. Their births couldn’t be more different. She a Princess. Him without royalty.”
On how the Queen’s life intersected, with his mother, Chidoka said, “1948 the year Prince Charles was born. My mother named Victoria, was born the same year, her parents paid no bills at Island Maternity as the crown paid for all delivery at the maternity in honour of the Queen’s delivery.”
