Mostly True
United Kingdom
Queen Elizabeth II was a trained mechanic and learned truck repair at 16 through the Labour Exchange.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (64/100).
The claims about Queen Elizabeth II's involvement as a mechanic during World War II are well-supported by both fact-checks and multiple reliable sources. She was indeed trained as a mechanic and driver in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. However, there is no evidence supporting the claim that she joined the British employment agency at the Labour Exchange at age 16. This claim appears to be incorrect.
