Henry 2nd (Plantagenet) the father of the dynasty - well strictly peaking it was his father Duke Geoffrey 5th Duke of Anjou that was the true father of the Plantagenets but Henry 2nd was the first King in the line - and then Elizabeth 1st

Quentin
Henry II, Henry V or VII. Richard and his brother John would be interesting as well. Old family story says were related to the Kaiser's of Germany on my mother's side. It's not true, but had fun with it when growing up.

English Kings. How boring. Well, maybe apart from Henry the VIII and the queens of course.

Actually i would love to have met George the sixth too...thrust onto the Throne in 1936 after his Brothers abdication..he went a whole way to helping the morale of this Country in 1940 when him and the Queen stayed in London at the height of the blitz,after the Government wanted him to flee to Canada ,fearing a German invasion...

Richard III -- I'm pretty sure he didn't order or condone the killing of his nephews but I'd like to ask him a few questions. And if I could give truth serum to Henry VII, I'd like to ask HIM a few questions!
I'd love to meet Anne Boleyn, but Henry VIII -- no way.
Edward II, to warn him to get out of town before his enemies start warming up the hot pokers.
The Georges were pretty boring, but the young Queen Victoria would have been interesting to talk to.
Elizabeth I was a great ruler, but I don't think I have anything to ask her.
Bloody Mary? Yes, if I could try her out on Prozac.
Edward VII -- get him and Prince Charles together to talk about the woes of long-lived mothers.

King Canute
The king in the Kings new clothes
Lady Godiva
We could all meet on a nudist beach, and Canute could keep the waves back for us.

I think I'll stick with Elizabeth (the present) and the Queen Mother...she seemed like a really neat lady!
Katie......you could bring them to Florida to Playalynda Beach.......it's still a "Naturalist Beach"
