On September 19, the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II of England was held at Westminster Abbey, London, which is also the place for her ascension to the throne and hosting her wedding ceremony.
Here, guest representatives from the British royal family, Commonwealth member states and countries around the world were invited to attend this grand funeral, and more than 4 billion people around the world followed the live funeral broadcast. This means that Elizabeth II has won enough respect worldwide.
From then on, the afterglow ended, and the last little face of British Empire no longer exists.
Elizabeth II is the last face of the UK
1926 when the Queen was born, World War II had not yet begun, and Britain could barely maintain its status as a world power. By the time she passed away, the actual control area of Britain was basically limited to the sovereignty of Great Britain - even its influence on continental European affairs declined rapidly due to "Brexit".
When the Queen ascended the throne in 1952, the first prime minister I met was the "iron-blooded Prime Minister" Churchill who came out of the war. In the years after the Brexit referendum, Britain experienced four prime ministers like a revolving lantern, from Cameron to Teresa, and then from Johnson to Teras, one by one, competing to show what the rivers are falling.
In the process of the empire from glory to decline, because of the establishment of relevant British systems, Elizabeth II could only stay in her Buckingham Palace , watching silently - and can only watch silently, watching the British politicians step by step, turning "British Britain" into "Little Britain".
From the miracle brought to Britain by the Great Navigation and the Industrial Revolution to Britain's backwardness in technological progress and innovation, the Queen may have seen it and seen through it. Her kingdom has nothing to do with the world power in the new century. Before the concept of "world", all she could do seemed to be graceful on the pound and the banknotes of the Commonwealth member states to carry the historical memory of the British.
There will be no more prime ministers like Churchill in the UK.
Before the Queen passed away, the issues of the Commonwealth stay and leave and the independence of Scotland were repeatedly put on the stage for discussion, but with her departure, the original Commonwealth system was facing a situation of complete disintegration, and even the territorial integrity of Great Britain could be broken - after all, Scotland and Northern Ireland are in a state of independence.
Netizens who have read " Dream of Red Mansions " know that after the death of Jia Mu, the Jia family quickly declined from prosperity, and the bigger background is that the dynasty behind the Jia family also declined after experiencing prosperity. In fact, if we compare it, we can find that today's British royal family and the British Empire are very similar to the stories in "Dream of Red Mansions".
So, the Queen's funeral is also the funeral of the British Empire.
Queen She left neither early nor late, it was the time.
After the death of the Queen, the UK accelerates toward split
