Queen Elizabeth II is currently the longest-reigning and oldest monarch in the world.
can be described as "ultra-long standby".
Since she succeeded to the throne in 1952, she has consumed a total of 13 US presidents. From Truman , all the way to Trump . Witnessing the assassination of Kennedy in , the Watergate incident, the death of Princess Diana , and other series of historical events.
almost witnessed the development process of the entire New China...
is simply a walking antique.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the current Queen of England, the head of the Commonwealth and the supreme leader of the parliament.
full name is "The Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and other territorial and territorial territories and territories in line with God's grace, the head of the Commonwealth, and the defender of the National Church ( Anglican ).
She fell in love with her when she was young Cousin. At that time, our queen was only 21 years old, innocent, innocent, young and ignorant. She quietly fell into love.
But strictly speaking, the Queen's marriage is actually a marriage of relatives. Because she and her husband Prince Philip are actually They are all great-grandsons of Queen Victoria , so they have always been called cousins before getting married.
But in fact, our Queen had already been in love with him as a secret heart as before when Philip was not the prince. At that time, Prince Philip was still "Captain Philip Mountbatten ".
That's right, he is the nephew of the famous Mountbatten General Louis Mountbatten .
Speaking of this, I have to talk about the chaos of the European royal family. Blood relationship.
is very geographically similar in Europe and has a history of long-term intermarriage. So later, I just caught one of them and the same family decades ago. It is difficult to not get along with the old man.
said this I have to mention the romantic Edward VIII , which has been around forever. He is simply the most famous example of loving beauty but not the country in British history.
But by the way, if Edward VIII didn't love beauty back then, he would be sitting on the throne now Maybe it wouldn't be Elizabeth II.
Regarding this extraordinary love, Madonna once directed a movie called " Love of the Country " (W.E.). The English name of the movie is the names of Mrs. Simpson and Prince Edward. The abbreviation of the initial letter.
Edward VIII and Mrs. Simpson, who made him give up his country,
Episode 2 Edward VIII and George VI are the eldest and second sons of George V (George V) respectively.
Edward succeeded to the throne in early 1936. Before he had time to be crowned, he signed a statement of abdication in December 1936 because he defied the church and the cabinet and insisted on marrying the divorced Mrs. Simpson as his wife, and later as the Duke of Windsor. The national broadcast said:
"I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as king as I would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I love."
After that, Edward and his wife were France spent most of the rest of their lives, and did not return to England until after their death.
Of course, there are many different opinions on the reasons for Edward VIII's abdication. Some people say that because he favors the Nazis, I won't explain them in detail here.
: After Edward VIII abdicated, his younger brother Albert, George VI, naturally returned to China to inherit the throne.
George VI is the prototype of the king who stutters in "H King's Speech ". He once published a national broadcast to encourage the people to resist the German army in World War II .
"The King's Speech" Stills
George VI's real name is Albert, which is a German name. Later, during World War II, it was renamed George to make a clear relationship with Germany.
Before George VI, the name Albert was named because Queen Victoria's husband was named Albert. Queen Victoria's beloved husband in her life was Prince Albert of Saxony Coburg Gotha, who was born in Germany.
George VI
And Queen Victoria once asked that among the monarchs after her, someone must have Albert in her name to remember her love for her husband. The unwritten rule of
was exempted after Elizabeth II ascended the throne. Elizabeth II is the granddaughter of Queen Victoria, that is to say, Elizabeth calls Queen Victoria: Grandma Zu.
So Queen Elizabeth II can be regarded as a change in the ancestral teachings.
Queen Elizabeth II got married in 1947. Her husband was Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and began a 74-year journey of showing love.
Queen and Prince Philip, the two in the two photos have almost the same posture, but the shooting time is half a century away. Well, you also want to show your love for half a century?
Queen and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, have four children, three of whom are sons and one is daughter, namely the eldest son Charles , the second son Andrew, the younger son Edward and daughter Anne .
Queen Elizabeth II is a devout Christian who abides by the law, so she refuses to admit it to Charles' mistress Camilla for many years.
However, her son does not value promises as much as she does. The gossip between her son Prince Charles and his daughter-in-law Princess Diana is simply world-famous.
daughter-in-law Diana, who has given the royal family a headache,
The queen's favorite son Prince Andrew is not a good deal. After being deeply involved in the sexual assault scandal, the queen deprived her of the military rank and royal patron status.
But then again, the queen's grandchildren are still low-key, except for Princess Diana's youngest son Prince Harry are full of scandals.
Prince Harry
The Queen's birthday was April 21, but on April 20, the Queen visited the Royal Post Office of the United Kingdom and received a series of stamps.
or above legends belong to the Queen’s life stage, please correspond to it yourself.

and the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump4 Donald Trump 2017-2021.
According to tradition in British history, as the crowned monarch, the queen will not abdicate during her lifetime.
However, there were actually arrangements and previews about her afterlife a long time ago. The plan was code-named " London Bridge " (London Bridge).
The death of the British king is different from other countries. First, a secret code must be set.
The previous generation of King George VI of England, and the code when he died was "Hyde Park Corner". Correspondingly, Elizabeth II's code was "London Bridge is down ( London Bridge is down)" , This code has existed since the Queen ascended the throne, just as ancient emperors built tombs in advance.
According to this plan, once the queen dies, the UK will lower the flag at half-mast to mourn, and the whole country will enter a 12-day day of mourning.
Then the report was received by the British Foreign Office, who were responsible for conveying the news to the Commonwealth countries.
The media that cooperates with the royal family will also receive the message as soon as possible, but not by phone or text message, but a blue light hanging above the studio. The blue light
was designed during the Cold War . The original purpose was to report that the Soviet Union launched the nuclear war as soon as possible, racing against time to let the people enter the asylum process.
But in peacetime, once the blue light comes on, it doesn’t mean anything else, it means the queen’s death. The TV station should be ready quickly, stop all entertainment programs, and play mourning music.
The black mourning clothes prepared for reading the obituary are also ready to be in the office at any time.
Theoretically, the British throne cannot have a vacuum period, so once the queen dies, Prince Charles, who is the "longest standby" in history, will automatically become the new British king as the crown prince. However, his official succession will require a series of official procedures. He will swear loyalty in public in Parliament and the Church of England, and St James' Palace will officially declare him as king.
After Prince Charles became king, the lyrics of the British national anthem "God Bless Me Queen" must also undergo corresponding changes.
The British are already very familiar with the royal funeral process, and even The Queen of England herself participated in the rehearsal to point out the shortcomings.
However, she herself doesn't care at all.
A few years ago, the queen who likes to raise , Corgi announced that she will no longer raise any pets. Foreign media reported that the Queen of England is slowly saying goodbye to her parents, childhood and memories.
Of course, the most uncomfortable part is the queen's family.
Her legendary life has come to an end, and right and wrong can only be left to comment on later generations.
