Elizabeth II finally settled down: With her husband, she returned to her parents, and in addition to the love that she hugged again, there is also a rare family affection in her life.
After the Queen was buried, the royal family issued a special tweet:
"The Queen will rest with her late husband Duke of Edinburgh, father George VI King, mother Queen Elizabeth Queen and sister Princess Margaret ."
along with this tweet, and a photo taken in 1947: George VI, Queen Elizabeth, Queen and husband Prince Philip , and sister Margaret.
This is a real family photo. At that time, the queen had just gotten married, the sister was not married, the father was not old, the mother was healthy, and the husband and wife were loving.
There are not many such states in life, and the happiness can be seen from the queen's face.
As many netizens said, Only the person in this photo is the one who really calls her "Lilybet", Because they love her, understand her, and support her, they are all wholeheartedly and unconditionally.
It’s a pity that the journey of life is always in a state of “subtraction”. Continuous loss is the theme and no one can change it. not only that, but the purpose is to bear silently, and the Queen is no exception.
1951, George VI underwent surgery due to lung disease. It should have been lung cancer at that time, right? Anyway, the royal family has stated to the outside world that the king has "abnormal lung structure". , but at that time, the statement about cancer was not clear.
After the left lung was removed, George VI persisted for a year. In February 1952, his daughter suddenly passed away when she was not around.
Queen is therefore called "the princess on the tree and the queen under the tree", and she suffered for a long time.
In fact, Queen Elizabeth and the Queen have always been resentful about the death of George VI. believes that this is the result of Edward VIII's inaction.
In fact, George VI was very addicted to smoking, which was very similar to his daughter Margaret. And later, his beautiful daughter, as beautiful as a rose, passed away.
It can be seen that whether George VI is a king or not is not the point, cancer in his lungs is the key. But it is their own business that the Queen and her mother are willing to take the blame for their father's death.
Father passed away at the age of 57, and he died prematurely.
For this reason, the queen wanted to realize her father's dream and help him do the unfinished things well: build a small family memorial hall of his own.
This is probably also the selfish intention of George VI. He has been unable to enjoy life with his family because of state affairs for half his life. He hopes that he can continue to stay with his wife and daughters in the next life and be that comfortable and leisurely prince.
For this reason, the Queen spent 17 years to repair George's Sixth Century Hall and moved her father's coffin in.
Perhaps, from that time on, she had long thought about her funeral: one day, their family will reunite again.
However, George VI was lonely underground for decades until 2002, her 71-year-old youngest daughter passed away early and became the first person to accompany him.
Margaret not only has poor lungs, but also has a stroke and a bad heart. It is understandable that she dies early.
But her life is really sad. She fell in love with a divorced royal guard at the age of 17 and was hit hard by love.
In the absence of love, Margaret exiled her life.
Party princess, staying up late queen, not only indulge in life every day, but also drink and smoke. When she was the best, she could smoke 60 cigarettes a day.
Life like this, it is almost impossible for Margaret to gain a perfect life. So when she was 71 years old, she left alone, leaving behind her sister and mother who loved her, and was very sad for her.
At that time, according to Margaret's will, the queen cremated her body.
Margaret doesn't want to enter the gloomy cemetery underground, and doesn't want to let the body rot. love beauty all your life, and naturally keep beauty to the end.
But the queen can't bear to leave her sister, and the deep love between sisters is obvious to all the outside world.
So, although Margaret was cremated, , her ashes were eventually sent to George's Sixth Century Hall , is with her father who loves her the most and will never be alone.
Perhaps the loss of her daughter was too great. The 101-year-old Queen Mother Elizabeth didn't hold on for long. After less than two months of Margaret's death, she left with concern for the queen.
For ordinary people, 101 years is considered a joyful delight, but for the queen, she still can't accept this reality. After all, my mother is the last blood-related relative in her world.
Fortunately, the queen who left her mother and her sister were still with her husband.
Although Prince Philip has a reputation, the queen seems to have never cared about it. She loves her husband deeply, spends time with him, and supports each other day.
Prince Philip is 5 years older than the queen. He loves her and spoils her. Even if there are so many flowers outside, he will be the "subject" who keeps his duties when he returns to the royal family.
Queen has been ascending the throne for nearly 70 years, and she always follows Prince Philip behind her. Even at her age, the prince will dress up as a guard to surprise his wife.
This kind of love is as light as water, but it flows in life and is irreplaceable.
2021, Prince Philip spent his life at the age of 99. The queen at that time endured her sadness and went to the church to see her husband off in person.
Wearing black clothes, white hair, sitting alone in a corner, tears in my eyes, that was the image of an old man who was hurt.
The Queen believes that a black hole has appeared in her heart, like an invisible demon sucking her own spirit.
So, a year and a half later, the queen also left.
"I think she ended up dying from heartbreak... Philip left, she was no longer the same... She said that he was her strength and support, and he supported everything she did in life."
royal experts who are relatively familiar with the queen and are good at interpreting the queen's worries believe that the queen's death is a necessity after losing the support of love: She can't hold on for too long without Prince Philip.
died of heartbreak. If so, then the queen's life would be too perfect.
She has the love of her parents and even grandparents since she was a child. She has the love that her husband has the unchanging lifelong life when she grows up. She lives in this world for love.
When all these loves were lost, she finally exiled the idea of living and would rather pamper her people around her early, than be a noble queen.
On September 8, 2022, the queen passed away.
So, Windsor Dynasty 's former "family portrait" was completely destroyed, and all five people went to another world to reunite.
George VI once wrote a letter to the Queen when she got married, and in the letter he said:
"In the long walk in Westminter Church, you are so close to me... But when I handed your hand to the Archbishop, I felt that I had lost something very precious... But remember that your hometown is still yours, please come back as much and often as possible... Don't forget us, this is your wish forever love and loyal... Daddy."
believe that the queen has never forgotten, and she has never even really left her home.
However, she brought a man she loved to this family, So, she gave the Windsor Dynasty more vitality and energy, and gave herself the courage to face the whole world. And at the end of her life, she finally returned to her "hometown" again, and also "returned" to her parents with her favorite Prince Philip.
