The Boz Leon family is one of the top big families in Scotland. They not only have two earl titles, but also have the fifth largest castle in the UK - Slamis Castle, which naturally has a very close connection with the royal family.
's noble background and good education have attracted the attention of a number of noble men, who are already beautiful and charming. The water does not flow out of the country, and the King of England George V was also very satisfied with Elizabeth, so under his push, Elizabeth had a formal meeting with his second son Prince Albert.
In fact, Elizabeth and Prince Albert met as early as young as they were young.
Albert I remember that at a private banquet, he was 5 years old and sat alone at the table. When the lively and cheerful Elizabeth saw that he was very lonely, he handed him a piece of cake. This little thing has always been in Albert's memory, so when the two meet again, he falls in love with the beautiful Elizabeth at first sight. Unfortunately, the fallen flowers were intentional and the flowing water was ruthless. At that time, Elizabeth had already had a lover. Therefore, when Prince Albert finally got the courage to propose, she ruthlessly refused.
After George V learned of the situation, he simply sent Elizabeth's lover overseas to clear the obstacles for his son. In the end, his son got what he wanted and married Elizabeth, and Elizabeth became the first civilian princess to marry into the royal family.
Elizabeth originally loved freedom and was unwilling to be bound by the royal red tape. Fortunately, Prince Albert was not the crown prince, so after marriage, the couple did not receive public attention and their lives were very peaceful. After marriage, Elizabeth also discovered that Prince Albert had many advantages. Several years later, Elizabeth admitted that she really fell in love with her husband after marriage.
1926, Elizabeth gave birth to a lovely daughter. Prince Albert was very happy with his daughter's arrival. Out of love and recognition for his wife, Prince Albert named his daughter Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor (that is, the newly-deceased Queen of England ). It is said that at that time, a fortune teller predicted that the little princess Elizabeth would marry the king in the future.
No matter what, the arrival of little Elizabeth brought joy to the entire royal family. Even George V, who had always been strict, often brought Elizabeth little by his side, letting her sit in the carriage with her and accept the blessings and love of all the people.
Not long after, Elizabeth gave birth to a young girl Princess Margaret . The family of four was happy, and life was both calm and warm.
In 1936, George V passed away, and Crown Prince Edward inherited the throne, for Edward VIII .
However, Edward VIII was fascinated by the American woman, Mrs. Simpson, who had two marriage history, and insisted on marrying her. After the scandal broke out, the whole country was in an uproar, and the British government represented by Prime Minister Baldwin also strongly opposed it and threatened its resignation.
In the end, the angry Edward VIII chose love. He said through the radio that he would not be able to bear the king's heavy responsibility without his beloved woman supporting and helping him. Edward VIII then resigned from the king's position.
Albert, as the second son, became the king in the order of inheritance of the throne.
Things came too suddenly, Prince Abbott couldn't help but burst into tears, saddened by the quiet and happy life he was about to lose. But at this time, the people's dissatisfaction with the royal family was overwhelming. In order to save the royal family's image, he had to bite the bullet and ask the Archbishop to put a crown symbolizing power on him and accept the blessings and love of all people. He was called George VI .
As for Elizabeth, although she became the queen, she was not grateful to Edward VII . Instead, she blamed him for not putting the overall situation first and destroying the happy life of his younger brother's family. Because of this, Elizabeth has always been dissatisfied with Mrs. Simpson and believes that she is the culprit of all problems.So, later she rarely talked about Mrs. Simpson, and even when she talked about Mrs. Simpson, she only called her "that woman".
George VI's stuttering problem once made him shame internationally.
In 1925, George VI, who was born in the Navy, delivered speeches to the whole country and even the world through live radio broadcasts on the British Empire expo. For George VI, who suffered from stuttering, it almost killed him. So when the prompt sound has been long, the poor man is still speechless and can't make any sound. He became the most famous stuttering patient at that time.
After marrying Elizabeth, Elizabeth specially found a relevant doctor for him to correct his stuttering problem, and at the same time constantly gave him encouragement and support. It is obvious that the gentleness of his wife and the cuteness of his daughter are both good medicines for healing stuttering. In front of his family, George VI's stuttering was improved.
If George VI did not become king, he should be the lucky prince. But he, who was concerned about the people, finally accepted the arrangement of fate. Soon he discovered that as he became king, the family that gave him happiness also changed. For example, when he reached out to his daughter Princess Elizabeth for the first time after becoming king, Princess Elizabeth, Princess Elizabeth ran towards him excitedly, and suddenly hesitated for a moment. Immediately afterwards, I walked up to him very politely and gave him an curtsy . This made George VI heartbroken. Later, he wrote this in his diary and wrote: "I really don't want to be a king."
Elizabeth is a brave woman. She understands her husband's psychological and physical pain and stress, and continues to patiently help her husband solve the stuttering problem. She also accompanied her husband to give speeches in public many times. Although George VI's speech still had many flaws, the people were moved by his courage and efforts, and their impression of him changed.
After the outbreak of World War II , Hitler took a break after winning in France and prepared to launch a war against Britain. At that time, the dignitaries and nobles sent their children to Canada to avoid disaster, and the country was filled with the tension of the upcoming war.
Many ministers also requested George VI to send the queen and princess to Canada for refuge, but Elizabeth said that the children cannot live without her, and she cannot live without the king, and the king cannot live without his motherland! So they didn't go anywhere, just stayed in Britain and were with the people!
Elizabeth's thoughts inspired George VI and made him more determined to share the joys and sorrows with the people and share the hardships when the country was in crisis. For this reason, he also delivered the most famous speech "Home with the People".
The patriotic sentiment of George VI and Elizabeth has won wide praise from the people. The originally insignificant British royal family has thus become the spiritual pillar of the British people.
When the German army invaded Britain, the bombing of London alone lasted 57 days and nights. Not only did they blow up a large number of houses, but even Buckingham Palace became their target of bombing.
Once, George VI and Elizabeth were having a meal in the room with their two daughters when suddenly a shell landed 30 meters away, blowing a big gap in one corner of the house.
Another time, when the German bomber was hovering above Buckingham Palace, Elizabeth led his two daughters out of the house, and heard a loud "boom" sound, and the house behind them collapsed instantly.
Although horror and danger are everywhere, Elizabeth has no sign of fear. She stood in the bombed place of Buckingham Palace and said with a smile that she felt her vision was not wide enough so she could see further.
In addition to maintaining an optimistic attitude, Elizabeth also immediately crossed the street with George VI after the German bombing and went to the bombed area to comfort the injured people. And stay on the scene and actively participate in the relief and resettlement of disaster victims.
Not only that, with Elizabeth's encouragement, Princess Elizabeth also delivered an inspiring speech through the radio to encourage children who stayed behind their homes like her.
Due to George VI's busy official business, Elizabeth was responsible for the safety of his two daughters and the family's diet.
Throughout World War II, Elizabeth asked only the most "affordable" meals needed to be rationed. Therefore, the food on their dining table is very simple and is no different from the lives of the people.
The role of the king and queen has played a great role in the people. Throughout World War II, the British people showed their spirit of defending the country to the death and actively participated in the battle to defend their country.
Hitler was very worried. She said hatefully: "Elizabeth is the most dangerous woman in Europe."
Undoubtedly, as the queen, Elizabeth did play a very important role. She not only gave George VI great comfort and support, but also the root of George VI's courage. It is precisely because Elizabeth and George VI have maintained a very close relationship with the people throughout the war that not only did Britain not fall to the point of destruction, but also, the originally ineffective British royal family has regained the love of the people and has a lofty status.
