The news has been spread for many years, this time it is true -
Buckingham Palace has lowered half of the flag to express condolences to the queen.
Countless people were guarding the gate of Buckingham Palace with flowers, with solemn expressions and tears falling on the scene.
They are the queen who truly loves them, and 80% of the living British people have only seen this queen.
She is the longest-reigning head of state in the UK. She won countless prime ministers, and even last year, she won the tree she planted when she ascended the throne.
She is also the lucky and most dedicated queen in the world.
Just two days ago, the Queen had just met with the new British Prime Minister Tras.
Now the queen has left, and this legend that has almost spanned the entire century has ended, and it has also taken away the glory of the past of the empire of " will not fall on ".
An era ends here.
days of throne
If there was a pie falling from the sky in the world, the biggest piece would have fallen in the yard of Elizabeth 's family.
Elizabeth's family's acquisition of royal inheritance came completely from an accident.
His father was not the crown prince, but his original throne was the treasure of his uncle Edward VIII.
△Edward VIII
It’s a pity that Edward VIII “loves beauty but not the country”. After being the king for several months, Edward VIII I met Mrs. Simpson and fell at first sight.
In order to marry this lady who got married twice and divorced twice, my uncle voluntarily abdicated, left the royal family and became a civilian, and ran away with his wife to France.
The right to inherit the throne fell on Elizabeth's father, George VI , which also made Elizabeth's grade a little more than a crown prince.
△George VI and the young Elizabeth
It is said that the love of the young Elizabeth has been very much affected by the love of the uncle. With great excitement, she vowed not to be a person like her uncle who gave up the national interests for her own selfish desires.
Some people speculate that it is precisely because of this rock-solid will that she has been on the throne for 70 years.

real queen
Elizabeth reigned for 70 years, and the British loved her for 70 years.
In the UK, you can make jokes about the prime minister, make jokes about food, make jokes about The British Empire , but you can't make jokes about the queen.
Because the British people are really angry.
Youtube has many videos interviewing British civilians and celebrities and asking them who their favorite royal family members are. About 20% of them answered the deceased Princess Diana , and 70% of them answered the Queen.
However, in the civil survey, the support rate of the British royal family has never dropped by 70%.
As a comparison, the previous British Prime Minister Johnson's approval rating was only 38%.
The British's protection of the queen is not good even if the king of heaven opposes it.
In 2018, American Former President Trump visited the UK. He was collectively scolded by the British media simply because he always liked to walk in front of the queen and always blocked the camera.
How dare you!
Netizens even spontaneously humiliated Trump .
British netizens and media have always been afraid that the world will not be in chaos. They scold the government, the prime minister, China and the United States, and even the doves beside the Thames river , just because They excrete too much.
only faces English Queen , they are unanimous and well-behaved and have five-star praises.
But there are naturally rebel authors in the world who like to commend their personalities. Once, the largest British newspaper, " Sun ", revealed an old photo of the queen posing in 1933, questioning the 7-year-old at the time Is the Queen a Nazist?
I didn't expect that the British, who have always liked conspiracy theories, directly bombed and questioned the Sun, slandering our queen, what are your intentions?
△"The Sun has refreshed the bottom line of the media again."
Forced by public opinion, the Sun can only Hurry up and apologize and say everyone misunderstood. Then, on the front page of celebrating the Queen's anniversary, he expressed himself in a slight way. Love for the Queen.
In 2014, Scotland, one of the three British islands, was in independence, and a referendum was launched to see if it wanted to be independent from the United Kingdom.
Because the Constitution stipulates that the royal family must not participate in politics excessively, Buckingham Palace once stated that "the queen and the royal family will not interfere in the Scottish referendum."
However, the reason why the queen continued to hold a week was that the day before the referendum, she took a special plane to Scotland , and chatted with the people in front of Balmoral Castle .
When someone asked about the Queen's opinion on the referendum, the Queen waited for the camera to take place and made a rare statement:
"I hope everyone thinks twice. ( Well, I hope people will think very carefully about the future)”
and Scotland stayed .
Scottish Independence Organization has been promoting the second referendum in recent years. One of the reasons is that the royal family and the queen have used their influence to influence public opinion.
There are many people in the world who call themselves queens and are called queens, but in the eyes of the British, there is only one real queen.
Love in the War
was born in the royal family, just like a canary born in a cage.
Elizabeth never went out to school, and all education was held by royal tutors; she never dated, even with her husband.
Of course, these titles were all later. At that time, the existence of Phillip made the British royal family extremely embarrassed - this is a prince with a false reputation, and he was with his father as early as he was less than 5 years old. Exited from Greece, follow your parents to live under someone else's roof, In fact, he has no money and no land;
Moreover, he is also the grandchild of Queen Victoria .
Yes, Elizabeth and Philip are related by their generation and are cousins.
Although this is not a big problem in the European royal family, which has always had the habit of marriage in close relatives.
But the two were talking about their feelings with each other in letters and eyes, and before they could even show up with the royal family, they were already involved in the wave of the times.
WWII broke out, Elizabeth became a field nurse, and Philip joined the Navy.
Even in the midst of the war, the two have maintained a letter connection, and this couplet has been connected for 8 years.
In the past eight years, Elizabeth (Elizabeth) became Lilibet, who belongs only to Philip's writing.
In the end, the fascist cavalry was completely shattered, and the love experience of the two was also tempered as rock-solid. Philip made great achievements and glory, and finally he mustered up the courage to propose marriage to King George VI of England.
The counterattack of the waste prince and his daughter's persistence for many years made the old father George VI have to agree to this marriage.
But except for meeting and letter contact with the family, the two did not have a private date at one time. In this way, the two got married as pure as snow.
Two or three years after marriage, the two had a pair of children. If they lived their lives like this, they should be able to live a peaceful and wealthy life with the support of the royal family.
It’s just that the story will not be written like this, and life will not be smooth sailing.
On February 6, 1952, George VI died of a sudden thrombosis, and Elizabeth succeeded to the throne as Queen of Great Britain. The full name is "The Queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Head of Commonwealth, and the Protector of Christianity, Elizabeth II ".
Prince Philip 's first secretary, Michael Parker later mentioned Philip's reaction to knowing this:
"He Not the kind of person who will show emotions, but only that day, he did not adjust his expression until I remember today that he looked like the sky had collapsed. "
He knew that Lili Bai no longer belonged to him, and she would be the high-ranking queen in the future.
△Elizabeth II's coronation ceremony
At the coronation ceremony, Philip knelt in front of his wife and became the first A swearing man:
"I, Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, I wish to be your subject for life, and respect you and be loyal to you ! (I, Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, wish to be your subject for life, to honor and serve you!)”
From then on, the queen also He began his magnificent life and had no choice but to do so.
Responsibility
Britain implements constitutional monarchy . The queen is nominally the head of state, but does not hold real power.
But even so, the burden on this Xujun is still heavy.
The husband of the Queen, Prince Philip once complained to his friends:
"Where is marriage, she works all the time."
Every morning at 8:30, Elizabeth would get up in the good morning music played by the bagpipers in Buckingham Palace and eat After breakfast, I will browse the newspaper, pay attention to current affairs and start working.
Then, she will read the letters sent to her by people from all over the world, with an average of 300 letters per day, and choose a part of the reply.
Most of the time, the letters are some boring fan letters such as "Please to the Queen" and blowing rainbow farts to the Queen.
occasionally encounters some special things, such as once an American asked the Queen of England to take back the United States.
In response to this, Elizabeth's reply was "Sorry, we cannot interfere in other people's internal affairs." After the reply to
has finished, Elizabeth wants to review the official documents in a special red box. After the desk work, the queen will be a makeup artist and a costumer. Surrounded and prepared to participate in the event.
On average, the Queen attends 430 events, that is, there are an average of 1.17 events a day.
In the colorful palace life, the queen has almost no rest days.
"Endless handshakes, speeches, lunches, dinners, banquets, buffets, formal and informal meetings ,"; "It's like this every time, day after day, year after year."
It is Elizabeth II in the eyes of biographer John Parker.

The things about the royal family
Queen's Private life is not worry-free.
Before, people with gossip royal scandals always asked whether Philip loves his queen wife? The answer should be half and half.
When Philip became queen, he learned that his surname Mountbatten could not be left to his descendants, and that all the children had their surname Windsor, he was angry.
"I am the only person in this country who does not allow my name to children. I am just a damn amoeba."
until later, Wang The room decided to use the duplicate surname: Mountbatten Windsor to call them Descendants.
Only those royal members who do not have the titles of His Highness, Prince, or Princess will use this surname.
This is a compromise from the royal family, but it cannot resolve Philip's aggrievance.
This kind of frustration has created Philip's romantic relationship after marriage.
△Penny Romsey, Prince Philip's most famous lover
In 2014, British media broke the news Prince Philip's list of lovers has more than 30.
He is also a notorious club in the British upper class, "The Man on Thursday afternoon" . The main function of this club is to be surrounded by strippers, let a A group of rich children gathered together to drink and brag.
△In the rumors, Philip's lover
The queen is aware of this, but she doesn't care, at least on the surface.
Anyway, Sarah Bradford, a royal writer who is close to the queen, said:
"The queen accepts this state, and she thinks that men are like this."
Not only my husband, but my sons are worried. Role: The eldest son Prince Charles 's ex-wife Princess Diana cheated on her back then, and then the princess died bizarrely;
△The young Princess Diana and Prince Charles
second son Prince Andrew was exposed to be involved in "Epstein" a few years ago The "Sex Slave Island Incident was recently prosecuted for sexual abuse by victims 20 years ago.
△ Prince Andrew's "evidence" circulated online
Connect grandson Prince Harry Unicom The wife left the royal family and complained to the royal family on the show.
But the queen's mind is truly broad. Not only did she not pursue her son and daughter's troubles, but she was also criticized for her protection for Andrew and was almost insured.
At the funeral of her husband Philip, the queen also invited Penny Romsey, the husband's most famous lover during his lifetime, and her former biggest rival in love, to attend the farewell ceremony; at that time, only 30 people were allowed to attend.
No wonder some people say that the rumored royal family can still maintain their status in the hearts of the people, the main reason lies in the Queen of England herself.
"When you pass away"
In the UK, almost everyone loves the queen, but it seems that everyone is waiting for the queen to die.
In the online world, the queen's death was already daily. The last time was more than a year ago, the queen was killed by the French media because the French media sent out the originally prepared obituary error.
The biggest incident happened in 2015, when the queen was killed by her own BBC reporter.
also allowed Yishui English media to be brought into the gutter.
Later, the BBC came out to refute the rumors, and people only realized that this was actually a drill inside Buckingham Palace.
Yes, the Queen's death ceremony drill is a regular business at Buckingham Palace.
For the British government and important British media, the top news such as "the passing of the queen" needs to be practiced in advance.
" Guardian " once revealed that there was a big-character poster on the office wall of their newspaper's deputy editor-in-chief, which arranged the manuscripts after the queen's death.
Their studio even has a blue light. As soon as the blue light is on, all programs will be suspended and enter the "Queen's Death Mode". The host needs to change into a black suit and play the corresponding background music.
Since the Queen became 40 years old, relevant personnel from all over the UK have been regularly rehearsing for the "Queen's Death".
In 2018, the UK secretly held the "largest scale in history" Queen's Death Rehearsal code-named "Castle Dove".
This rehearsal was dug up by the media because of the confidentiality work, so the whole world knew the secret code of the queen's death: "London Bridge is down ( London Bridge is down)".
△London Bridge
According to reports, when the queen dies, the private secretary will call the British headline with an anti-eavesdropping phone number as soon as possible The code is reported.
At the same time, London is similar to MI6 intelligence center. It will start to spread news to other countries.
is first a Commonwealth country, and then an allied state such as the United States, and then all the remaining diplomatic countries will be notified.
The waiter in mourning clothes will walk out of Buckingham Palace, nail the black obituary to the door, and announce the news to the reporter.
The official website of the royal family will turn all black, the national flag will be half-dropped, and the death knives will be ringed.
This is the death of the queen, luxurious and solemn, but it is arranged clearly.
This day finally came - "London Bridge is down".
The Queen of England passed away. Perhaps, we can never find a little girl who has not yet retreated but has stabilized the hearts of the people in the war broadcast.
can no longer find a queen who is so handsome and beautiful, but she drives a transport vehicle to set an example in the bloody battlefield of World War II.
As a very few kings who have personally experienced the world war and the rise and fall of Britain in the 21st century, the queen accompanied Britain and the world through almost a century of road.
In addition to the countless beauty, fashion, joy, jokes, gossip and jokes that it brings to the public,
There are many more things worth remembering in her life.
Finally, I would like to pay my last respect to this legendary old man, go well, R.I.P.
