London Bridge collapsed.
This is the secret code of the death of Elizabeth II. On September 8, she died at the age of 96 in the Balmoral Castle in Scotland. On that day, the British Ministry of Defense arranged a salute ceremony, and the whole country was silent for one minute. The royal residence, Whitehall and government buildings were lowered at half-staff. The official website of the British royal family was also on a black background. The top of the pages of all government websites were black banners, and the whole of Britain was immersed in grief.
Elizabeth II reigned for 70 years and was the longest-reigning British monarch so far. She accompanied the British people from the steam era to the third scientific and technological revolution of today, experiencing Churchill to the newly appointed 15 prime ministers of Tras, and meeting with 14 US presidents. Even though the world changes a lot, Queen Elizabeth II has always existed steadily in the lives of generations of British people and has become an indispensable part.
"This young child has an authoritative and thoughtful temperament, which is really amazing." This is what Churchill said after first meeting Elizabeth. At that time, she would meet Churchill at the age of 2, and commented that he would be a character in the future. At the age of 3, she appeared on the cover of the American " Times ".
Although Elizabeth II has an imperial appearance, she has no political ambitions. Her dream is always to become a carefree country lady, but her uncle Edward VIII "does not love the country and loves beauty", which forced her father to ascend the throne, and as the eldest daughter, she also became the first heir.
Watching his father who was stuttering, his mother held on London during the bombing of World War II. Elizabeth II was determined to participate like his parents and fulfill the obligations of the royal family. At the age of 14, she delivered a national radio speech, inspiring and comforting British children displaced in the war, and organized and starred in pantomime to raise funds for arms preparations. At the age of 18, her father performed royal duties and served in the Women's Support Force, where she became the first professionally trained car repairman in the British royal family.
After the victory of the war, she and her sister took to the streets, integrated with the people, and celebrated the happiness and liberation they had obtained. These experiences broke her traditional concepts. Later, she sent her children to school, not to receive family education in the royal family.
In 1947, Elizabeth II made her first diplomatic visit in her life. She and her parents visited South Africa, where she celebrated her 21st birthday and spoke: "No matter how long she lives, she will serve the British Empire family for life." This year, she also completed her marriage and married Prince Philip, whom she fell in love with at the age of 13. Philip even gave up her nationality and beliefs, as well as the inheritance of the throne of Greek .
On February 6, 1952, she and Prince Philip were observing wild animals on the "Tree Top Hotel" in Kenya. The hotel was built on a huge fig tree tree canopy. Here she received the news of her father's death, so she came down from the tree and realized the transformation from the princess to queen.
Become the queen, she bears heavy responsibilities, not only the crown on her head, but also the pain she bears. The cumbersome palace rules erased her relationship with Philip. The eldest son, Charles, , and erotic, caused the royal family to be discredited. The mother and sister passed away one after another. Even Philip, who had been with her for 74 years, passed away first.
Queen was once photographed secretly wiping her tears. Her lonely figure made the British think that she would choose to abdicate when she was aging. Four days later, she began to perform royal duties.
No one knows the sadness in her heart. She only knows that as the queen, she should be strong and optimistic every time she appears in front of the camera.
Since last year, she has frequently absent from major events; she was infected with the new coronavirus in February this year; when she celebrated the 70th anniversary of her throne, she only attended the first day of the event and started to rest; on September 8, she was in medical supervision and died at 7:30 p.m. that day.
The throne was handed over to Crown Prince Charles. In the next four days, the queen's body will be open to the public and is allowed to pay homage.
"For many years, the queen has been energetic, but she is not superman." said the British royal biographer.
