You can see that Elizabeth II is a queen with a sense of family and country, and she has the spirit of serving the people and the country. During the seventy years of reign, Elizabeth experienced various ups and downs in the contemporary British history of the 20th century, experienced war, natural disasters, betrayal, death, heart disease, the sorrow of losing a loved one, and encountered many royal crises and many family conflicts.

However, in the face of these difficulties, Elizabeth II can survive. Not only will it not be defeated by disasters and crises, but it will become stronger and stronger and more elegant. All of this lies in her feelings for family and country.

Little Elizabeth's childhood

Let's take a look. Although Elizabeth II was born in the British royal family, he was born with a golden key in his arms, and was surrounded by the glory and wealth envied by ordinary people, But when he was just born, he encountered the British royal crisis during World War II .

Although Elizabeth II is a British princess, this heir to the throne was picked up by this heir. Elizabeth II was born on April 21, 1926, and was born in the tide of the British workers' strike. At that time, her grandfather, George V, was reigned.

When Elizabeth II was a child, he called his grandfather George V. In the palace, she spent her childhood carefree time. Because she looks beautiful and lively by nature, she is very popular among her elders. But no one expected that this beautiful little princess would be the heir to the throne in the future. Because at that time, David and his uncle David and his father, the first heir to the throne, had children.

However, the opportunity of fate still transformed Elizabeth from a carefree princess to the first heir to the throne. In 1936, after the death of his grandfather George V, the charming uncle David inherited the throne, known in history as King Edward VIII.

Edward VIII and his wifeSimpson

However, King Edward VIII loves beauty but not country. Less than a year after ascending the throne, he announced his abandonment of the throne and divorced American Wallis Simpson declared his marriage with his lover . This is also the crisis of losing the trust of the people in the British monarchy. As a result, Elizabeth's introverted, fragile and unprepared father rushed to the throne and became George VI. In this way, the ten-year-old eldest daughter Elizabeth naturally became the heir to the throne.

According to royal members, Elizabeth, a little boy, was unprepared for all this and called himself a "terrible moment" for becoming the crown prince. Elizabeth's great-grandmother later recalled that after being told about her new status, Elizabeth little had “God prayed that she would have a younger brother” that night. It can be seen how nervous and frightened Elizabeth little was about becoming the crown prince! After

, Elizabeth Little was trained as the heir to the throne.She received an education in the palace and majored in constitutional history and law, and has been involved in it from geopolitics , constitutional history to religion, law and law. Due to the teaching of a private teacher, this also made Elizabeth young and knowledgeable, with profound attainments in history, language, and music, and could speak Spanish , French, German . At the same time, she also read official documents with her father and met with the heads of state informally.

Girls Elizabeth's feelings for family and country

939, when Elizabeth was 13 years old, World War II broke out, and Britain was invaded by Nazi Germany . The British royal family also experienced the baptism and challenges of defending their country, resisting foreign invasions, and avoiding the fate of slaves who lost their country.

In this way, Elizabeth, who was a young girl, also shouldered the important responsibility of being a spiritual leader and leading the British people to resist Nazi Germany's aggression. The young Elizabeth thus established the country's patriotism of the people.

When the war came, Luxury took turns to bomb the capital London, and Buckingham Palace , where the British royal family lived, was also bombed several times in turn. Once, Little Elizabeth was woken up by a servant in her sleep, and then she avoided the German bombing in the basement. But facing danger, Elizabeth, like her parents, stayed at Buckingham Palace.

As the war is tight, Britain has also taken a series of measures to protect the people during war, such as letting children leave the city and go to remote areas to avoid bombing, and Little Elizabeth and her sister were also evacuated to Windsor Castle. Later, it was suggested that both princesses be transferred to Canada, which is protected from the war, so as not to have an accident.

However, the Queen of England at that time, the mother of the princess, said:

"If I don't leave England, my daughter will not leave England; if the king does not leave England, I will not leave England. The king will never leave England."

Just like that, Little Elizabeth and the British royal family shared life and death with the people.

In 1940, in order to appease countless children displaced due to war, Elizabeth delivered her first public speech in her life on the radio :

Here, Elizabeth showed her determination to be with the British military and civilians. She also used her actions to show her determination to defend her country with the military and civilians. In 1945, Elizabeth, who had just become 19 years old, convinced her father George VI to allow her to join the war and win the invasion against the Nazi German army.

For this reason, She joined the "Women’s Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS)" and was registered as the No. 230873 enlisted soldier , trained in London as a military truck driver and a mechanic.

In July, she was promoted from a private to junior commander, learning to disassemble, repair and reassemble engines, replace tires, and drive every machine she works in, such as trucks, jeeps, and ambulances. She is a car repair soldier, and the media praised her as the "auto mechanic princess".

You should know that Princess Elizabeth joined the ATS. Although it is not allowed to hold guns for female soldiers, the work is very dangerous. As of June 1945, there were about 200,000 ATS members in various parts of the UK serving on the domestic frontline and many overseas war zones. During World War II, a total of 335 ATS women were killed and more were injured.

Elizabeth has always been proud of this experience as an auto mechanic. said that she had overcome the shortcomings of lack of confidence in the past, and even believed that she could penetrate into the military and civilians and be with the people.

Elizabeth's Dedication and feelings of family and country were strongly reflected when he ascended the throne and became the queen.

The feelings of the country of the Queen when she ascended the throne

On July 9, 11947, Princess Elizabeth was engaged to her distant cousin, Greek and Prince of Denmark Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten (now Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip ) and got married on November 20 of the same year. This wedding gave the world a hope for a world in ruins after World War II, and it was also the first royal wedding to be broadcast live across the country through TV.

On February 6, 1956, 6-year-old George VI unfortunately died of illness. Elizabeth, who was visiting Kenya, Africa, had to interrupt the visit and return home and inherit his father's throne. After

, at the coronation ceremony, Elizabeth II delivered a speech to the people:

"Please pray to Jesus , so that I can have the wisdom and strength to fulfill the promise I will make, and I will serve God and you faithfully with my life." After

, the Queen's reign for seventy years until her death, has always fulfilled her commitment to serving the British. It is this kind of service spirit that allows the Queen to survive all kinds of storms, setbacks and royal crises.

Let's look at the storm and royal crisis that the Queen faced during her seventy years of reign:

First, from 1956 to 1966, the end of The British Empire

World War II caused Britain's influence to decline in the world, and the colonies of the British Empire sought independence one after another. On June 13, 1956, Britain withdrew its last batch of troops from Suez Canal , and Britain's 72-year occupation of the Suez Canal area ended. Britain thus faced the political crisis after the victory of World War II. With the rise of the two superpowers of the Soviet Union and the United States, the pursuit of independence by British overseas colonies, the territory of the British Empire began to fall apart.

Commonwealth countries, such as Canada, New Zealand , and Australia all recognize Queen Queen as the highest head of state, and the Queen of England also regularly sends the Governor as the representative of the Queen, nominally manages countries that are members of the Commonwealth.

Commonwealth is one of the greatest achievements Elizabeth has contributed to the United Kingdom, as she said in 2009:

"The Commonwealth is not an organization with a mission. It is an opportunity to let its people work together to achieve a practical solution to the problem."

This also shows that Queen Elizabeth As the head of the Commonwealth member states, works with the people of the British overseas colonial countries to solve problems together, which is also a dedication to serve the people of the Commonwealth.

assumed taxpayer responsibility during the second economic crisis

Under the pressure of public opinion to condemn the royal family, Elizabeth II also saw the importance of paying taxes as a representative of the royal family to the image of the British national, so he took the initiative to pay estate taxes. So, in 1972, the Queen also used her private income to make up all the taxes, calming down the public opinion storm. can be seen that this royal crisis was also spent by Elizabeth II out of his patriotism for his country.

Thirdly resolves the royal family conflicts of Diana

In addition to the national crisis, As a family's wife, mother, and grandmother, Elizabeth II also has many family conflicts that are difficult to understand and chaotic, just like ordinary families.

In family life, Elizabeth II once called 1992 the "horror era" because her royal family suffered many scandals this year. In that year, the recording of the phone call between Prince Charles and his lover Camilla was exposed. The underground love between the two of them became a well-known fact for passers-by, and the royal family was dull. After

, the queen's daughter Princess Anne divorced and remarried. In this year, her youngest son Prince Andrew also separated from his wife Sarah. It can be said that family conflicts frequently broke out and were in trouble.

Charles The unhappy marriage with Diana was officially ended in 1996, but it did not bring a peaceful life to the royal family, which was troubled by the media. Diana has always been the focus of journalists' pursuit with cameras . Later, in 1997, with Diana losing her virginity in a car accident, the British royal family became the focus of fierce attacks on the media.

At that time, British people placed plush toys, bouquets and condolence notes to mourn Diana at the royal family where the royal family gathered and Buckingham Palace. Diana's fans, , think that the tragedy of all this is in the British royal family, so rumors are everywhere, and the British royal family is put on fire.

On the day of Diana's funeral, Elizabeth II made a TV speech, praising Princess Diana's charity dedication to the people, and also revealed her personal emotions in front of the palace. said that she liked this daughter-in-law very much and felt sad about her death.

On the funeral day, before Diana's coffin passed through Buckingham Palace, Queen Elizabeth II bowed her head and bowed . You should know that the Queen is the monarch of England and never bows to anyone. Her bow to Diana's coffin also represents her admiration for her former daughter-in-law's charity.

On the same day, Buckingham Palace also lowered the flag for Diana. These unprecedented decisions of the royal family also eliminated the hostility of most British people towards the royal family. The British people thus saw that the Queen of England respected her younger generations, admired Dai Aina's philanthropist serving the people, and the image of a compassionate elder, alleviated the hostility to the royal family. Just like that, in the face of the royal crisis caused by family conflicts, Queen Elizabeth II also used the feelings of family and country to alleviate the hostility between the people and the royal family in front of the public.

The fourth peace and resolve family conflicts

The queen has many family conflicts in her later years. However, in the face of family conflicts, Elizabeth II always holds a sense of family and country, hoping to bridge differences, unite the family, and use it to help the country. For example, on Crown Prince Charles and his lover Camilla, although the queen was not interested in Camilla's daughter-in-law at first, she was also disgusted. But at the insistence of his eldest son Charles, he bridged the differences and finally agreed to their wedding in 2005.

Another example is the sexual assault case that Prince Andrew of the Queen continues to ferment, and the Prince Harry couple who keeps "dirty" the royal family, which makes the entire British royal family very worried. In front of the royal family, the elderly Queen Elizabeth stood up again and again to uphold justice and save the reputation of the British royal family in the forefront. This echoes the British political philosophy - the glory of " will not fall on " is gone, but the national dignity and dignity need to be maintained at all times.

Therefore, many people also believe that is mainly the queen maintaining the national dignity and dignity of the United Kingdom and maintaining the British monarchy. If the Queen had not upheld justice, variables within the British royal family would have emerged one after another.

Although Queen Elizabeth II has left, during her 96-year-old life and 70 years of throne, she has fulfilled her oath and promise of being a young princess . Although she has experienced many years of vicissitudes, Elizabeth's extraordinary demeanor and style have never wavered, which has won her unparalleled respect and love.

In addition, Elizabeth II also led the royal family to gradually change, hoping to be closer to the people. When the world changes around her, the Queen combines royal traditions with world progress, in the words of Prince William , "Try to keep the family moving with the times."

Conclusion:

United Nations Former Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon once said that Elizabeth II is the "stabilizing needle of our era" . Under the constitutional monarchy, Elizabeth abides by the duty of the monarchy's power to be bound by law and does not participate in political struggles. However, he is very generous and humane, advances and retreats with the people, and also plays the role of a spiritual leader of the monarch. When the UK faces major choices, it plays a role in "stabilizing the morale of the army".

For example, when the uncertain prospect of Brexit plagued the UK, She said, "Even a small step forward can make a big difference." When the UK was deeply involved in the new crown epidemic, she encouraged the people to "never give up, never despair..."

For many British people, Elizabeth II is not only a noble royal leader, but also a popular "grandmother" . She is kind and calm, and has broken tradition countless times and no longer assumed the role of a rigorous and conservative royal "spokesperson" role.

In many ways, she is a blank canvas where people project ideal happiness and hope, patriotism and pride on the canvas of the queen. Queen Elizabeth II is a kind of family and country feeling of dedication and dedication, which makes her an immortal monarch in world history and will be kept in history!
