This marks the end of an important era for the United Kingdom, as the Queen held the throne for a full 70 years, becoming the longest-reigning monarch. In September 2015, Elizabeth surpassed the record of Queen Victoria, who stayed on the throne for 63 years. Several jubilees were celebrated in her honor: silver, gold and platinum.
Born on April 21, 1926, Elizabeth II's chances of inheriting the throne were almost non-existent, but events were thrown into disarray after her uncle, King Edward VIII, abdicated in 1936, passing the crown to Elizabeth's father, King George VI.
The queen spent her childhood among palace nannies, but her mother, who was a devout Christian believer, had a tremendous influence on Elizabeth's life. In terms of education, she did not attend educational institutions, but took private lessons in British history, law, music, and learned to speak French fluently from an early age. Another benefit from these lessons was walking with horses, for which he had a very special love throughout his life. (But horses weren't the only animals the queen admired. Let's not forget her 30 corgi puppies, who roamed the royal palace.)
Pas vdekjes së të atit, Elizabeth II mori fronin, saktësisht në vitin 1952 dhe mbretërimi i saj për 7 dekada nënkupton se Winston Churchill ishte i pari nga 14 kryeministrat që ajo dekretoi. Mbretëresha ka takuar gjithashtu 14 presidentë të Shteteve të Bashkuara të Amerikës dhe një sërë personalitetesh të famshme dhe me ndikim në botë.
Mbretëresha përjetoi një dashuri të bukur me princin Philip, duke qëndruar së bashku për 74 vite, derisa Philip u nda nga jeta në prill 2021. Çifti kishte katër fëmijë, Charles (i cili gëzon fronin), Anne, Andrew dhe Edward.
Elizabeth II njihej për angazhimet e saj zyrtare, të cilat ndiqeshin me interes të madh në të gjithë botën, apo për solemnitetin, privatësinë me të cilën dëshironte ta jetonte jetën (kritikët shpesh e kanë cilësuar si një grua të njohur nga miliarda njerëz publikisht, por privatisht, totalisht e panjohur), si kokëfortësinë e saj për të jetuar sipas rregullave të veta (edhe kur mjekët e paralajmëruan që të mos merrte pjesë nëpër aktivitete, mbretëresha sërish shëtiste me kuajt e saj).
The reign of Elizabeth II has been filled with many challenges, after the big fire at her royal residence in Windsor, the death of Princess Diana, which significantly shook the public prestige of the royal family, some problems from the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton, as well as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's abdication from royal responsibilities and duties, as well as her husband's death in April 2021.
After her death, experts say the future of the monarchy may face further difficulties and that Charles may not enjoy his mother's popularity.
