Queen Elizabeth’ discipline is legendary, her popularity among the people great. The Queen has always had to reconcile her life with the duties of the Crown and embody the stability of the Royal House in public. She has always mastered these tasks with aplomb.
Her father was still Emperor of India and represented an Empire that encompassed a quarter of the world’s population. The young Princess Elizabeth witnessed one crown colony after another reaching independence. She witnessed the beginning and flowering of the Commonwealth of Nations, which replaced the Empire and of which the British Monarch is still the head today. On February 06, 2022, Queen Elizabeth II will celebrate her 70th anniversary on the throne. Dr. Ulrike Grunewald will look back on the monarch’s reign in pictures.
Elizabeth Windsor is considered as dutiful, humorous, and steadfast. „She has something timeless,“ judges royal expert Robert Hardman. In the lives of the British, she is the symbol of continuity. She is particularly in demand in times of great crisis, as now in the Corona pandemic. For example, she reports on her experiences with the vaccination in a video clip and recommends that her compatriots do the same. One should think of others, not so much of oneself. This is advice that she may have given to her renegade grandson Harry, who has now finally left the Royal Family. Whatever storms are still to come for the aged monarch, whatever revelations she must digest, and whatever changes she must bring about – the British wish her strength. For the nation, it is hard to imagine anyone else wearing Britain’s Crown. „She’s like Big Ben: just there,“ notes Robert Hardman.
