The longest head of state in the world today is also the oldest head of state. In 1952, the British Queen Elizabeth II, who was ascended to the Balmoelle Castle in the royal family in Scotland on the afternoon of September 8, local time, enjoyed the year. 96 years old. On the same day, the British royal family announced the news, and Britain mourned.

According to the plan, the new king, the original crown prince Charles, who just took over, met with Prime Minister Tellas, who had just worked, to discuss the queen's future. According to British media reports, Tillas got the news of the Queen's death in her first parliament inquiry. At that time, she and the Labor Party leader received a small yellow note from the staff at the same time, and then left the venue together. Two hours later, the royal family announced the death of the Queen's death.

In 1947, Princess Elizabeth held a wedding with Prince Philip.

"Queen of God" will become "King of God"

According to the queen funeral arrangement that has already been determined, after the British time entered September 9, the coffin covering the flowers covering flowers will be transferred to the banquet hall of Balmoelle Castle for the staff in the manor and they have got along with them. The queen farewell. Most of the summer of the past 70 years, the queen spent in this 7,000 -acre manor, deer, horse riding, fishing, and handling state affairs.

From the moment the Queen died, Charles became the new king of Britain. On the evening of September 8, a royal spokesman said that he was determined to be Charles III. This is beyond the expectations of some royal reporters: Considering that Charles' name is Charles Philip Arthur George. Previously, the royal experts would expect that he might become "George VII". Several royal reporters said in social media that this may be the decision of the royal family's continuation of Elizabeth II's "obeying public opinion", because "for the public, he has always been Charles, not George." This decision also guarantees the stable transition of kingship as much as possible.

On the evening of September 9, local time, after the meeting with Tras, Charles would give a national television speech for the first time as the king. This is also after the Queen's speech on the new crown epidemic in 2020, the British monarch gave a special speech again to the people.

Although the queen's funeral will not be held immediately, both Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace have opened public flowers and messages. On September 8th, the "Sevastopol Clock" captured from the Tsarist Army in the 19th century Crimean war was knocked. In London, the bells of Westminster's church sounded every hour, and Hyde Park began to make rituals.

On September 10, the Queen's Lingyu will be transported to Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. At the same time, Charles was officially served as the King of England. From this moment, the name of the British national anthem has changed from "Queen of God" to "King of God", and the half -flag that the royal family residence will also rise will also rise again.

According to the plan, on September 12, after the public in Edinburgh sorrows to the Queen Ling, the Royal Train will slowly cross half of the UK with the remains of Elizabeth II and arrive in the capital London on the 13th. During the entire process of the Queen Lingyu from San Pankhats Station, and then to the British Parliament Building on the 14th, millions of British people are expected to gather on the streets of London. The climax of mourning is expected to appear during the funeral on September 17, and the queen will be shipped back to Windsor Castle to bury.

On June 2, 1953, Queen Elizabeth II was crowned.

"Without her, everything is different"

After Elizabeth II's death, Harvard History professor and British historical expert Maya Asanov's comments published in the New York Times "Mourning Queen, not its empire" caused huge controversy. Comments pointed out that people should not romantize the Queen's era. The British Empire was cracking in her ruling period, and the international influence of the London government was significantly reduced. The queen has always tried to play a stable symbol in this declining empire.

It is undeniable that maintaining the stability and balance of British society and the Commonwealth is the task that Elizabeth II has worked hard in his later years. In the world of polarization and tear, she tried to avoid favors of any party in all public words and deeds, avoid expressing controversy, and eventually avoid exacerbating national division. "She has done this with extraordinary skills and dignity," said the Guardian.

But this process is not easy. The words and deeds of Prince Philip, the queen husband who died in 2021, frequently caused controversy. Philip Murphy, a professor of history at the University of London, pointed out that the queen's "amazing ability to repeat the equally tedious official activities is of great significance to others." He said that the queen has never resisted this "boring responsibility" and maintains absolute consistency in thousands of activities and speeches. This is her sense of responsibility.

During his 70 -year career, the queen also had several striking bold acts. In 1961, Elizabeth II visited Ghana, a former British colony of the United Kingdom shortly. In the era when she was isolated, she danced with Ghana leader En Cruma, becoming a symbol of the royal family to embrace the new era.

In 1986, the queen became the first head of British national heads to visit China. She visited Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Kunming and Guangzhou, boarding the Great Wall, and admiring the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum.

In April 2020, in the face of the new crown epidemic, the queen performed the fifth time and the last special speech in the country in the ruling career. She acknowledged that the British people lost their family members and suffer from economic difficulties during the epidemic, and used the lyrics "We'll Meet Again" in World War II (we will meet again) to soothe people. After her death, some British newspapers also quoted her own eulogy after the "September 11th Incident": sadness is the price we pay for love. In addition to being cautious, Elizabeth II also made a decision to compromise with the times and public opinion. Her performance after the death of Princess Diana, who is loved by the British people, is well known. After the mourning of the highest specifications of the deceased of the royal family, she admits that the monarchy without the support of the people is unable to survive.

Elizabeth II also has an important decision to open the royal life to the public. The documentary "The Royal Family" in 1969 showed her private life, including dinner and barbecue. The British media regard this as the turning point of the royal family. Since then, every British person has projected his attitude towards daily life to the royal family, and coincides with the queen for marriage, children's growth, and death of loved ones. You can also walk the dog safely and relieved.

In the past two years, the queen was facing dilemma again in the relationship with Prince Diana's son, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan. In the royal crisis caused by Meghan's "racial discrimination", British society expressed a new hope for the diversified reform of the royal family. All this made the queen under tremendous pressure in the last years. British media reports that although the Harry and Meghan couples are unpopular in the royal family, the queen can always talk to Harry. To Harry's heartache, she arrived at the Balmoles Castle after her grandmother's death. The lady of Meghan and Prince William Kate did not arrive at the queen as soon as possible because of taking care of their children.

In the end, the Queen's firmness was reflected in her performance. All kinds of comments highly praised her at the last moment of her life and insisted on appointing the new British Prime Minister Tras. This is reminiscent of the stories that she has adhered to the duty since the new crown epidemic. In October 2021, after the new crown was diagnosed and spent the first night in the hospital, the Queen canceled his travel based on the doctor's order, but returned to Buckingham Palace the next day, and then met the newly -appointed South Korea and Swiss ambassadors through video.

The Guardian pointed out that the time of Elizabeth II's governance is "as long as most people remember", so she brought the British an unprecedented "sense of the times." Whether it is necessary to maintain the monarchy and whether it should maintain the huge expenses of the royal family is a topic of argument in this country. But when the Queen died, the entire Britain realized that in the cold and foggy morning waiting for the funeral of the royal family, they gathered with friends and family to watch the live broadcast of Charles and Princess Diana, William and Kate. The queen appeared as usual, and greeting Merry Christmas with a gentle voice was able to facilitate the tearing of this socially declining empire. With its unique appeal, Elizabeth II already exists in the daily life of each British.

"The royal family is not perfect, and not everyone likes the system, but in most of our lives, this incredible lady has always been a symbol of the country and a symbol of dedication and responsibility to the people. Without her, everything, everything It's different. "An ordinary British wrote on social media.
