Seeing the world 丨 The whole world lost her

Remove the heavy crown and heavy responsibility, led Elizabeth II, who led the British and even the Commonwealth for more than half a century, and ended her long life on September 8.

She witnessed Britain, from the steam era to the era of smartphones, experienced 15 British Prime Minister from Churchill to Tellas, and met with 14 US presidents.

As early as 96 years ago, no one would think that the first child of Prince Albert, the first child, was so important to Britain and was so important to the world.

At that time, although Albert was a prince, it was not the first heir heir. Therefore, Elizabeth lived a "rural girl" idyllic life.

Until the age of 10, Elizabeth's uncle, Albert's brother Edward VIII, chose abdication for love (insisting on marrying an American woman who had married twice) completely changed Elizabeth's fate. In 1937, Prince Albert was crowned into King George VI. Elizabeth naturally became a quasi -heir of the British royal family.

Elizabeth seems to be selected by fate, with its own halo. As her father said: "In her (Elizabeth II), I seemed to see the shadow of Queen Victoria. I saw a great monarch was born."

In 1940, at the age of 14, she spoke publicly, encouraging those children who lost their family members in the war (World War II), so that the British people felt the power from the royal family in the absence.

In 1945, 19 -year -old Elizabeth directly participated in the assistance of the war. She joined the rear defense support forces, and also learned driving and repairing cars. She became the first car repairman in the British royal family and received the rank of honorary minority.

After the war, Elizabeth began traveling and diplomacy. The most classic scene was a speech when she visited South Africa in 1947. She said, "I think this vow now. What I want to say is very simple. I swear to all of you, I want to use my life -whether it is long or short, serving you Empire family service. "

Five years later, George VI, who was only 56 years old, died of lung cancer. Elizabeth officially began to fulfill her promise -serving British Britain with a lifetime.

Without real power, she used her own influence to unite the British Federal power, so that dozens of Commonwealth countries have strong liquidity in all aspects of trade and tourism. There are records that the Queen has visited at least 126 countries and regions, and many of them have visited many times.

At the Bucking Jubilee celebration of Elizabeth II's 70th anniversary this year, the Australian Governor, which belonged to the Commonwealth, once bluntly stated: As soon as the Queen died, Australia was independent.

Time proves that Elizabeth did live up to her promise 70 years ago. In the world's questioning of the constitutional monarchy and the transformation of the republic, unity and British also kept the public still awe of the monarch.

Of course, Elizabeth is also controversial. Mainly twice. Shortly after the former British Prime Minister Sachel came to power. They are very old and influence, but their images are completely different. One represents the prestige of the ancient royal family, and the other is the success of modern professional women. With the steps of Sachel, such comparisons finally ended. Another occurred in the marriage crisis of Princess Diana and Prince Charles. Princess Diana followed the people, and Elizabeth II did not shook hands with others, always keeping a distance from others. When Prince Charles derailed and divorced, the people's "dislike" of the royal family and even Elizabeth II reached its peak.

But the wisdom's Elizabeth quickly resolved these crises. She no longer kept loneliness and majesty, nor did she keep a distance with the people (the British royal family tradition). After the accent of the upper society, the social media account was opened, and even talked about personal emotional life. As I grow older, Elizabeth II looks like a kind and hard -working old grandma.

Today, where the 96 -year -old grandmother has sleeping in the United Kingdom for more than three centuries of monarchy? Can Charles inherit the throne that squeeze the sound of the royal family? Public opinion is obviously not optimistic about this.

Charles, who was labeled "scum" and "weak" label, is still not welcomed by the British. If it can be selected, it is said that the British would rather be Prince William to the throne instead of his father Prince Charles.

The British "Sunday Post" editor Katie said the most fundamental idea: "Unless the people really embrace you, the monarchy does not have the need to retain, especially the taxpayer spends $ 80 million a year to maintain the royal life of the royal life each year. ","
