and that's just that, that is also her legacy. she was left alex, i'm sorry, we'll have to leave it there. there's so much to talk about. thank you so much for being with us and thank all of you for joining us on the special a d w news program on the death of britons. queen elizabeth daniel winters of next with our business news. but for now, i'll leave you with some images looking back at the life and reign of queen elizabeth the 2nd. ah, people in trucks injured when trying to free the city center. more and more refugees are being turned away as the border. families playing ball with

extreme around 200 people around the world. more than 300000000 people are seeking a boy because no one should have to flee. make up your own mind. w. made for mines. ah ah elizabeth,

the 2nd queen of the united kingdom service of our country for 70 years. this nobody else on earth has that experience. although she was the imperial state, crown, the political power in our kingdom is wielded by others. 14 prime ministers have held office during her reign. tradition demands that once a week, a report to her majesty at buckingham palace all come to find it. one of the most treasured moments of these meetings a strictly confidential he has never ever leaked from buckingham palace ever. um, what a queen i said to a prime minister or prime minister to the queen. we take a look behind the thought and we discover a secret palate gapes rivalries,

but also genuine friendship. ah, the british love the queen, maybe because she doesn't talk about politics. boom often said she's never put foot rome and that is true. but she is understood the importance of silence, of not expressing her opinions of not reacting. ah, ah, 10 downing street is the headquarters of her majesty's government. from here, the prime minister starts every week on a little business trip to buckingham palace for their weekly audience, with the queen. ah. the queen

has already met 14 prime ministers. ah, the 1st was winston churchill. her paternal friend. ah, particularly close was her relationship with prime minister number 5, the labor lefty. harold wilson at the end of the seventy's, the 1st female prime minister, margaret thatcher. b i and lady equally difficult was her relationship with tony blair. ah ah, neither he nor her latest prime minister barak johnson were born when she held her 1st audience in 1950 to waive the rest of us in britain.

love this. we love the idea that once a week, the prime minister, even if we voted for it, has to go a bow than the to somebody. that's his greatest significance of all. that once a week, the powerful prime minister with all his connections and everything has to go and give an account, has to literally bow the knee to somebody who represents something bigger than him. during the audience, the queen listens more than she talks, but she's always well prepared and guides the conversation by asking the right question. ah, ah, during her euston, elizabeth spends many caffrey summers in the countryside. she is a conscientious,

modest down to earth girl. ah, i think the secret to understand. elizabeth 2nd success is to realize she was not born to be a queen. ah, for the 1st 11 years of her life, she was royal. she developed all the reverence for royalty for her grandfather george the 5th. but there was no prospect of her becoming queen, so it never went to a head. i think the fact that she is not a conceited person is the essence of her success. ah. suddenly, in 1936, her grandfather, whom she actually called grandpa england, died to be succeeded by uncle david, as she called him. that was king of with the 8th m. and within months king with the

eights, he's wanting to marry an american divorce. see, he's being thrown out of his job by the british people who's to take his place, the stuttering george, the 2nd hour. he had an enormous respect for the monarchy and the constitutional monarchy in particular. and that's what he inculcated into his daughter ah, but then the 2nd world war breaks out. even during the blitz prime minister, winston churchill and the royal family stay in london to boost the morale of their

people. ah . during the victory celebrations on the 8th of may, 19451000000 britain celebrate elizabeth's family and their prime minister the close relationship between her father and his people and to the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong. soon on the 6th of february 1952, she has to fulfil her pledge. her father died of lung cancer. elizabeth cancels a holiday trip. winston churchill greets her back home. everybody who lived through it will remember the moment when the door opened on this, a young girl appeared at the top the 1st time really of

many occasions in her reign that she brought reassurance to the country. ah, out of respect to her father elizabeth, wait, 16 months before she is finally crowned. on the 2nd of june 1953, 4 months. she's prepared herself at this moment and work through state papers. 3000000 spectators cheered the young woman who at this moment becomes queen of the united kingdom and to 15 other countries. ah, her old friend, winston churchill, becomes her 1st prime minister. ah

78 year old churchill has known elizabeth since she was born. when she was only 2 years old, she already impressed him with her or 40 and thoughtfulness. now, during the 1st audience, it becomes clear that he feels a lot more than just respectful. ha. ah, i think the queen valid my grandfather's experience. and he of course, love queen and he did love her. i mean, he really or his, she aroused in him all his romantic ideas of solemn jay and monica. and the new elizabeth made which he referred to but they also have the different 5th, churchill fought 5 wars for the empire. and he wants to retain britain's global supremacy by force if necessary. elizabeth, on the other hand, favors the loose confederation of states. 5 months after her coronation she

embarked on a well tour to promote the commonwealth. churchill doesn't think much of if i death my grandma was a child. oh, victorian empire. and am you wouldn't expect him? i think to be overjoyed. probably. but he was a pragmatist, churchill, and he understood the movement of events and history and time. but unlike his young queen, churchill finds it difficult to accept britain's new role in the world. he fights against the dissolution of the empire. increasingly, he is plagued by depression. my grandmother tried very hard to get him to retire of law and to end his, his political career and

a great wave of glory. but he couldn't, he was like, no, was she? they couldn't give it all. then churchill has a stroke. officially, he says that he suffers from exhaustion, but elizabeth knows the truth. ah, she must have been very moved by the occasion because, you know, this was her 1st prime minister. she had her name, him all hub natural life. and it was the end of an era, the end of the arrows you say, the emblematic looking back of the under the em. by the way, a signal yara. mm. mm hm. in the years after elizabeth settled into position as head of state each year, she opens parliament in a lavish ceremony. and each year she reads the speech, but she hasn't written. the prime minister puts his words into her mouth. the bay

with time been ref. now done by with, by many millions of miles. elizabeth his britons, best ambassador. she meets marilyn monroe and of the hollywood stars. the queen who doesn't have a passport, makes 43 state visits during the 1st 10 years of her reign. she is britain's most important diplomat. ah, ah, ah, back home her kingdom is in upheaval. the sixty's usher in

a new era, the young rebel against tradition. ah, after decades of conservative rule, the britons want somebody who's a bit more mocking hulu. the new prime minister is called harold wilson, the labor party leader. ah everybody. the establishment were absolutely terrified of wilson when he was in power. i mean, it was, what was he going to do next? elizabeth? conservative advised as warn. ha!

wilson supposed to be a lefty and planned the social revolution. there was quite a lot of trepidation in buckingham palace as to what this chart would be like. but to their surprise, they found that wilson himself was quite a monarchist. a royalist elizabeth advisors forget that harold wilson is not only the leader of the labor party, but also an oxford don wilson, i think, was the 1st to treat her as an equal ah, and, and not looked down on her. and certainly to make it clear that he wasn't looking.
