she was successful because she well knew and understood the uniqueness of her position, i think the most important thing for a monarch is to always remain a model of stability and fulfill other endless duties, she completely devoted herself to service as she herself understood it, it lasted her whole life 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days for a year it was something that could not be turned off and then turned on and so all the time for almost everyone in this country it is very strange that she is no longer the queen, they will get used to this for a very long time, i declare before you

that my life for as long as it lasts will be dedicated to serving you and our great imperial family to which we all belong in front of 135 million people she was crowned as queen elizabeth ii and head of a commonwealth that included a third of the male- dominated planet's population her majesty became one of the world's youngest her model for leaders was elizabeth i, a truly legendary queen, people sought as much as possible to be in the light of her glory and in one way or another to divide her, and i am sure that

without her this nation would never have been as united as now there today we need special courage, but not the kind of courage that needs to be done, but the kind that forces us to stand up for everything we have , for the defense of honor and truth, courage that can withstand the insidious influence of cynics and will enable us to show the world that we are not afraid of the future tribute to her her majesty queen elizabeth ii in june

1953, after the untimely death of her father, she was crowned as queen elizabeth ii, unexpectedly she had to immerse herself in centuries-old lush rituals and traditions, leading the united kingdom and commonwealth at the age of 25 she became the most famous woman in the world but outside of politics she was also an integral part of the life of every briton when she was born in april 1926 no one expected it she was of royal blood but no one considered her the future queen here she is princess elizabeth only the third in line for the throne as a child she was very focused

in society she attracted the attention of society at the age of 5 during a photo shoot she never went to school and had no ordinary friends instead elizabeth remained in the company of her younger sister, princess margara, she grew up surrounded by love and care, but as queen maria said, within reason, and she joined the girl guides and sea rangers, a serious girl , the royal daughter, at the age of 10, plunged into a world where strict military and hierarchical rules were in force means duty confirmed ready for inspection colonel of royal grenadiers princess elizabeth it was her first public appearance ceremony at winder castle celebrating her 16th birthday princess elizabeth inspects

of the royal grenadiers as an honorary colonel after the ceremony there were informal talks and this final record of the event is the final record of the events of 1944 at the queen elizabeth hospital in hackney she made her first televised speech needless to say how proud i am to be associated with this hospital i feel that this a very long and strong connection, but no speech revealed her qualities and faith better than the speech in the republic of south africa on her 21st birthday when she took the oath to serve britain i declare before you that my life, as long as it lasts, will be dedicated to serving you and

our great imperial family to which we all belong, help me god and bless all who will be with me all this from ii she said i swear to serve you and by the way you this not just the people of london or even england it's the whole empire that turned into a commonwealth then everyone understood that the sense of duty for the queen stands above everything else it's more important than families and motherhood she brought a vow of service but where did it come from a sense of duty it all began as a child in 1935 she watched the silver jubilee celebrations of her grandfather king emperor george v and then in dramatic and even scandalous circumstances her

father took his brother's place this is windsor castle now after my brother took my place i first of all want to assure him of my loyalty and you must believe me when i say that i consider it impossible to bear the heavy burden of responsibility without the help and support of a woman whom i love the history of the british isles and in general the history of the monarchy was crossed out by a deep furrow . edward viii was on the throne for only 325 days. he became the first british monarch to abdicate and he did it in order to marry a twice- divorced american woman, willa simpson. he had no children, so the crown passed to his younger

brother, the duke of york. he was an exemplary family man and happily married to lady elizabeth, who bore him two daughters , elizabeth and margaret, from a sentence in december 1936 caused a political crisis, she divided the nation and even questioned the existence of the monarchy for a stable and regulated society and an institution that is at the top of its political and administrative system - this is a terrible shock. even now in more secular times when divorce has become more acceptable, everything is not too simple, and in december 1936 it was still a lightning strike when king george the sixth ascended the throne the princesses moved to buckingham palace when elizabeth was told about it she was scared and asked what is this forever does that mean

you will be queen asked her sister the princess margaret must have heard that in response that he she was born in a really happy family they had dogs when they had a wonderful family life they felt safe and loved each other until suddenly the stable and calm life ended and they had to leave a comfortable private house in piccadilly and the whole family had to get used to it before that she took it seriously i think she chose an example with her parents and her mother was absolutely critical of her understanding of what a monarch should be growing up she watched her father who had to

to overcome his own shyness in order to lead the empire on the eve of the war, he did various practical things, worked with the documents of the ministry of foreign affairs. and she watched all this, that is, she accepted all the main components of the government from him. of course , she happened on state affairs in 1939, when the war began, they proposed plans for immediate evacuation princesses elizabeth and margaret to canada, but their mother, queen elizabeth, said the children cannot go anywhere without me. i will never leave the king and the king will never leave his country. during the day, 35,400 enemy aircraft carried out two air raids on london and southeast england while her parents worked returning to windsor castle on a foolish night elizabeth watched her mother

speak to the press trying to raise the morale of her compatriots and in october 1940, together with her sister, she made the first appearance at radio thousands of you in this country have been forced to leave your homes and be separated from your parents my sister margaret rose and i share your feelings because we too know what it's like to be away from those you love meaning speech consisted in the fact that she wanted to say that she understood how difficult it was for her peers, then probably everyone saw for the first time what would bother her in the future in 4 years. 18-year-old princess elizabeth contributed to the victory and joined the women's auxiliary territorial corps. i believe that when a person during war joins

any kind of armed forces it affects her greatly brotherhood common courage and duty is extremely important when your family is on the throne and in times of trouble she fights together with in the rest of ukraine, her majesty's experience gained during the second world war greatly influenced her. i believe that she will forever remember how the entire commonwealth came to the aid of the united kingdom in its worst times. on victory in europe day, the king addressed the people of britain of the british empire and the commonwealth of nations. the queen and i know what trials the entire commonwealth and empire went through. people from

six corners of the then british empire, on their own initiative, helped defend the united the kingdom, because for them it was a symbol of freedom almost to the very end, london and southern england remained under fire. of course, london had every right to celebrate the victory, and it exercised this right. on may 8, 1945, after the announcement of victory in europe, the crowd greeted the king. the crowding of the street, we went out on the balcony six times every hour, and then when the spotlights were directed at us, my sister and i realized that we couldn't see how the crowd was rejoicing, then we asked our parents if we could go to go there and see it all for myself i remember rows

of unknown people holding hands walking past white hall we all felt joy and relief crossing green park we stopped and chanted with everyone we want to see the king it must have been one of the most memorable nights in this new post-war phase of my life, the princess became a girl in love who gave her heart to a naval officer, lieutenant philip maugbeten, to an impoverished prince from the greek royal family in exile. they started talking about them at my wedding in october 1946. rokutsky is waiting for the arrival

of the royal family's car. there was a famous photographer who published a photo of how he took her fur coat at the door of romsey abbey. began to suspect something, this is a special film created with the permission of the royal family and the fiance of princess elizabeth in response to the ambassador for the interest of the world public in the upcoming royal wedding scheduled for on november 20, in the evening of westminster abbey, a londoner who had been waiting for several hours near the palace was welcomed by the council. when they went out on the balcony, the royal wedding on the wedding day, a huge crowd gathered, a thousand people came even in the evening, others came at dawn, all of them want to see and greet the royal procession . the wedding became a fantastic event, you can

take an ordinary wedding and increase the ceremony a hundred times, but here the wedding atmosphere has covered the whole country. philip for a husband for a husband to be with him to be with him from today forever from today not always together with the king and queen in the wedding procession went queen mary prince andrew of greece mother of the groom and king hakon of norway the wedding was the first bright public event after the war which was attended by the members of the royal families of europe and how it reminded the almost forgotten times of the greatness of britain and now everyone congratulates the happy couple who went out on the balcony what an amazing princess today she is simply charming in this in an incredible dress and seems very happy next

to her husband, they both plunged into life under constant vigilance when the newlyweds set off on a journey where every smile, turn of the head or wave of the hand was painstakingly filmed, she completely relied on his sense of humor advice and immediacy was a stunningly happy marriage of theirs connected love and it never stopped they both had a rare quality as individuals and spouses to always consider the other first who i think sharing a very important they really always thought about each other and one never interfered in constitutional matters , government affairs, etc., but he was always very

helpful by offering ideas that showed his views on things the duke of edenburgh flies to malta on saturday at danalia airport you see such a viking with the royal emblem on board his royal highness prince philip the duke of edinburgh a lieutenant of the royal navy went to serve in malta the young couple princess elizabeth and prince philip spent their happiest days on the island of malta relatively freely and relatively privately i think it was a wonderful experience for the princess how you can lead a completely anonymous life because people were very prudent and realized that they do not want different treatment i think it was a very special experience how you can actually lead a normal private life on the maltese prince became interested in the game of

polo and the princess found her hobby, she filmed what she loved most in the life of horses and her husband, and the dynasty needed children, and here is prince charles of edinburgh for the first time in the last two the centenary of the prince in the line of succession to the throne was named charles a year after the wedding , their firstborn appeared in the family's home videos, it was a rare opportunity to see the princess so gloriously cheerful and defenseless, she led an ordinary life without the restrictions of ceremony, because her purpose was always to fulfill public duties instead

prince charles was already the future king in the cradle. and in two years, a second child was born. it was the first public appearance of the one-month-old princess anna, but she had no idea about it, but soon the family suffered a terrible blow in 1952, king george vi became seriously ill, he sent his daughter with her husband on a trip to australia and new zealand, they had to return through kenya, that was the last time she saw her father in kenya, prince philip informed the queen of the death of her father, they say that dear to london, she could not hold back tears, looked out the window and thought about the future. britain was already waiting for her. the death of the king,

who was only 56 years old, changed her life forever. the 25-year-old mother of two small children went to throne i think it's a shocker that in many ways it was a terrible shock just imagine at this age she hoped she had plenty of time for completely different things for the family and children and in order to prepare she can protect the queen hip hip hooray the planning lasted 16 months but the second in june 1953, the coronation of queen elizabeth ii shocked the country, which was still in the conditions of the post-war and harsh economy, which filled the large

squares with representatives of all the countries of the commonwealth of nations. it was the first television broadcast. in this country at that time, the bbc was the only television network in western europe, the broadcast became an extremely bright and positive event, the carriage that everyone was waiting for finally appeared and the crowd burst into applause. praying in front of the main altar is a very deep symbolism when the head of state makes a vow to the god before others make a vow the queen accepted the

anointing of blessing and consecration and anointed you before god and the law, for her it was the exact moment when she became queen at the ceremony, something that has hardly changed in more than a thousand years, the queen was crowned by the christian faith. it was of great importance to the queen. she always remained strict , followed the rules and went to church. i believe it was in she was laid from the very beginning and i think that perhaps the most interesting thing for the queen was that she

always wondered why other people do not have the same faith as her, this day is coming to an end and i know that i will remember it not only because of the solemnity and beauty ceremony" from the bottom of my heart i thank you all god bless you a special moment one of those moments that will be remembered for a long time she was together with her bright consort prince philip she had a lot, but glitter - that's not all 27 million viewers watched the telecast of the ceremony but not these to a private family moments that the queen took personally behind the scenes

of buckingham palace, they remind us that monarchy and family are one and the same four-year-old prince charles became the first child to watch his mother's coronation sitting on in the lap of her own grandmother, princess anne was still too young then. i will never forget how we were still very small and were bathing in the bathtub and she came in and tried on the crown before the coronation, an amazing moment, i will never forget it . 14 other independent states , she also became the head of the anglican church , the royal navy, the army, the royal air force, and, of course , the commonwealth, all the weight and about one of the last powerful monarchies of the world fell on the weak

young shoulders, the beginning of her reign was a golden time, she and prince philip went on a trip to the countries of the commonwealth, in particular to australia and new zealand , she first visited australia in 1954 when i was 14 or 15 years old, and now the queen came to the throne and the visit caused a what a curiosity it was a landmark event i think people treated her so well because her love for the commonwealth was evident she cherished every bit of that territorial empire as every bit of her united kingdom the queen and mother elizabeth ii became the first british sovereign since the time of queen victoria who combined these roles while

on the throne in 1960. prince andrew appeared. four years later, prince edward and princess anne were 15 and prince charles at 17. as the heir to the throne, prince charles received the title of prince of wales when they were still boy, so that he would better understand the meaning of the title at the request of the queen, formally the investiture ceremony took place when he was already 20. i remember being a little nervous when they told me that i would have to go through the whole castle with that heavy and unusual crown on head eventually i had to go to mother kneel before her get no information i am charles prince of wales i become your forever fun i think it was a very solemn touching and humbling

moment according to the rules of the new times they were much closer to their people than ever in a few weeks before the investiture, two-thirds of the population had the opportunity to follow the daily life of the royal family on tv screens, this gave an understanding of how the royal family lived in the 1960s, i kept wondering if we would find something for sapphires before of a silver bouquet so it's easy, the main thing is not to forget about it, as if a tiger is growling. let's go to the others, let's go, let's join the others. how the queen managed to combine maternal duties with the duties of a monarch was unknown for many years, but her children

kept quiet about it. we didn't talk about vacations at all. we always spent them somewhere at home to begin with because there was everything she liked the countryside, dogs, horses. she liked to be there. and it was also an opportunity to avoid the watchful eye of the public, i have very warm memories about childhood in scotland about a ball, the sea in the summer and everything else. yes, i was extremely happy that i had such a mother. she always remained a queen and that was extremely important for all of us, but she was also my mother, that's how i remembered her the happiest times when we were together we went on vacation and

sandringen remains my favorite places to show because when we came there we were a real family why did you do it because it will stay that way she was always interested in everything what i was doing i remember when i went to school or somewhere else she always said that i should behave like everyone else , she worked a lot that's why we never saw her during the day, only in the evenings when all the other families got together we could see my parents on weekends and we could also go to the hungarian castle together, we'll see if she's strong enough now unfortunately i had some applications that were not paid attention to, we always remained in priority
