September 8th marks a year since the passing of Queen Elizabeth II
Exactly a year ago, the world was shocked to hear the dismissal of the longest serving monarch of the United Kingdom Queen Elizabeth II.
Queen Elizabeth II died on Thursday 8th September,2022 at Balmoral Castle on her Scottish estate
Her Majesty was born in April 21, 1926, the Princess Elizabeth and her family did not expect that she would one day become Queen. Following the the abdication of her uncle King Edward VIII in 1936, her father acceded to the throne.
When King George VI died in February 1952, Princess Elizabeth became Queen Elizabeth II when she was just 25. Her Majesty went onto to be Britain’s longest reigning Monarch – the only one in history to celebrate a Platinum Jubile
She was 96 years old and had been on the throne since the age of 25
She was the world’s longest-serving monarch, a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She passed away a little over a year after husband, Prince Philip, to whom she was married for 73 years.
Her death marks the end of one of the most successful reigns in any contemporary monarch
Under her reign, Britain’s monarchy did not only survive. It continued to be downright popular and specifically, so was she. The queen has been beloved for decades not for a sparkling charisma or great rhetorical flair, but for her selfless and superhuman ability to give absolutely nothing away. Since the early days of her reign, those who have met her have been struck by her palpable abilities as a performer: what she is performing is not charm, but stateliness. This stern discipline toward her performance means that the queen can and real sense, be all things to all people
Charles, Prince of Wales, is the queen’s eldest son who succeeded her.
