Elizabeth II, Queen of United Kingdom - Varga Áron (8.a) 

Elizabeth II, Queen of United Kingdom

 

Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor was born in 1926 April 21, London. Her father is King George VI.

In the second world war, she and her family evaculated to Canada to avoid the frequent air bombing by the Luftwaffe.

She married Prince Philip in 1947

When King George VI died, in 1952, she was only 25 years old, and she became the queen.

Her children are Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward and Prince Charles the would-be king.

Hermost famous appearance is the Christmas speech. Every X-mas she sums up what happened that year, and takes a few kind words to people. Her speech included sad things twice, in 1997, when Princess Diana died and now, in 2021, when Prince Philip, Elizabeth’s husband is dead.

Here is a quote from the speech:

„Although it’s a time of great happiness and good cheer for many, Christmas can be hard for those who have lost loved ones. This year, especially, I understand why.”

„But for me, in the months since the death of my beloved Philip, I have drawn great comfort from the warmth and affection of the many tributes to his life and work – from around the country, the Commonwealth and the world. His sense of service, intellectual curiosity and capacity to squeeze fun out of any situation – were all irrepressible. That mischievous, enquiring twinkle was as bright at the end as when I first set eyes on him.”

She is the most famous woman in the world, but she is very old, 96 years old, but we wish her the best.

Long live the Queen!
