Early life
Queen Elizibeths early life was a peaceful one, her family was close and loved being together. Queen Elizebeth was actually never supposed to be queen. Her uncle gave up the crown and was passed down to elizabeth’s dad, and then to her. Any ways, when her uncle gave up the crown, she asked “does that mean that I will be queen?”. And yes, that means you’ll be queen.
Important dates
Some of Queen Elizibeths most important dates are, Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation – June 2, 1953.
- First State Visit to West Germany – 1965. …
- Mining Disaster in Wales – 1966. …
- First ‘Walkabout’ – 1970. …
- Silver Jubilee – 1977. …
- Prince Charles’ Wedding to Lady Diana Spencer – 1981. …
- Visit to China – 1986.
Her personality
Queen elizabeth had a very good sense of humour. for example, when she gave a speech one, the pedestal was sized to a president who was taller than her. So it looked like a talking hat, and when she gave another speech in the same city, she said “I hope you can see me now”!
Her legacy
Queen Elizabeth left behind an incredible legacy, her efforts to modernise the institution of monarchy (and her love for corgis!) She was also the longest reigning monarch.
