nature. Once in protest

poured a can of ink over
her Golden hair

The path to the
throne. Coronation
Before Elizabeth, in line for the Royal
throne was her father and his brother,
Edward VIII. But her uncle abdicated the
succession in 1936 because of his great
love: he decided to marry Wallis Simpson,
who was divorced. King George VI died in
1952. The coronation of Elizabeth II took
place when she was 25 years old. The
British welcomed this news, because the
heyday of the British Empire historically
fell during the reign of women-Elizabeth I
Tudor and Queen Victoria. In addition, the
young Queen confirmed her commitment
to the national interest in her coronation
speech. Her priorities were to take care of
ordinary people.

6. The Queen's love story

The husband of Queen Elizabeth II — Philip
Mountbatten (after marrying the Prince of
Edinburgh) has aristocratic roots. He is a
representative of the Danish Royal family of
Glucksburg, one of the five children of
Prince Andrew and Alice Battenberg. Lilibet
(Elizabeth's pet name) met Philip when she
was thirteen, and immediately fell in love
with a young and statuesque student at the
Royal naval College. He was only five years
older than her, with a magnetism and
charisma that won the young Princess over.
They corresponded throughout the Second
world war (Philip served in the British
Navy). Parents of the Princess hoped that
this hobby will pass and the girl will pay
attention to other chosen ones, but she
showed stubbornness in the matter of
personal life. In 1946, Philip personally went
to see George VI to ask for his daughter's
hand in marriage. To make this possible, he
had to renounce all titles (Danish and Greek
Prince), accept British citizenship, and
convert from Orthodoxy to Protestantism.

her husband was characterized by
restrained tenderness and respect. In
1949, the newlyweds left Buckingham
Palace, moving to the island of Malta,
where Philip was transferred to military
service. Lilibet remembers these years as
the happiest in her life, as she was away
from the difficult state duties, enjoyed
family happiness, experienced the joy of
motherhood. Elizabeth 2's childrenCharles (Prince of Wales) and Anne
(Princess of great Britain) were born two
years apart — in 1948 and 1950, and in
1960 she gave birth to a son, Andrew
(Prince of York, Vice Admiral), and in
1964-Edward (Prince of Wessex).
