介绍:
I think Queen Elizabeth represents the continuity between Britain's great past, and its more meddling presence and future. During World War II, Elizabeth was just 14 years old, but she was already making a public appearance to make a live radio broadcast to basically reassure the children and adults that everything was gonna be OK.
It wasn't all red carpets and roses for the queen. Her security was very much upmost in people's mind. In 1982, shots were fired to the queen as she rode on horseback at the trooping of the color. They were blanks but nobody knew it at the time.
In 2012, Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her Diamond Jubilee, marking 60 years of rule as Queen. I think the queen will be regarded by history as a steady hand on an unsteady tiller. During her reign, the Commonwealth changed substantially, people's attitude toward the royals changed substantially, and she kept faith and kept it on a steady footing.
