Queen Elizabeth II, now 96 years old, has experienced the biggest blow of her life in the past year: the death of her husband, Prince Philip.
This matter must have been too special for the Queen, so at the end of 2021, on December 25, she deliberately mentioned her husband in her annual Christmas address.
In fact, this is really very rare for the queen who has been patient all her life and has always put the country first in her life.
Because of this, it is always difficult to see whether the queen is really happy or displeased.
But this year, the Queen has changed, and in her message, the most personal and emotional messages have been heard: a deep remembrance of her husband, Prince Philip, and a tribute.
"Although it is a time of happiness and joy for many, Christmas is still difficult for those who have lost loved ones, especially this year, and I understand why."
Yes, all feelings come from real experience. When the Queen really experienced the moment of losing my love, she really realized that it was too difficult to get out of that pain.
"For me, in the months since my beloved Philip left, I have received great comfort from greetings to him personally and for work from all over the UK, the Commonwealth and around the world."
The queen's implications are full of tolerance for self-feelings and emotional expressions, but people on the outside can still hear that the queen is deeply missing her husband.
This should be completely understandable, right? The Queen and Prince Philip fell in love and lived together for more than 70 years.
They faced many of life's problems together, discussed politics from the development of the royal family, and spent many Years together and how many Christmases they spent together.
But such a life suddenly ended, an old queen, physically and mentally fragile, but suddenly lost her dependence.
Such a psychology, even if it is the loss of family affection, is enough to make her miserable. Not to mention, Prince Philip was the love of her life?
"His mischievous, root-seeking eyes were as bright as they were when I first met him until the last minute."
This is an affectionate confession, and I am afraid that when the prince was alive, the queen never said such a fleshy love word. It can be seen from this that the queen who has lost the prince has no ability to suppress herself at all.
"For me and my family, despite the lack of a familiar laugh this year, Christmas will still be joyful because we have the opportunity to miss it and see the beauty of the holidays again through the eyes of our children."
The Queen is so affectionate, comforting her inner emptiness by recalling her husband, and finding lasting love through the eyes of her children.
After nearly seventy years on the throne, how could the Queen ever be so blunt? But she is so cute and so respected.
For a large part of the population, Prince Philip is a man of great feud, married to the Queen for more than 70 years, but has created a gossip list of more than 30 lovers.
Among these women are aristocrats from Britain, writers from France, stars from show business, and celebrities from Australia...
Someone said this: Prince Philip of the Iron, Lover of Flowing Water.
However, such a prince, why would the queen love so much that she could not extricate herself? Is the queen really just giving the outside world an illusion?
In her golden wedding address to the prince, she described the prince this way: "Over the years, I, his entire family, and even this country and many countries have owed him far more than we think. ”
Obviously, there is a contradiction and conflict between what the prince has done and what the queen said, and it is no wonder that people feel that the queen has always been in a state of forbearance in this marriage.
But only those who know the Queen know the facts better, "because she understands the special needs of some men, and that doesn't mean they don't love their wives anymore." ”
Therefore, even if the queen was not happy with the scandal of the prince outside, even if there were many conflicts with the prince, they never gave up on each other.
Remember what happened when the Queen's sister, Princess Margaret, died?
The queen was very sad, and what was the prince doing? Obviously, he is indulging in the warmth of some noblewoman and having fun together.
The queen was very upset about this, but what? Is it still living a life of love with the prince in the eyes of the outside world?
It can be seen that the queen's love for the prince has long exceeded the "selfish" possession, and she can recognize some of the prince's behavior and understand some of the prince's feelings.
After the death of the prince, the queen unexpectedly added the prince's most important confidant in his life to the list of small numbers of funerals.
Such a queen is probably the real love master: who do you love I can't force, but I love you, past, present and future, whether there are other women around you, I will love you as always.
"It's hard to say how to praise him, but it's also very simple, he is the source of my strength and has been guarding me for so many years."
When she said this, the queen's eyes were full of tears, just like the little princess who fell in love with the prince and was determined to hold hands with him. But fate is so changeable, the princess who dares to love and dare to hate has become a queen, and her life is destined to dedicate more to the country.
Under such circumstances, whether the prince changed his mind or not was no longer within her control.
On the contrary, it is very rare that Prince Philip can uphold his identity for so many years and worship his wife as queen, right?
In the footage of the prince's memories, the attentive person sees a small detail: the queen wears a sapphire chrysanthemum brooch. Also known as the Clematis brooch, it comes from the time when the Queen and the Prince were engaged: July 10, 1947.
The reason why the queen loves this brooch so much is because it bears witness to her marriage with her husband from the beginning to the end, and it is given special meaning by the queen: I miss you.
In fact, if you take a closer look at the Queen's accessories, you will understand that this brooch queen wears many times, such as during the honeymoon of marriage, such as on the wedding anniversary, such as when the prince was hospitalized before his death...
This is the Queen, who loves the Prince deeply and takes it to heart. But sometimes for the sake of state, she had to create an unacceptable barrier with the prince.
The prince may really have had an affair with other women many times, but he seems to have never forgotten his special position as the queen's "husband", and has placed himself behind women all his life, silently supporting the queen's career.
The prince is gone forever, and the only thing that accompanies the queen may be those memories of the past, as well as the ornaments and photos that accompanied them through love...
Look at the wedding anniversary photos on the Queen's desk, it is a kind of wordless love.
It will support the queen in the future, and it will also give the queen more courage: the life with you to remember is the greatest comfort in my life.
The Queen is so affectionate that we can only wish her strength.
