Queen of England is almost universally recognized as an elegant, gentle, stoic, and determined female figure. Even if it has a long standby time, it is still loved and respected by people all over the UK and even more.
But the real queen, definitely more than just looks at this merit, she is tolerant, very good temper, which is also a recognized reality of the royal family.
As the Queen's assistant, Peggy Hoss had the most say in this. Of course, she died at the end of 2018, and through the legend of her friend, she can still witness the Queen's distinctive gentle personality.
"At that time, Peggy and another makeup artist named May Prentiss were always vying to get the Queen's attention, and there were often arguments."
Peggy's friend said so.
Indeed, there are many right-hand men at the Queen's side, and Peggy is the Queen's most trusted one. Then there's her royal makeup artist, May Prentice, who can be called an important figure in the Queen's assistants at the same time as Peggy.
Usually, Peggy and May are a good partnership, but when it comes to the question of who is more important to the queen, they will have a fierce quarrel.
During Halloween, Peggy and May quarrel irrepressibly again, and they quarreled more and more fiercely, so much so that they woke up the queen who had already fallen asleep.
The Queen has a thousand and one constant habits: every night at 11 o'clock she must go to bed. But that night, she seemed to have "insomnia", and Peggy and May's quarrel was so "lively" that she couldn't sleep at all.
So, just as Peggy and May were arguing, they found the Queen coming downstairs in her pajamas and a blanket.
This year, the queen was 92 years old, and she was woken up in the middle of the night, which was not a good feeling.
This startled all the staff: Peggy and May were arguing near the Queen's bedroom, which had seriously affected the Queen's rest.
But the queen didn't seem angry, she just went to the staff lounge alone, and said helplessly, "I have to sleep for a while." ”
Having said this, the queen herself lay down on the couch in the lounge, did not disturb the rest of the others, and quietly "borrowed" the staff's couch.
This is the queen of good tempers, and when her important employees quarrel, she gives them the fullest freedom.
"Obviously, Peggy and May quarreled so much that the Queen couldn't sleep, but she didn't interrupt them, she liked Peggy, so she couldn't bear to criticize her."
Peggy was so old that she forgot all about the fact that the queen needed to rest.
As the queen's most intimate and trusted assistant, it was obviously a dereliction of duty.
Fortunately, the queen did not pay attention to this. Although she is also an elderly person, she is very understanding of the necessary quarrels between employees and finds a uncomfortable sleeping space for herself.
This kind of tolerance can actually be seen in Prince Philip, which is the characteristic of the queen, married for more than 70 years, if it were not for this tolerance, they would not have been able to go so far in their marriage.
The "wrong things" that Prince Philip has done in his life are clear and countable: lingering away when the Queen was difficult to give birth, having scandals with many women, and a large pile of confidants...
Each of these is a reality that is unacceptable to women in marriage, but the queen has never been angry with the prince because of it, and has been understanding for many years, and her love is as usual.
This is reminiscent of what she once said in a Christmas message:
"Even with the deepest ingrained differences, we should respect each other, treat each other as fellow human beings, and always take a good step towards greater understanding."
Such a queen is the reason why people love it so much.
Some people have said that if it were not for the queen's rule, the British royal family would have been banned a long time ago. This is an exaggeration, but it is a testament to the Queen's lovely reality.
Of course, the queen is not only good-natured and extremely tolerant, but also an old man with humorous cells, and she always carries a sense of joy that others cannot ignore between her actions and words.
The BBC once did a show in which the Queen was invited to the scene to "appear" during the broadcast of the documentary "Coronation".
At that time, the queen sat very calmly in the live broadcast room and watched the coronation video with the host, chatting easily while watching it.
The host praised the ceremony: "It's really good, everyone's movements are very precise, there is no mistake." ”
Unexpectedly, the queen actually replied directly: "That's not it, after rehearsing so many times, of course they all know what to do", which is also too blunt, right?
To set off the atmosphere, halfway through the video, the TV station asked out the St. Edward's Crown that the Queen had worn when she was crowned that year.
It was the Archbishop of Canterbury himself who put it on the Queen's head.
Because the significance of this crown is so important, to this day, only the Queen Herself, as well as Canterbury, and jewelers who specialize in the maintenance of the crown can touch it.
According to the Queen herself, she had worn the crown only once.
After the coronation was completed, she only saw it once through the glass cover in 1994 and has never encountered it again.
Perhaps because of this, the queen was a little excited to see the crown invited out in the show.
She stood up and approached the crown, and while looking at it, she said wistfully, "Is this thing still that heavy?" ”
With that, the queen even reached out her hand to "knock" on the crown, and then said decisively: "Sure enough... I felt like it weighed a ton when I wore it. ”
Looking at it, the queen seemed to have made a new discovery, and she said to the host, "You see, the gold border of this thing is really solid." ”
That said, it is the crown of the king, can it still wear a plastic ping-pong ball like Prince Charles? But the Queen clearly hasn't finished her humor yet, and she continues to comment on the crown's design.
"You see this looks the same before and after... Anyway, I can't tell which side of this thing is in front of and which side is behind."
Although this does not sound very serious, it shows the pleasant and humorous side of the queen herself.
Such a queen, although she has always been high, has also incarnated a kind and easy image, and only those who have really come into contact with her can probably appreciate the grounded side of her body.
Today, the queen is still on top, but a little lonely, a little sad.
Because she lost her husband, lost her girlfriend, and even lost some of her health. When people live to a certain age, their hearts will inevitably be surrounded by loneliness.
This is obviously the case with the Queen, and the fact that the extra long standby has made the entire royal family safe and secure, but it also makes her lonely.
