Elizabeth II was the longest reigning monarch in British history, and while she shouldn't have grown queen in the first place, her history of rule remains fascinating. Why should Elizabeth II not be queen? Because her uncle, King Edward VIII, had no intention of abdicating before marrying a divorced American woman, Mrs. Simpson, Queen Elizabeth would not have been able to become a monarch.
Queen Elizabeth broke the record for the reign of the British monarch, which has something to do with the early death of her father. King George VI was queen Elizabeth's father, who had been dead for a long time, but in the queen's heart, her father gave her a unique way of thinking that influenced her throughout her life. The 93-year-old Queen of England can't even forgive herself to this day because she left home when her father, King George VI, died, a great sadness for a daughter.
Not all daughters have a close relationship with their father, but Queen Elizabeth and her father have a good relationship, and there is a special connection between father and daughter. Elizabeth II was born on 21 April 1926, a full decade before her father became king. After George VI became king, he began to dress his daughter and personally educate her, because he knew that the child would inherit the throne and that they had a common destiny. It is this relationship that makes the relationship between Elizabeth II's father and daughter more intimate.
King George VI delegated more royal responsibilities to the young Elizabeth II, whose father trusted her very much when she was very young. Queen Elizabeth was appointed Counsellor of State at the age of 18 and she had the ability to represent the whole of The Uk in her father's absence. Meanwhile, King George VI was full of anticipation for his daughter, and he expressed dismay at Elizabeth II's decision to marry Prince Philip, who, like many fathers, believed that the son-in-law was not worthy of his daughter.
When King George VI died of lung cancer in February 1952, the British people who heard the news were shocked and saddened, but no one could have been more sad than Princess Elizabeth. Everyone knows that King George VI suffered from a health condition before his death, but no one knows that his limit is approaching. 68 years ago, Elizabeth II was visiting Kenya in place of her father for an important royal event. Prince Philip accompanied his wife and spent time overseas with her.
Elizabeth II wanted her father to recover from his illness and had been happy until his death, taking photos with elephants in Kenya. According to Time magazine, Elizabeth II was so excited that she couldn't sleep because of her intimate interactions with elephants. But when news of King George VI's death spread, her mood was so far off that she shortened her trip and quickly returned home. The next day, she took responsibility for the country as a whole and showed a brave face.
Queen Elizabeth was very sad in private, and what made her even more unforgivable was that she knew about her father's death many hours later than others, and that she had received it from Prince Philip. The 93-year-old queen has been open-minded all her life, but she cannot let go of her father's death, and the father-daughter relationship is touching. Since then, Queen Elizabeth has stipulated that the royal family is required to keep Christmas decorations until February 6 of each year, the anniversary of the death of King George VI. In a sense, Queen Elizabeth has always left the news of her father's death in her memory for a long time!
