On September 8, local time, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom died at the age of 96.
According to the Guardian, Charles, 73, is now king of The United Kingdom. Charles has been at the top of the British succession sequence, and from 1952 to 2022, Charles was the world's longest-awaited Crown Prince. Charles's eldest son, Prince William, has become the first heir to the throne, and in the future he will receive the title of Prince of Wales by his father.
Queen Elizabeth II was born in 1926, before World War II. He ascended the throne in 1952.
Elizabeth II
The matters concerning her are summarized in the following five points:
Article 1: The longest-reigning and oldest monarch in the world.
His 70-year reign was 9 years longer than that of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. In these 70 years, she has stayed away from political strife and firmly grasped the delicate balance of politics, and if she is separated from politics, she will lead her royal family to influence her sphere of influence.
Second, she was not the heir to the throne, but she inherited the throne.
When she was born, the throne was in the arms of her uncle Edward, and she had no connection with her father. Just like Liu Heng, the acting king of the Han Dynasty, was originally just a prince, the throne was only in the line of Emperor Hui of Han, creating and manipulating people, catching up with Emperor Hui of Han, the Lü clan had just disappeared, and Liu Heng suddenly opened the rule of Wenjing.
Back to Elizabeth II, since she is not the heir to the throne, then the follow-up education is aristocratic lady education, tutors teaching, writing, history, French, piano, dance, etc., read a lot of books, read the British Dickens, read the English Channel on the other side of the Tudor, Molière, but also learned the British Constitution, this is the standard British lady building model. To this day, a large number of families in our country have created Chinese-style ladies according to this model.
Of course, a lady is a lady, she also has a non-lady's side, riding a horse without a helmet, driving without a license in the manor, racing cars, driving trucks... Of course, people are aristocratic royal ladies.
In 1936, Edward VIII gave up the throne for love, abdicated, about the love story of this brother, can write several big baskets, here will not repeat, anyway, this brother did not do it, let his brother take over. Thus, the confused Duke of York, a naval officer, became George VI. At that time, the fascist trend was sweeping across the European continent, France, Britain, Germany, Italy, these old European countries were pregnant with ghosts, the whole of Europe was in chaos, and then World War II broke out. She followed her king father, comforting and encouraging the people, and learned a lot from her father. Therefore, those of us fathers who have daughters, your words and deeds, the children are all looking in the eyes, they are learning, you are good, she learns good, you are evil, she learns evil, what words and deeds are taught, this is it.
In 1952, George VI died of illness, and Elizabeth rushed back from Kenya to succeed her, Elizabeth II. When he succeeded to the throne, the public figures who dominated the world, Churchill, de Gaulle, Stalin, Truman, Mao Zedong... An era dominated by giants. From austria-Hungary to Tsarist Russia, from puppet Manchuria Puyi to Ottoman sultan, all the way to see the collapse of the huge Soviet Union, this weak woman with a fragmented Britain, from Churchill to Thatcher, to Blair, to Tesla Rattras... Survived the monarchy crisis, survived the Cold War Iron Curtain, as long as you live longer, more will be sent away.

Third, Diana's death
Speaking of the British royal family, it is necessary to mention Diana. It's a very controversial character, and to be honest, Diana is beautiful. Unfortunately, she is unfortunate, the scumbag Charles does not love her, it is only a political marriage, and the two belong to the Tao and do not conspire. Later, she died, the car accident, the story here, has been dressed ups and downs, mysterious, there are royal murders, there are love killings, there are mine assassinations, photographers interfere, doctors deliberately delay, and there are fraudulent deaths, there are many opinions. Of course, as of today, the death of Diana is still a secret, the case is pending, as her mother-in-law Elizabeth II is also gone, this incident may be a long, long time to come, will be people's after-dinner talk, unsolved mystery.

Fourth, it took a lifetime of balance
If Elizabeth II had lived in China and learned the Chinese way of balancing, she might have been even more invincible. She is reserved, commoner and does not lose the solemnity of the queen, not only to be a king, but also to be a wife, but also to be a mother, under multiple identities, she sought a balance between herself and the royal power, balanced for 70 years.
Even if he died, he also died in Scotland, which is very intriguing, and the last moment of life is for the British Isles to be tied together and not separated. But for Tesla, who just took office, no, Stella, no, no, Rates... Forehead...... For Ms. Tras, it is not a good thing, the country's "stabilizer" is less, the pound once fell sharply, and the political and economic situation in the United Kingdom is not optimistic. Charles became king, and it didn't help, he was much weaker than his mother, and the negative news was greater than the positive, it was difficult to affect the world today, maybe was the peak of the past era.
Fifth, when the Queen dies, where is Britain going?
Elizabeth II died and Prince Charles immediately succeeded him as King of England, in favor of Charles III. The Queen's funeral is in preparation and is probably the most prestigious international funeral of the year.
The constitutional monarchy began in Britain, and Elizabeth II, the most influential constitutional monarchy in the world today, is gone. This system, Liang Qichao, a few of them did not succeed, was destroyed by the old lady of Ci, the British did it, and the Japanese did it. Asia now has Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Bhutan, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait; In Europe, there are Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, Andorra, Monaco, Andromeda, Lieston; Africa has Morocco, Lesotho; The Americas include Canada, the Bahamas, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Jamaica; Oceania is home to Tonga, Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Tuvalu and the Solomon Islands. Mom, don't look at it, don't know, look at it and be shocked, there are so many, accounting for more than 18% of the total countries and regions in the world. Of course, most of them have no sense of existence, and even Canada listens to the British royal family, and it is estimated that not many people know. Australia and New Zealand are also Commonwealth countries and also respect the British royal family. These royal families, except for Elizabeth II, are estimated to have few presences.
Old people in Britain, with pictures of kings or queens on mantelpieces, say goodbye before going to bed. For young people in their twenties, there is already little interest in the royal family, they are interested in republicanism. Supporters and opponents each express their own views, as if they were both right. For those of us foreigners, their royal family may be out of a love of tourism, a novelty of historical relics. For Commonwealth countries, Wang zai, ideological consistency, work exchange is easier. Of course, Britain's constitutional monarchy will continue to exist, and when it will end, there is no sign of it at present. Good and bad are relative, depending on the suitability, existence is reasonable.
Let's just follow the party.
