In 1981, the 55-year-old Queen of England was riding a dark horse when a 17-year-old boy fired six shots at her, and the gun hit. The Queen of England was unscathed and did not die until September 2022 at the age of 96!
The boy was obviously shot by a gun, but why did the unsuspecting Elizabeth II come out unscathed?
Every year on Elizabeth II's birthday, the whole country celebrates in the United Kingdom. When the queen was young, she would ride a war horse to get close to the crowd, and no one thought that someone would take this opportunity to attack the queen.
In 1981, when Elizabeth II rehearsed before her birthday, as in previous years, she was surrounded by onlookers.
Because the queen is popular in the United Kingdom and there has never been an accident, the public can get close to the queen, and the royal family often appears in the people.
Unexpectedly, just as Elizabeth II was riding her beloved horse to get close to the people, a child was shooting a gun at the queen nearby.
The child, Sargent, who was only 17 years old at the time, stole a pistol from his father and fired six shots at the queen as the crowd turned their attention to her.
The gunshots rang loudly, the queen's war horse was stimulated and jumped, the onlookers were also panicked, and the guards hurriedly rushed towards the place where the gunshots rang out.
Unexpectedly, this particular assassin did not run away, he was there quietly waiting for the police to find and arrest him, with a proud face on his face.
The guards who saw the child were very surprised by his behavior, and they didn't care so much, and arrested the child in public.
I thought that the child had some special hatred for the queen, or was instructed by the evil forces to assassinate the queen.
However, a follow-up investigation found that although the bullet used by the child was loud, it did not cause serious injuries to the queen, and did not even break the skin.
The queen had been trained since childhood, and although she was sitting on her side at the time, she quickly subdued the black horse, and did not suffer any harm from the black horse's irritation.
The police officers, who learned that the queen was fine, relieved themselves and seriously interrogated the little boy. As a result, the little boy behaved very innocently, saying that he was only trying to be the one who shot at the queen, which was an achievement and a pride for him.
It turned out that the little boy's trip was not an assassination, but a fame, because the queen is a well-known figure in Britain and even the world, so the boy wanted to take the opportunity of the queen's birthday to contact the people to shoot her, causing a sensation, and even being recorded in history.
In the end, the boy Sargent was sentenced to three years in prison, and although he was using a fake gun, all six shots hit the queen, and the guards were terrified. If someone did assassinate the queen, they would have lost their heads.
Elizabeth II is undoubtedly a British legend, she was only 13 years old during World War II and experienced the attack on Britain by Nazi Germany.
After that, she took part in World War II herself, and at the age of 21 she was already respected as the eldest daughter of the King of England, who had fought in World War II.
At the age of 26, she officially took over the crown from her father and began her life as a queen. She never discussed politics openly, balanced the power and relationship of various British powers, and was praised by many people, and wore the queen's crown until her death at the age of 99.
The Queen of England also personally injected the new crown vaccine during the epidemic, and is a pro-people queen who spans the century!
