On 21 April 1947, Elizabeth, whose title was still princess, was on holiday in South Africa, far from England.
That was her 21st birthday, and on that day she promised, "My whole life, no matter how long or short, will do my best to serve you and the great royal family."
The original phrase is very naked capital + empire, not our common translation, that is, "to serve the people and the country".
Our official translator still sounds too good.
But 74 years later, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom did not expect that when she fell ill and was hospitalized and the British royal family was in jeopardy, it would trigger a royal survival crisis.
The 95-year-old Elizabeth II was suddenly admitted to the hospital, can the British royal family still survive in the future?
Perennial health, this is the biggest portrayal of the Queen of England's 95-year-old life.
She is not a sick monarch type, and at the age of 95, she has been hospitalized very rarely.
In a word, she is a monarch who does not like to take sick leave.
The number of times you actually have to go to the hospital can be counted on one finger, and the type of disease is not complicated.
The first time was in 1982, when she had a wisdom tooth pulled out.
He was bitten by his own corgi in 1991 and was not hospitalized after treatment.
The second time was in 1994, when she fell off while riding a horse, fractured her left wrist and had to be cast.
However, she thought it was a slight bruise, fell off the horse, and immediately climbed up again, continuing to ride until she rode back to the castle.
After returning, I found that the injury was a bit serious, and after arriving at the hospital, I diagnosed it as a fracture.
On that occasion, it was her second son, Prince Andrew, who attended part of her official duties.
The year before that, in 1993, she had the flu and was not hospitalized.
However, the youngest son, Prince Edward, attended official business on her behalf.
The one time she fell in 2003 was more serious.
Before Christmas that year, she visited the new racecourse and sprained her knee as she walked on an uneven section of the road.
After that, she was treated with medication and chose to walk on crutches instead of going to the hospital immediately for examination.
In the end, because her knees were getting more and more painful, she had to follow the doctor's advice and go to the Edward VII Hospital for hospitalization.
The surgery was performed under general anesthesia, and in addition to removing the torn cartilage in her left knee, the Queen of England also performed skin surgery incidentally.
Therefore, the royal plastic surgeon Wick also took the opportunity of this anesthesia to help the Queen of England cut off some benign diseased tissue, in the brow bone.
When she was discharged from the hospital, the Queen of England was photographed with obvious surgical marks, several stitches at the brow bone, and a bruised nose.
To reassure the outside world, doctors explain that such moles or skin swelling (lumps) become common with age without worrying too much.
After returning from the hospital, she went to Sandringham Manor to recuperate and stayed for a few weeks.
The most recent hospitalisation this year was in 2013, when she stayed one night at a private clinic in London because of severe gastroenteritis.
In 2018, she underwent cataract removal surgery, did it during the day, and went home at night.
In addition to the above medical records + admission this month, the Queen of England has no long-term hospital history, and is really a female monarch who sits on the throne very firmly.
This month's admission was very sudden. But it's normal, after all, she's 95 years old.
It was also her first hospitalization following the death of her husband, Prince Philip.
Stayed for one night.
Went to the hospital on the 21st, and returned to Windsor Castle the next day.
Her family was in London, but there were no reports of family members visiting her.
Just when the whole of England was worried about the queen's physical condition, her grandson, Prince William, the second heir to the royal family, carried his luggage and took the heir of the third, fourth and fifth orders to go on a holiday overseas happily!
go! sea! outside!
Go on a beach trip to another country!
Although the Queen of England only stayed in Edward VII Hospital for one night, the doctor responded that the Queen's examination indicators were good and her mental state was good.
However, several important official duties after the Queen were cancelled and the ambassador's meeting was changed to an online video.
Nor did she go to church on time last week, which is rare because Elizabeth II is the leader of the Church of England.
At the same time, the doctor also advised her to give up the habit of riding horses all the time, and she herself was very unhappy, but she did it anyway. When she went on holiday in Scotland this year, she didn't get on horseback again.
According to all indications, after the death of Prince Philip, the Queen of England's body was very old.
However, she has been very busy in the past few months and continues to fulfill her lifelong commitment to service.
According to the perspective of normal people, the 95-year-old queen, who is old and hospitalized, deserves more care from her family.
But the reality is that none of her family seem to pay much attention to the fact that the elderly are hospitalized.
Prince Harry continued to brush up on his presence in the United States, with no intention of returning. I'm afraid I'm still angry at the moment.
On Prince William's side, the rhythm of the vacation has not stopped.
Originally, his family had traveled in July, and in September, Princess Kate disappeared for a while.
By October, there were not many events.
Nor is it too busy to have a relaxing rhythm on vacation.
But people are going to go, a week, and now they are on the way back.
So, the two royal messages were put together, and it was like this: when the queen was ill, they ignored it and took the nanny to Heathrow Airport.
The British could not understand.
Even the tabloids couldn't read them.
British netizens looked at the map of the United Kingdom, there are beaches everywhere, why can't so many beautiful beaches keep the Duke of Cambridge's family?
They couldn't figure it out for themselves.
In particular, in the case of such a blockade, The heirs of the British royal family would leave the UK and then let taxpayers pay for their overseas trips.
Money, it seems, was not given to them by the wind blowing from England?
The tabloid had an ironclad article criticizing Prince William's overseas vacation, which was not long gone.
It is said that Prince William was angry when he saw it!
So, it didn't come back.
Oh, can you get this familiar feeling?
Prince Charles, on the other hand, may be waiting to attend the summit event cancelled by the Queen.
After all, he was also preparing to take on greater responsibilities.
After Prince Philip is gone, the elderly Queen of England will have to carry the pressure alone, while facing the family members who are pregnant with ghost fetuses, as well as the sons and grandchildren who are troublesome.
In the eyes of the royal family, sooner or later the Queen's hospitalization will happen.
But in the eyes of the people, such a royal family, "don't do it" is getting louder and louder.
In particular, William's threat to the tabloids to delete articles has triggered a new round of discussion about the existence of the monarchy.
The current Queen Elizabeth II, as a monarch, she did a good job, which is recognized.
There are still 27 countries in the world with royal families, but the Queen of England is always the most famous monarch, and her name can be clearly known to the outside world, but it may not be able to say the name of the Thai king.
Up to now, she has encountered too many crises in her current monarchical career, World War II, the collapse of the colonial system, the failure of her children's marriages, the sexual assault of Prince Andrew, Brexit, etc., she has witnessed many historical events, made countless speeches, made many jokes at the banquet table, and she could have talked about many topics.
But in fact, until now, she has not been interviewed by a reporter once.
A relatively rare expression of emotion, or in the fire of Windsor Castle in 1992, the year of the royal family's various divorces, she concluded that "what a bad year", but the original expression is still from Latin!
She has seen dozens of prime ministers and presidents, some of them have passed away, and even the actresses who played the role of queen of England have three batches, and she, Elizabeth II, is still clinging to the throne.
The latest actor is British actress Olivia Coleman, who sees the Queen of England as the ultimate feminist:
She was the head of the family and the one who was printed on coins and banknotes, followed by her husband Philip, who went to repair cars during World War II. Later, when receiving the Saudi king, he insisted on driving him. The other party came from a country that did not allow women to drive, but the queen sped up on the path, frightening the other party and begging her to drive slowly."
However, despite being so strong, she did not provoke any gender war, but continued to perform her duties as a monarch.
No matter how much the challenge Facing Britain, her presence is always a reassuring pill. Firm image, unchanged all year round.
For decades, she wore a comfortable and eye-catching suit, a hat of the same color, a smile, and sometimes a corgi with her, a reassuring picture.
On the other hand, her grandson, Prince William, has gradually exposed his true face of hypocrisy.
At the beginning of the month, Bezos was scolded for not doing environmental protection to save the earth, but instead wasted money in space. But after the scolding, he took a group of people to the plane and went on vacation.
What's more, his grandmother did not go to see him when he was hospitalized at an advanced age, and the outside world questioned that he was also inexplicably silenced...
It's hard to get his word of mouth back to where it used to be.
This time, whether the Queen of England will end the royal family, we still do not know.
But she would indeed be the last female monarch of England at the moment, because the three women behind her were kings.
