Speaking on behalf of the Oxford Conservative Association at the annual meeting of the Conservative Party in 1948.

He became the presumptive heir to the royal family in 1936.
He married Prince Philip in 1947.
He became monarch of the United Kingdom in 1952.
She is queen of England, Elizabeth II.
Is the relationship between these two influential women in the UK who have a brilliant career in their respective fields really as discordant as reported?
According to various sources, Thatcher had great respect for the Queen, performing lower than everyone else when performing the knee salute at Buckingham Palace, always arriving 15 minutes early at Tuesday's regular meetings, and even calling her "the most obedient servant".
Moreover, under Thatcher's rule, britain's economy is also developing upwards, such as a prime minister who is extremely loyal and capable to the queen, but he is not recognized by the queen, and many newspapers have also reported that the relationship between the two is delicate.
In fact, the contradiction between the two was born at the first meeting.
In 1979, Thatcher became the first female prime minister in British history, and it was customary for her to go to see the Queen, and it was this meeting that laid the first impression of each other.
The conversation was not pleasant, as Thatcher's words offended Queen Elizabeth.
The Queen generally uses "we" in conversation, and Thatcher does not shy away from using "we".
Although the Queen did not explicitly express her dissatisfaction with Thatcher, the conversation left a very bad impression on the Queen's mind.
Then, when the queen invited Thatcher to the Scottish Highlands for a vacation, the two agreed to go hunting, but because Thatcher did not understand aristocratic life, he wore the high heels he usually wore, and the suit went to the appointment.
The queen said that she did not understand, and the two broke up unhappily, which caused the two to have a conflict in their way of life.
The most fundamental contradiction between the two is the difference in political views, and after Thatcher came to power, he adopted thunderbolt measures, adopted liberalism, and abolished the welfare of society.
This move of hers caused dissatisfaction from all walks of life, and even many workers went on strike and marched against Thatcher's policies, and even then Thatcher was indifferent.
Forced by the helplessness of many people to petition Queen Elizabeth, the benevolent queen agreed to the people's request and made many requests to Thatcher, but Thatcher sneered at the queen.
There is no doubt that Thatcher's political moves are correct, and the situation in Britain is getting better and better, but this still does not ease the relationship between the two of them, and the two of them are like water and fire.
Even if Thatcher's ability was unquestionable, the queen was always merciful and generous.
Their contradictions also reached their peak on the commonwealth issue, which was the face of the British Empire that the Queen vigorously defended, but Thatcher did not think so, saying that the Commonwealth was backward and hurt the people.
The Queen was strongly dissatisfied with Thatcher's behavior, and at the same time the press secretary made the news of Thatcher's discord with the Queen public to the newspaper.
This makes the relationship between the two people displayed in the public eye, for everyone to discuss.
The two are only one year apart, and as women who are also influential in British politics, why do they frequently disagree?
The most fundamental reason is still caused by different growth environments.
Thatcher was born on October 13, 1925, at one North Prade Road, Grantham, Lincolnshire, in her father's little shop.
During the Great Depression, the family had to work hard, and unlike we think, Thatcher was born into an ordinary family, which could even be said to be poor for the social environment of the time.
This is why she paid so much attention to living facilities after becoming a member of parliament, and even said in an interview: "When I was a child, my dream was to live in a big house with complete infrastructure. ”
Thatcher's political life also benefited from her father's enlightened educational philosophy, which led her to the best primary school in the area.
As a teenager, Thatcher showed her extreme perseverance, because she hated the sour smell of the school toilet, she insisted on walking 4 kilometers home every day to go to the toilet, which is very hard for a little girl.
Elizabeth II, born in London on 21 April 1926, was born as a British princess.
At the age of six, she received a traditional, rigorous education and was well versed in history, language, and music.
She is stable, gentle and assertive, and she also lived a peaceful and comfortable life with her parents in her childhood, and there are special teachers to take charge of her studies, and her life is carefree.
The very different same year led to very different personalities, Elizabeth II was very humorous and good at talking, while Thatcher was very strong and serious, and even her colleagues said that she was very cold and difficult to get along with.
Different personalities also lead to different ways of behaving, and in political opinions, one advocates fierceness and one is benevolent and generous.
It can be said that it is inevitable that the two of them will have contradictions.
There is no doubt that the two have had a conflict, but after a long period of cooperation, the relationship between the two has also been eased.
Hugo has said that the queen was worried about Thatcher's downfall.
It can be seen that the cooperation between the two people in the later period is very tacit, and after Thatcher resigned, when the situation was at its most difficult, Queen Elizabeth also awarded him a medal.
It can be seen that Queen Elizabeth is still very recognized for Thatcher's work.
Some people also say that Thatcher deliberately imitated the queen's dress as a very disrespectful act to the queen, but on the contrary, Thatcher's real meaning was that he unconsciously imitated her dress because he admired Elizabeth.
Although there is no small misunderstanding between the two, all this seems to have been alleviated in the entry of Thatcher's husband.
Finally, when Thatcher died, the Queen and her husband, Prince Philip, attended her funeral, the first appearance of the Queen of England at the Prime Minister's funeral since Churchill's funeral.
It can be seen that the relationship between the two has been effectively eased in the later stage.
To say that they are tit-for-tat, I think they are the only ones who feel sorry for each other in the end.
I think the relationship between the two is also a friend and an enemy, and they feel sorry for each other.
The two did not blindly pander, but each had its own insistence, whether it was Thatcher's political views on himself or the queen's compassion for the people.
Completely different lives and completely different personalities not only cause contradictions at the beginning, but also make them unconsciously appreciate the shining points that they do not have in others after understanding each other.
Two people who can't appreciate each other can't be good partners, let alone friends, and I think that in the days when Thatcher and the queen were at odds, they appreciated each other, even if they didn't recognize each other's actions but highly praised each other's abilities.
And Thatcher also said: "If the queen does not agree with her ability, there will be the next prime minister." ”
As the saying goes: "If you take advantage of your friendship, you will learn more and more, and if you benefit from prudent deeds, you will be far away." ”
The same is true of the best state of making friends, mutual competition so that they appreciate each other, and mutual appreciation is mutual pity. The mountain flowing water in the Bo Yazi period, the incorruptible and the incorruptible Lin are like bearing the sin of the thorns, which one is not sympathetic to each other?
