I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service and to the service of our great Imperial family to which we all belong Queen Elizabeth II was the longest reigning monarch in British history during her 70 years on the throne Her Majesty has witnessed incredible change and so did the nation she ruled over but there was always a constant in her life always by her side Prince Phillip was the man that offered her unconditional support and devotion through hardship and change Elizabeth
and philli were inseparable for 73 years I think that the main lesson that we’ve learned is that tolerance is the one essential ingredient of any happy marriage and uh you can take it from me that the queen has the quality of Tolerance and abundance all too often I fear Prince Philip has had to listen to me speaking he is someone who doesn’t take easily to compliments but he has quite simply been my strength and stay all these years and I and his whole family owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim for we
shall ever know their enduring love and unbreakable bond has been a staple of modern history this is Elizabeth and Phillip eternally yours 1926 Britain was a much different place almost unrecognizable in fact King George V was on the throne and Britain was still recovering from the horrors of
the Great War World War I the future Queen was born on a dull ordinary rainy day on the 21st of April 1926 princess Elizabeth had a very very happy childhood she was born in 1926 in the center of London in brutin Street and it was 6 weeks before the general strike so it was a time of great political turbulence but there was still great excitement about this new royal baby people were really interested in the royal family although they never thought that she would be n to the throne because at the time everyone loved the
Prince of Wales uh who of course was the later the Duke of winds who abdicated but all eyes were on him but this was a beautiful baby and she was bought up by um a series of nannies and nursemaids and she had very loving parents and they they they basically in those days people followed the sporting calendar the winters were in hunting country Summers were in Scotland and the season was in London and Elizabeth had this adelic childhood with her parents and horses and dogs and also her loving grandparents Princess Margaret was born
in 1930 and Elizabeth looked after her she was always really kind to her little sister a beautiful little sister and they had a very very close relationship they looked after each other but obviously Elizabeth was the oldest and so she kind of took charge of her little sister but they were dressed identically she was four years older and yet so they were wearing the same clothes but that’s how royal families dressed in those days the outbreak of of World War II affected the British royal family hugely because they were right up there at
Buckingham Palace which was a big big Target for the German bombers but they decided that they would not leave the country they would stay there with their people but they obviously had to look after their two daughters Elizabeth and Margaret started in Scotland then they were uh sent down south and they eventually stayed at Windsor Castle for 5 years while the king and queen went to London during the week and they wanted to be visible to their people people so they would go around the bombed areas um you know and meet the people and
obviously the king became very involved with the troops and he would go and visit the troops so they were a very big part of the pr war effort once again londoners who have known Nights of terror before return to their bomb off homes but the damond chair cannot compare with devastated Berlin where onethird of the city lies in Ruins Britain’s beloved monarchs are on the scene a short while after again demonstrating a human sympathy for their subjects whose courage has never yet been shaken but king queen or humble
citizen all veterans of the blitz demonstrate once more that London can still take it Elizabeth and Phillip were first introduced to one another when Elizabeth was just 8 years old according to eyewitnesses it was at the wedding of Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark Philip’s cousin and Prince George Duke of Kent Elizabeth’s uncle in 1934 it wasn’t until 5 years later when Elizabeth was 13 and Philip was 18 that the two met again at the Royal Navy College in Dartmouth this time Elizabeth fell in love with the one who would
later become her husband princess Elizabeth met Prince Phillip at a family wedding but she can’t really remember that moment the reason we know so much about it is because her Governor Marian Crawford uh talks in great detail about their first meeting at Dartmouth College where Prince philli was a a naval Cadet and he was very very goodlooking 18 years old very striking blond looking and he was assigned to look after the two princesses Elizabeth and Margaret for the day for their visit while their parents went around the college I mean
it was quite strange to think of an 18-year-old looking after the princesses the oldest of whom was 13 but he decided that it would be fun if they jumped the tennis Nets so he took the princesses outside and he jumped the tennis nets for them and they were very very impressed later he went on board the vessel that the king and queen had come to Dartmouth in and he had lunch and then and the following day he went and had tea so that was the meeting that the princess remembers Prince philli of Greece and Denmark was born in monreo on the Greek
island of Corfu on the 10th of June 1921 the only son and Fifth and final child of prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark and Princess Alice of Battenburg after a suffocating loss during the Greco Turkish War a revolutionary Court banished Philip’s father from Greece for life and he evacuated the country with his family aboard HMS Calypso it was a difficult and strenuous upbringing fra with tragedy moving from place to place Philip finally found stability in the Royal Navy in 1939 when he became a Cadet at the Royal
Naval College Dartmouth the very place he would meet his future bride Elizabeth Prince Philip was born on the Greek island of Corfu his father was in the Greek army and eventually the family were exiled from Greece and went to live in Paris where where Prince philli was sent to school then his mother who was mentally very fragile went into a sanatorium and it was decided it would be better for philli to be educated by his cousins in England so he was sent to school in England and lived with his cousins the Martian Martian of Milford Haven and
then he eventually was sent to gordonston but all this made him very independent and very strong and he never says he always maintains he didn’t have an unhappy childhood it was probably a very interesting childhood because he he traveled from a very very early age and also they were a very Grand family they were princes of Greece and Denmark so they were related to both sides and they were actually also related to all the houses of Europe so they had a lot of very influential relations and when there wasn’t any money their relations
paid for them as as was the way it went in those days his mother was Queen Victoria’s great granddaughter and his mother was born in Windsor Castle actually and his mother was also Lord Louis Mount batton’s sister uh Prince philli fulfilled his military service in in the Royal Navy and he was he was uh educated at Dartmouth College and then he left college and went straight into the Navy and he actually saw action and he saw the Japanese surrender um at the Battle of matapan Elizabeth was just 21 when their
engagement was announced on the 9th of July 1947 this event was was not without controversy Philip had no Financial standing was foreign born and had sisters who had married German nobleman with Nazi links before the marriage Philip renounced his Greek and danish titles officially converted from Greek Orthodoxy to anglicanism and adopted the style left tenant Philip mountbatten taking the surname of his mother’s British family before the wedding he was created Duke of Edinburgh and granted the style his Royal
Highness when her engagement to Lieutenant Philip mountbatten of the Royal Navy’s announced the heart of the world is thrilled by the prospect of one royal wedding with a genuine AA of romance a former Greek Prince Philip gave up his Greek citizenship to become a British subject on the eve of the wedding the king elevates him to the purage and he becomes officially his Royal Highness Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh Earl of marionette and baron Greenwich from all over Christendom gorgeous and Regal gifts pour into

Street in London jewels from governments and family have been showered on the bride well when uh Elizabeth and philli got engaged they decided that because London was ravaged by War and know a lot of the buildings were absolutely rubble and and there was you know there was unemployment there was rationing it was in a really bad place the king thought well let’s have a very quiet wedding at St George’s Chapel Windsor no p no ceremony will just be very private but then the government surprisingly said no
no no we need to lift the people’s Spirits let’s have a beautiful royal wedding that everybody can see so that is what ended up happening and and it was televised and eventually the the television got to America so it was it became a global Affair and it did lift people’s Spirits in London hugely to see this beautiful young couple married you know no one didn’t see anything like that for for the years of the war Elizabeth and Phillip were married on the 20th of November 1947 at Westminster ABY they received 2,500
wedding gifts from around the world because Britain had not yet wholly recovered from the devastation of the war Elizabeth required ration coupons to buy the material for her gown which Norman Harel designed and now the great hour arrives as the Queen and Princess Margaret Rose leave Buckingham Palace for the ceremony at Westminster alley and Prince Phillip with Split Second timing also departs for the great revu the Royal Standard waves over a truly Royal occasion as the state coach with Elizabeth and the king is escorted
to Westminster ABY by the household of Cavalry guards a sovereign’s escort p pageantry and Splendor are revived for this day in austerity wrd London a day which the world shares with Britain this is the moment for which the teing millions have been waiting for months a deepthroated roar swells in volume as cheering thousands greet princess the drabness of the day is forgotten here at Westminster ABY scene of Splendor on great occasions through its 900 years of British history the Royal Coach arrives at the Great West
door through whose portals the mighty of old England have passed it is a radiant bride to be the loveliest the Old Abbey has ever looked upon here at Britain’s historic Shrine where all the kings have been crowned her Royal Highness the princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary and his Royal Highness Prince Philip Duke of edenboro are wed in the same ceremony that has United English Couples from Village to Palace for centuries here they plight their trough in the proud words of King George our daughter has married the man she
loves Elizabeth and Philip take their places on history’s pages to the stirring strains of Medal Zone they March as man and wife toward the west door amidst nearly 3,000 invited Spectators it is a deeply moving occasion and yet a supremely happy one for the king and queen as well as the Queen Mother the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and Duchess of Kent are followed by the royal couple of Holland in England the man doesn’t take the wife’s title the woman takes a husband
so when princess Elizabeth became Queen he didn’t become king because that was her title and it it it didn’t pass to him but conversely when uh the queen mother became Queen she took her husband’s title so she was married to King George V 6 and she was Queen Elizabeth because she took his title but it doesn’t work the other way around well from from Prince Philip’s perspective this is someone that had had to leave their country they didn’t have a Home of Their Own all his sisters were married to German aristocracy and lived
in enormous castles and there’s Phillip living off the Good Will of his relation so I think that the idea of of marrying a princess that that was going to inherit so much must have been very attractive and he was pushed by his Uncle Louie Mount baton who was the great king maker and he really pushed Phillip into kind of um maintaining a relationship with Princess Elizabeth she was completely smitten with him from the age of 13 and I think she started right she wrote to him to say you know thank you for entertaining us at Dartmouth and
I suppose she gradually gradually kept up then of course during during the the time when he was on leave on Shore leave he he often went to stay at Windsor Castle and that’s when their relationship you know became more serious and eventually eventually he proposed to her at Bal moral her Royal Highness is the proud and happy mother of a prince the salute is fired and in the Monarch’s home lies the infant boy who will one day be king on Saturday the eminent gynecologist Sir
William gillot was called to the palace for the most responsible case in even his career by his advice sister hmro was chosen Midwife the whole country knew that the baby would soon be born all day on Sunday people waited outside the palace including fmatic pressmen with whom it is a point of honor to show no excitement and all day there was no announcement it was after 10 at night that those who waited and they were very many heard the tremendous news a royal baby and a boy radio gave no advantage to Watchers
at the palace the Glad Tidings went out everywhere this is the BBC Home Service it has been announced officially from Buckingham Palace during the past hour that her Royal Highness the princess Elizabeth Duchess of edinb was safely delivered of a prince at 94 14 p.m. today and that her Royal Highness and her son are both doing well the press agencies were covering the world the Miracles of modern communication span the globe unto us a child is born and no ordinary child a prince for the moment all other news took second
place the morning newspapers went to press with one of those rare warm stories that touch every heart cable and radio brought thousands of messages of congratulation from every corner of the Commonwealth the young Royal mother herself a child but little more than yesterday lay at her parents’ home an infant Prince at her side by custom the Home Secretary was among the first informed when he arrived at the home office next morning the announcement hung outside Mr ched was not called to the Palace no one feared in this day and
age that some other child would be foed on the nation privileged on this Royal occasion to drive through marblearch into the park where a king’s troop of Royal Horse artillery it was their honor and proud duty to fire the salute of 41 guns announcing the birth of a prince Elizabeth gave birth to her first child Prince Charles on the 14th of November 1948 one month earlier the king had issued letters patent allowing her children to use the style and title of a Royal Prince or princess to which they otherwise would not have been entitled
as their father was no longer a royal Prince Prince Philip was so happy to that his firstborn should be a son and Heir um but he wanted his son to be an image of himself he wanted him to be macho and he wanted him to be sporty and he wanted him to have a sort of very strong personality well Charles wasn’t like that at all he was very timid he wasn’t particularly sporty he he he you he was a little awkward and he wasn’t really the son that philli hoped he’d have so as Charles grew their relationship was just
didn’t work Philip would you know sort of bark orders at Charles and Charles would cringe and be timid um they just didn’t rub along well together yes Prince Phillip felt very aggrieved by the fact that he wasn’t able to give his own children his surname now Prince Phillip family name had been Battenburg but it was changed because it was too Germanic it was changed from Battenburg to mount baton and philli wanted Mount baton as the family neor he wanted it to be the house of Mount baton and when the Royal circles I think Queen Mary heard
of this she said no way is this going to be the house of Mount baton I’m not having Louie Mount baton you know attach his name to to the Royal immediate royal family so it became the house of Windsor and uh Phillip was very very hurt so later on um it became Mount baton Windsor so that he could also have his name included New Joy has come to the royal family in the birth to princess Elizabeth at Clarence House of her second son but of course the joy is not restricted to the royal family and messages of congratulation from all over
the world have been pouring into the princess’s home ever since the new new became known the early years of marriage have set the seal on the happiness of the princess and her husband the blessing of children has come not only to enrich their lives but also to establish securely the line of succession in Prince Charles the public has acquired a new popular subject of interest of whom some delightful pictures have been taken we should like to see more of him but the insatiable demand of the public has had to bow to
the princess’s very determination that her son shall not be spoiled by publicity the public will be no less curious to see the first pictures of his brother to compare the likenesses and note the differences I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great Imperial family to which we all belong but I shall not have strength to carry out this resolution alone unless you join in it with me as I now invite you to do I know that your support will be
unfailingly given God help me to make good My Vow and God bless all of you who are willing to share in it Prince Philip was uh stationed in mortar on board his his ship and so the queen would visit him every few months and Prince Charles was was their first child was left behind and then uh the queen was able to actually sort of for the first time and probably the only time in her life be like any other housewife wasn’t quite the same but she was able to go shopping she was able to have her hair done she was able to drive
around the island and they all went to sort of like Naval dances and they just sort of joined in with the the life of the other other young naval officers and their wives and and it for her it was just a huge pleasure well I think the reason that that the queen is referred to by some historians as the unlikely Queen is that you know she wasn’t prepared to be Queen she was married in 1947 um and she expected to to have a proper longish married life before her father you know was died but he died quite suddenly so she was an unlikely Queen
and also she wasn’t designated to be Queen because her uncle uh who became Edward VII very briefly abdicated and put Elizabeth directly in the line of succession what happened was the princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip were standing in for the king and queen and they started a a a big Commonwealth tour in in Kenya as it was called in those days and the people of Kenya wanted them to be there and they’d given them a lodge for their wedding present and the the sort of joy for them was that they were going to
visit this game reserve and there was a a little place called Treetops which was overlooking a salt L lake so you could really see the animals you know this is this is uh 1952 so the whole of of Kenia was teaming with game and they spent the night up there and actually it was during the night unbeknownst to the princess that she became Queen so they went they they left their their game viewing went back to sagana Lodge and had had a little sleep because they’d been up all night when the news came across to Prince Phillip’s uh private
secretary Mike Parker that the king had died and he thought that he he he eventually had he had one of those little radios and he fiddled with it and eventually he heard the sounds of Big Ben and he knew that the news was true and it was his duty to tell Prince Phillip which was probably he says later the most difficult thing he’d ever had to do in his life so he went to Prince Phillip and told him the news that his wife Prince Philip’s wife was Queen so Prince philli was in such shock he just put a newspaper over his face and let
the news just absorb and then he got up and he went and got the princess out of her bedroom where she was resting and took her down to the lake at the bottom of the garden garden and the lady in waiting tells a wonderful story she watched them walk up and down up and down and she knew that he was telling her and when they walked back into the lodge she wanted she was putting her arms around the princess when she thought my goodness but she’s Queen and dropped into a curtsy and then of course they had to make their way back to
England as quickly as possible but she but by the time they arried back at London Airport uh she came down the steps beautifully dressed in her black clothes and Prince philli waited on the steps until she was at the bottom and she greeted her prime minister and that’s how it was going to be from then on the princess Elizabeth became Queen in February 1952 and the coronation was in June 1953 but there was no plan for her coronation there had been a plan for her uncle’s coronation Edward VII but that had been scuppered so it it
takes a long time to pull all the ends together so it was decided did that they would wait until June the following year and then everything could be lined up because for a coronation you’ve got to have all the heads of state from all the various countries all the Commonwealth so you couldn’t just say well we’re going to have it in November everybody needed time to organize things well the historical significance of the coronation is that it’s a very ancient ceremony and the queen as she was by then but she she has to be
anointed in the eyes of God and that is the coronation ceremony so she sits on the throne in a very simple white linen dress and uh she has holy oil put on her forehead and that makes her Queen in the eyes of God which is why she always said in all her speeches you know I I will rule and I will do my duty and as long as I’m fit and able to do so so um it it’s an anointing ceremony in the eyes of God and that was the great importance of it and then of course youve got all the Pomp and ceremony of all all the Lords
and the ladies and the dignitaries and the heads of state so it was an enormous undertaking and it was televised when the queen came to the throne she was only 26 and Churchill made the remark to his private secretary but she’s a child but she wasn’t a child she was very sophisticated and mature mentally and it was a man’s world and you know women were really subservient in those days and the queen was walking into this world of men who were all much much older than her but and also she hadn’t really you know been taught that she
said there was no way to be taught all she did was she watched what her father did and followed him so of course the the court was very oldfashioned and very stuffy you know because it was really her father’s Court well Prince Philip had been in the the Royal Navy he was still in the Royal Navy when he when he married so he was used to routine and regulations of Royal life but what he wasn’t used to was the way the courtiers treated him because they saw him as a foreigner and an interloper and probably someone that
wouldn’t be faithful to his wife so they didn’t like him at all and they made it very plain that they they didn’t like him so he had a very very difficult time very difficult indeed and also eventually had to you know be two steps behind his wife in the beginning they had a very very happy marriage very happy marriage they they had Clarence House as their marital home and they also had a a country house which they rented Windle Mana so they had it all at the beginning but it was for such a short time I think the day-to-day life of the
Monarch is very regimented I mean she she would be woken that’s about 7:30 she would have her dresser would come in with a cup of tea and some biscuits for the dogs you know her clothes would be laid out she would be she would dress have breakfast and then read read the newspapers and listen to the radio and then her day would start and her private secretary would bring her important letters to look at and sign and then every 20 minutes during the day there is an appointment so it and it’s the same every day during the working week so it
is a very regimented life at this moment of my silver jubilee I want to thank all those in Britain and the Commonwealth who through their loyalty and friendship have given given me strength and encouragement during these last 25 years my thanks go also to the many thousands who have sent me messages of congratulations on my silver jubilee that and their good wishes for the future my Lord mayor when I was 21 I pledged my life to the service of our people and I asked for God’s help to make good that vow although that vow was
made in my salid days when I was Green in judgment I do not regret nor attract one word of it
since Elizabeth rarely gave interviews little is known of her personal feelings as a constitutional Monarch she has not expressed her own political opinions in a public forum she did have a deep sense of religious and civic duty and took her coronation oath seriously I think the characteristics that spring to mind to me are that she is stable she’s diligent and she has an extraordinary ability to put Duty before else before everything and that is you know a characteristic that really doesn’t exist anymore um but the queen
was probably the last person you know to to decide that Duty was everything Duty became before personal happiness Duty became before family and children and um that is the characteristic that defines her and I think her stability um also defines her and the fact that we she looks very somber but then you know her face can crack into the most wonderful smile and we learn over the years about her sense of humor and her ability with mimicry um so we’ve got to know her but very gradually well 1992 was the worst year
of the Queen’s life and she gave a speech at the mansion house in London um at the towards the end of 92 and she said uh she was going to refer to the year um as an Anis heris and we all knew why because it was uh there was the her her daughter Princess Anne uh was separated divorced and remarried at the end of the year well the remarriage was happy but so her daughter’s marriage had broken down um Fergie and Andrew’s marriage had broken down but far the worst thing was the breakdown of the marriage of The Prince
and Princess of Wales and the official announcement that they were going to split and then on top of all that came the fire at Windsor Castle on the Queen’s anniversary a curtain caught upon a light in the chapel at Windsor Castle and it just blazed and the fire raced through all the state departments it was a huge fire um but lucky very very few things were lost but it was devastating and then the prime Minister asked the country if they would be prepared to pay for the Reconstruction of Windsor Castle and basically the queen subject
said no I mean although Windsor Castle is an official state building not her own uh the general consensus was that we didn’t want to pay for it so then the queen um had to pay tax and um it just really wasn’t a good year 1992 is not a year on which I shall look back with undiluted pleasure in the words of one of my more sympathetic correspondents it has turned out to be an Anis horribilis I sometimes wonder
how future Generations will judge the events of this tumultuous year I dare say that history will take a slightly more moderate view than that of some contemporary commentators He Who who has never failed to reach Perfection has a right to be the harshest critic there can be no doubt of course that criticism is good for people and institutions that are part of public life no institution City monarchy whatever should expect to be free from the scrutiny of those who give it their loyalty and support not to mention those
who don’t but we are all part of the same fabric of Our National Society and that scrutiny by one part of another can be just as effective if it is made with a touch of gentleness good humor and understanding this sort of questioning can also act and it should do so as an effective engine for change I think that the death of Princess Diana was the biggest crisis of the Queen’s Reign and probably something that historically she will be judged by and I think despite the film The Queen and despite the crown people still think the queen
handled it badly and didn’t seem to understand what the her subjects were feeling and thinking but I think the queen didn’t understand because they traditionally the royal family when there is a death and there’ve been many many They Mourn quietly amongst themselves and the queen thought because of William and Harry it would be utter cruelty to expose them to crowds of wailing people and that they must be kept at balm moral but it actually was wrong as it as it turned out but she remedied the situation but I think it will still be seen as probably
one of the disasters of herin but I think our children have done rather well under very different and difficult and demanding circumstances I I think I hope we can be forgiven for feeling rather proud of them and I’m also encourag to see what a good start the next generation is making I think that the main lesson that we’ve learned is that tolerance is the one essential ingredient of any happy marriage it may not be quite so important when things are going well but it is absolutely vital when things get difficult and uh you can take it from me
that the queen has the quality of Tolerance and abundance I think many people have asked the queen and asked Prince Philip what is the secret of their relationship and the queen has spoken out on a few occasions and she said patience sense of humor and she said famously of course that Prince villet had simply been her Rock and her stay over the years and he had he’d always been there to support her although he never involved himself in constitutional Affairs he was there as a sounding board he was some someone to listen and
someone who would be on her side or would give her uh criticism which of course nobody else really could all too often I fear Prince Phillip has had to listen to me speaking frequently we have discussed my intended speech beforehand and as you will imagine his views have been expressed in a forthright manner he is someone who doesn’t take easily to compliments but he has quite simply been my strength and stay all these years and I and his whole family and this and many other countries owe him a debt gr greater than he would ever
claim for we shall ever know on the 9th of April 2021 Prince Phillip sadly passed away at 99 Only 2 months before his 100th birthday leaving Elizabeth all alone after their 73 eventful years spent together I I particularly wanted to say that my father I suppose the last uh 70 years has given the most remarkable devoted Service uh to the Queen to my family and uh to the country and also to the whole of the commonweal and as you can imagine my family and I missed my father enormously he was a a much loved and appreciated
figure and uh apart from anything else I can imagine and we’re so deeply touched by the number of other people here and elsewhere around the world in the Commonwealth who also I think share our loss and our sorrow and uh my my dear Papa Was a was a very special person who I think above all else would have been Amazed by the reaction and the touching things that have been said about it and from that point of view we are my family deeply grateful for all that it will sustain us in this particular loss and at this particularly
sad time well many people have asked Prince Philip how he wants to be remembered and he says typically he says well I won’t be around so I don’t care do I but I think I hope he’ll be remembered for what he’s done for conservation and what he’s done for the Sciences I think he’ll be remembered for his Duke of Edinburgh award because it Bears his name and I think he will also be remembered for his gffs which is a bit of a shame but I think when people think of Prince Philip they think of oh philli and the ladies and Phillip and
and his Politically Incorrect remarks and sometimes those things stick in 2022 Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her Platinum Jubilee 70 years of service a first for any Monarch in British history celebrations took place throughout the United Kingdom the Commonwealth and the world as people came together to honor this historic milestone it has been a long day but with the help of her walking stick the queen did press ahead with the Beacon Lighting at Windsor this evening but by all accounts the Jubilee events have taken their toll
she lit the beacons but the palace said the queen suffered some discomfort today and had pulled out to the big Thanksgiving service tomorrow despite tonight’s news this is how most people will remember today day when the queen showed the world what celebrations for a 70-year Reign look like a balcony moment watched by tens of thousands on the Mal as this 96-year-old Monarch marked a moment in British history none of her predecessors has ever achieved unfortunately a few months later the queen passed away in her Platinum
Jubilee year on the 8th of September 2022 the nation Bid Farewell to Britain’s longest reigning monarch after a state funeral she was laid to rest alongside her husband Prince Phillip they were reunited at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle where they may rest in peace together it is almost impossible to imagine the great burden of responsibility carried by her majesty Queen Elizabeth II throughout her life still there is no doubt that the
unbreakable Bond and closeness that she shared with her husband and the love and support they have afforded one another has carried them together and made the toils of life that much more worthwhile
