The whole world knows Elizabeth II, the Queen of England. This venerable lady has been the leader of the nation for almost her entire life, and despite the fact that her role is only nominal, she is respected and loved by all Englishmen. Being the embodiment of manners and elegance, Elizabeth II invariably defends the honor of the country in any circumstances.
By law, the Queen of England does not have to pay taxes. However, she does this voluntarily. Another law prohibits anyone from touching the queen. But this ban was violated several times by leaders of other states at official meetings. Every day, thousands of letters come to Elizabeth II, and she randomly reads a few dozen of them, and always sends an answer. In total, she sent more than 3 million letters in her life. During the life of Elizabeth II, 12 prime ministers managed to change in Great Britain, and 7 Popes in the Vatican. The Queen of England has a certificate confirming that she is a qualified water rescuer. In her youth she swam superbly. For the first time, Elizabeth II spoke publicly to her people when the Second World War began. She was then only fourteen years old. Elizabeth II can be seen in one of the films about the super agent James Bond. There she played herself in a cameo role. In addition to swimming, in her youth the English queen perfectly mastered sports shooting. According to the rules of etiquette, Elizabeth II is not allowed to appear twice in the same dress. But the queen is the queen to do what she wants, so she already violated this unwritten ban twice. Not everyone loves Elizabeth II. In 1992, when relations between Great Britain and Germany were rather strained, Elizabeth II who arrived on a visit to the Germans was bombarded with eggs.
Once an English queen incognito walked around London, and some tourists asked her if she had ever seen Queen Elizabeth. Elizabeth II wears only skirts. In all her life she appeared only 3 times in public in trousers. The Queen of England has never taken off her outerwear in public. In the middle of the last century, Elizabeth II traveled around the world, becoming the first monk in the world to circumnavigate the globe in one trip. Every year, the Queen of England appears on television, congratulating the British nation on Christmas. Such is the tradition. Sessions of the British Parliament are traditionally always opened by the British monarch. Elizabeth II only twice evaded this duty when she was pregnant. In 1991, a guard who did not recognize Elizabeth II did not let her into the VIP box at one official event. Several times in her life, the English queen cried in public. According to one ancient law, when entering London, the English monarch must request permission from the city authorities to enter, and the city has the right to refuse it. Elizabeth II regularly follows this law, but of course, she never received refusals.
Observing people noticed that shifting a handbag from one hand to another with Elizabeth II means that the queen is tired of conversation. But manners and education do not allow her to say so directly. When the Queen of England married, she was dressed in such a heavy dress that she could barely walk in it. The archbishop, who led the ceremony, even had to slightly push it at the right time. Elizabeth II does not have a passport, since all passports in the United Kingdom are issued on her behalf. The Queen of England is officially the head of not only Great Britain itself, but also many other countries that were once British colonies. Nominally, of course. For example, she ruled New Zealand and Australia, as it were. Now the Queen is adored by almost all the British. But once she did not enjoy such a hot popular love. And now she is sometimes criticized. Now, in 2019, Elizabeth II is the oldest state leader in the world.
