For this lady... she deserves this and more.... never put a foot wrong and put her job before everything else in life..
Much of what she believed in was passed on to her by her grandmother, the old Queen Mary, (widow of George V) who played a major part in grooming her for the job.
I think her dedication to the job cost her in a closer family life with her children however
She inherited her father's qualities of fortitude and responsibility. He came to the throne completely unprepared, had to overcome a bad stammer but when he died he was mourned and loved by the nation.
A wonderful lady. Bless her memory. She should be revered as much as Queen Victoria.
Much more Id say... VIctoria hid herself away from her subjects for years and had to take advice from the government to make herself seen to the public... Our Queen Elizabeth worked hard right up to the end putting all her own personal life into second place...
"Last weekend, in Rutland, the first statue in Britain of the late Elizabeth II was unveiled. I wasn’t there, but having seen the photographs, I can only assume that visitors were left open-mouthed, and not because they were struck with awe. It’s a horror: unsightly, stupid and a little scary. The artist, Hywel Pratley, has turned the late Queen into a ghastly chimaera, sporting a girlish dress that makes her look like a stumpy Titania, or a cast-off from Frozen, with the faintest hint of wee Jimmy Krankie."
