No, I am not being a clever clogs and speaking Latin again.
Well, yes I am but YOU would have to be from outer space in order NOT to know that phrase.. especially as OUR Queen is celebrating 60 years of being OUR Queen today.
SIXTY years.. of being in the public eye, under a microscope, of being judged, of those 'red' boxes which find HM wherever she is, of always having to be on 'parade'.
HM is 87 years of age.. she has been doing her 'job' since 1952 which was when her father, King George 6th, died. But out of respect for him and in mourning, her coronation was delayed for sixteen months.
SHE was recently at The Tower of London and saw The Coronation Crown.. today, it left the Tower today for the first time in 60 years, in order to meet up with HM to help celebrate her Coronation of June 2nd, 1953.
Known as either The Coronation Crown or King
Edwards' Crown, it is largely made up of the Crown that was made for King Charles 2nd, the very dastardly General Fairfax (a Parliamantarian) having sold or melted down all the Crown jewels to pay for the (Roundhead) Army.
HM Queen Elizabeth 2nd is a first cousin 9th times removed from King Charles 1st. Charles 2nd was his son.
Yes, SHE is a Royalist, but apart from HER own reasons, can YOU think of any person, be they President or whatever, who would do HM's job for this length of time.. with no time out for good behaviour? I think not..
Yes, WE pay for HM and the immediate members
of the Royal Family.. but the senior members of it still work for 'the firm' and they are all way past retirement age. Do they earn their 'keep', are they a bringer-in of tourists to this country, undoubtedly.
Vivat Regina.. Long live the Queen.. OUR Queen.
HM Queen Elizabeth 2nd.
