It was the longest reign in British history in childhood Elizabeth never expected to inherit the throne. Her ascension was only made possible when her uncle king Edward renounced his right, passing it on to Elizabeth’s father George the sixth. At the age of 21 the future queen dedicated herself to serving the commonwealth.

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. Elizabeth married Prince Philip in 1947 in a lavish ceremony at Westminster Abbey, during a commonwealth tour of Kenya. Five years later, the royal couple learned King George had passed away at the age of 25 the princess returned home to become a queen.

Elizabeth and Philip were married for nearly 74 years remaining side by side until the Prince’s death in 2021. At the age of 99, they raised four children together all of whom would grow up under a microscope. Pomp and circumstance. There was plenty of that over the years, but there were difficult times as well, 1992 is not a year on which I shall look back with undiluted pleasure.

But controversy would later return when Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped down from royal duties, and accusations of racism and discrimination within the royal family would soon surface.

At the same time, dark shadows grew around the queen’s third child, Prince Andrew, and his alleged connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Despite those troubling incidents, the queen always enjoyed a warm welcome during her visits to Canada. We have been delighted by the enthusiasm of Canadians everywhere to take part in these jubilee celebrations and have been overwhelmed by the crowds, the flowers, and the many words of kindness, A royal event received a personal touch in 2010 when her majesty presided over the 151st running of the Queen’s plate.

The appearance remains a centerpiece of her final official visit to Canada. Years later in 2015, the queen would be saluted by Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau as she became Britain’s longest-serving monarch to her majesty. The Queen. The Queen, thank you Mr. Prime Minister of Canada for making me feel so old Elizabeth’s lengthy reign was celebrated again in 2022 when she marked seven decades on the throne, health and mobility issues prevented the queen from fully participating in platinum jubilee events.

But a surprise appearance on the balcony at Buckingham Palace left little doubt about where she stood in the hearts of the British public Through joy, through loss. Through both celebration and struggle, she was a symbol of stability in a constantly shifting World as Queen Elizabeth Britain’s 63rd monarch.
