The real rebel of the royal family was Elizabeth

The real rebel of the royal family was Elizabeth

Her 70-year reign on the throne is the longest in Great Britain's history. She came to the throne after the death of her father George VI, who died in his sleep.

The Queen was known for her quirky hats and love of pastel colours. Contrary to what one might think, her mentality had nothing to do with the distant time when she was born. Behind the tough appearance and respect for etiquette, in fact, Elisabeth was a rebel who adapted to trends and times.

He had to deal with the Falkland Islands crisis. She had to deal with the problems of her children, Charles's divorce and remarriage to Camilla, Andrew's divorce and his wife Sarah's betrayal, Andrew's scandals with Epstein, a convicted pedophile, Andrew's friend, the divorce of to her daughter Anne by first husband.

The story with Harry and Meghan then known, is even more current.

How has he coped with all this? With an open mind and thinking "outside the box".

The only blemish, in the life and reign of Elizabeth II, was perhaps the way in which she handled the Diana affair. First because she allowed her husband Philip to push Charles to marry Diana, even though he loved Camilla, a married woman at the time.

Second, about the way Lady Diana was treated after the divorce, as someone who had harmed the Windsor family.

However, it wasn't long before Elizabeth realized the mistake she was making and made her famous televised speech in which she paid tribute to Diana's memory as sovereign and mother of her grandchildren.

It was she who later, in 2005, allowed Charles to marry Camilla. She herself had married Philip, despite the fact that no one in the family thought he was on her (the future queen's) level.

For this, and for other reasons (which you will find below), the Queen of England can be considered the real "royal rebel".

He drove the car without a license plate

Perhaps not everyone knows this, because at official events she was always seen comfortably as a passenger or in a carriage, but Elizabeth drove a car from the age of 19, and even without a license.

Her car also had no license plate. The law gave him the right.

Passion for horses

The Queen had a real passion for horses: her first pony, Peggy, was given to her by her grandfather King George V when she was 4 years old. He never gave up riding, even where age was taking its toll.

She married the man she loved (and changed the law for him)

Elisabetta fell in love with Prince Philip when she was just 13 years old. For many years they only wrote letters. When she was 21 years old, on July 9, 1947, she announced her engagement to him.

The engagement was opposed by the royal family, as Philip was not considered to be of sufficient economic standing, he was born abroad (although he had served in the Royal Navy during World War II) and had sisters married to German aristocrats associated with the Nazis .

To Elizabeth none of this mattered, except to her Philip. She changed the law shortly before the birth of her first son, so that he could bear her surname Mountbatten-Windsor and not his father's, otherwise he would be the son of a duke and would not be able to inherit the throne.

She has been at war

In February 1945, Elizabeth persuaded her father to allow her to personally participate in the war and joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) where she was known by the identifier 'n. 230873'. She trained as a driver and mechanic and five months later was awarded the title of honorary commander.

She was the first to visit a mosque

She was the first English sovereign to visit a mosque in the UK in July 2002 in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire.

Ride the subway

Elizabeth II first traveled on the London Underground in May 1939, accompanied by her maid of honor, Marion Crawford, and her sister, Princess Margaret.

In 2017 she took part in the construction works of the metropolitan railway section dedicated to her, inaugurated in December 2018, connecting the city with Heathrow Airport.

Also protagonist in the cinema!

Elizabeth II also participated in the film for the London Olympics 2012. A real star there!

In social networks

Elizabeth II also entered Instagram.

She was also the first sovereign to send an email, in 1976. It was to two military bases.

He liked to drink a gin with a slice of lemon and lots of ice before meals. While during dinner he preferred champagne.
