# The Cultural Icon Status of Corgis: The Royal Influence of Queen Elizabeth II

## Introduction

Queen Elizabeth II's lifelong devotion to corgis played a pivotal role in transforming this Welsh breed into one of the world's most beloved and recognizable dog breeds.

Her seven-decade association with corgis not only elevated their status from working dogs to royal companions but also cemented their place in global popular culture.

## Historical Bond Between the Royal Family and Corgis

### The Beginning of a Royal Love Affair

The royal family's relationship with corgis began in 1933 when King George VI (then Duke of York) acquired the first royal corgi, named Dookie.

However, it was Princess Elizabeth who truly developed the profound connection that would define the breed's future.

In 1944, then-Princess Elizabeth was gifted her first corgi, Susan, as a gift for her 18th birthday.

"I must be seen to be believed" fashion queen wears new female role model
Elizabeth II, who died on the 8th, remained silent about her political inclinations during her reign, but the Queen famously said, “I must be seen to be believed, ” taking this goal to heart since she became king at the age of 25 and setting a new model for women ’ s power in the second half of the 20th century.
The Queen knows that an external image can also carry a message, and for 70 years she has not only dressed for her people, but also left a topic for future generations.
A staunch practitioner of fashion diplomacy, she began working with designer brands long before Michelle Obama, former First Lady of the United States, and Kate, Prince William ’ s wife. Through clothing, she brought the hand of friendship across national borders and brought life to her country ’ s fashion industry.
She is also a top dresser for the media, wearing brightly colored suits that both conform to the traditional system and stand out from the crowd.
Such a clever strategy could be seen in later generations, including Hillary Clinton, Angela Merkel, and Nancy Pelosi.
The Queen is everywhere in popular culture, recognising her by her silhouette alone, always a petite woman in a hat, with a handbag hanging over her arm.
Such an image is so easily recognizable that the actresses who play her can easily emulate it.
Her style is often described as opinionated, but she does walk in front of the trend; she chooses to maintain the same color from hats, suits, coats, to two-inch light shoes, such as rose, emerald, lavender, purple grapes, so that others can easily identify her.
"I can never wear beige because then no one knows who I am," she once confessed to the royal biographer Robert Hardman. The lemon green suit she wore on her 90th birthday was dazzling, and the exclusive hashtag # neonat90 appeared on the Internet.
In fact, her use of color inspired Sali Hughes to write “Our Rainbow Queen, ” one of at least seven books on the Queen ’ s fashion.
In addition to the clear insistence on style of dress, the Queen ’ s love for the corgis is also unforgettable. The corgis ’ relationship with the Queen began long before she met and married Prince Philip, and dates back to her childhood.
The Queen loves Corgi, and in the 1970s she created a new breed of sausages and Corgi with her sister Princess Margaret, known as the "dorgi".
Royal insiders told the media that the Queen likes Corgi because they are full of energy.
In her lifetime, the Queen owned 30 Corgi and Dorje dogs.
After her death, she left behind four dogs, including two Corgi, a Doggie named Candy and a cocker spaniel named Lissy.

As one of the most photographed women in the world, the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, the late Queen of Britain at the age of 96, has been documented through the lens of cameras thousands of various images during her reign of 70 years, in addition to some of the footage from her childhood and youth before ascending the throne. Black mourning after the death of her father, passing through some private footage while walking with her dogs, in addition to footage of her tours in the gardens and coal mines and inspecting the troops.
Highlights of Queen Elizabeth ’ s life include the moment she sat in the old coronation chair inside Westminster Abbey when she was crowned in 1953, as well as the image of Her Majesty broadcasting her first Christmas TV broadcast to the nation in 1957, a move that would resonate every subsequent year of her reign as television technology shifts.
The images also show the queen ’ s love for horses, with many showing them on horseback or at races, while others reflect her relationship with Corgi ’ s dogs, and many photos show the queen with her beloved husband Prince Philip and their children Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward at various stages of their early lives.
One of the photographs shows Her Majesty and the Duke of Edinburgh on the balcony of Buckingham Palace in 1954, just two years after her reign with five-year-old Prince Charles and three-year-old Princess Anne, as well as Her Majesty the Queen later in her life, when she continued to perform her sacred duties of stoicism and determination during her long reign.

Queen Elizabeth II was laid to rest on Monday in England after an unprecedented 70 years on the British throne.

On Monday, Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral was held at Westminster Abbey before she was interred at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor. The monarch was buried next to her husband, Prince Philip, among other royalty, including her father, King George VI. It followed days of mourning since her death at age 96 on Sept. 8, and the procession of her coffin (adorned with the crown jewels) was met by tens of thousands of people who filled the streets from London to Windsor. Members of the royal family were in attendance, along with more than 100 world leaders, including President Joe Biden — and even the Queen’s surviving corgis.

Content: "Where's our mistress?"
In Britain will release a book written on behalf of the beloved dogs of Queen Elizabeth II
The book will be written by a descendant of the author of a similar book, written on behalf of the fox terrier King Edward VII.
Related video
In the UK, an original book is being prepared for publication, written on behalf of the beloved corgis of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
This is reported by the Daily Mail.
It's kind of a tradition.
After all, in 1910, a book called “Where is the Master? ” was published, allegedly written by a 12-year-old fox terrier of the late King Edward VII, nicknamed Caesar.
Its author was Ernest Hodder-Williams, and he ran one of the most powerful publishing houses in Edwardian England, Hodder & Stoughton.
He attended the king's funeral and, impressed by the sight of sad Caesar yearning for his master king, he wrote a short work to please his wife Ethel.
It took a little time: at the funeral of King Edward, the publisher caught a cold and wrote, observing bed rest.
The name was suggested to him by his wife, she liked to say: "Where is the owner?" to their own dog.
When Ernest recovered, he printed only four copies of "Where's the Master?"
He gave one to his wife, who was very moved, two to his friends, and a fourth to Buckingham Palace with a note that it was intended for the widow of the king, Queen Alexandra.
Ernest received an unexpected response.
In the palace, he was asked to disclose his sources, the gardener from Sandringham was suspected of leaking information, but Ernest insisted that he wrote the book himself.
However, the book "Where is the Master?" had many interesting details, including memories of a trip to Biarritz, when Caesar attacked the French poodle, and his master king affectionately reproached him, saying, "What a typical Englishman you are, Caesar.
You can ’ t help but meet a foreigner, not to bark at him and not to walk with such an important view that the whole world exists only for you. ”
Friends of the publisher, after reading the book, appreciated both its subtle humor and the ironic style of the narrative and the fact that it was written on behalf of a dog.
So they called on Ernest to expand the circulation.
He printed another 500 copies, which were sold almost overnight.
By Christmas 1910, "Where's the Host?" had been reprinted 15 times, selling over 150,000 copies.
Buckingham Palace eventually resigned itself to the popularity of the book and the publisher received a letter from the personal secretary of Queen Alexandra Charlotte Nollis, in which she thanked him for stimulating public interest and assured that he reproduced with amazing accuracy the grief of the fox terrier Caesar.
On his return to Sandringham (the late king ’ s favorite residence), the little fox terrier really roamed the big house in desperate search of his master king.
It is said that after the death of King Edward VII, his longtime mistress Alice Keppel (great-grandmother of Camilla, Queen Consort) asked Queen Alexandra what would become of Caesar.
And the queen, though not too fond of the fox terrier, left him in the palace and he until his death in 1914 wore a collar with the inscription: "I am Caesar.
I belong to the King. "
His figurine, ordered by Edward to jewelers from the Faberge, is still in the Royal Collection.
The new book, entitled "Where is the mistress?", was written by a descendant of Ernest Hodder-Williams, Jamie Hodder-Williams.
The story is conducted on behalf of the beloved corgi of Queen Elizabeth nicknamed Muick.
It was presented to his mother by Prince Andrew after the death of Prince Philip, and she named it after the lake Loch Muick near the beloved residence of Balmoral.
Now Muick with his friend named Sandy lives in the estate of Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
It is already known that in a book telling about the emotions of a dog whose mistress died, there are lines: "Where is she?
I've been looking for forever, and I can't find her anywhere.
She doesn ’ t read in the library, she doesn ’ t sit at the table, and she doesn ’ t rest on the soft green couch that we usually share in the afternoon when we ’ re both tired. ”
Jamie Hodder-Williams believes that the story of Muick will resonate with dog lovers around the world.
And given the fact that the rights in the US have already been sold to HarperCollins, there are first signs that the book, written on behalf of the beloved Corgi of Queen Elizabeth, will become a bestseller.
Recall that during the funeral of Queen Elizabeth, the staff of the palace brought Corgi Sandy and Muick to say goodbye to their mistress.
The photo of two dogs standing near the road on which the hearse rode touched the fans of the late monarch all over the world.

Her seven-decade association with corgis not only elevated their status from working dogs to royal companions but also cemented their place in global popular culture.

Gorbachev, 91, the last leader of the Soviet Union
Mikhail Gorbachev, the last Soviet leader, died on August 30 at the age of 91.
During his reign, he pushed for a revival of openness and reform efforts, which eventually led to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. The Western world regarded him as a “reformer who can deal with ” and the Soviet Communists regarded him as a“ national sinner. ”
Born in 1931 in a small village in southern Russia, Gorbachev joined the Communist Party in 1952, obtained a law degree from Moscow University in 1955, and became the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union at the age of 54 after the death of Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev in 1985.
When Gorbachev came to power, he set out to introduce limited political and economic freedoms in order to revitalize the Soviet economic and political system, advocate openness and reconstruction, and lead the Russians from sheep to citizens in a bloodless way.
However, his reforms were seen by the establishment as going too fast, while radical reformers criticized them as going too slow, and eventually Gorbachev was unable to control inflation and the economy was out of control, the reforms failed, the Eastern European countries became independent, and the Soviet Union collapsed.
Gorbachev and then-US President Ronald Reagan were seen as the driving force behind the end of the Cold War, beginning in 1986 with the reduction of long-range missiles held by the United States and the Soviet Union, and the conclusion of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, which agreed to reduce the number of nuclear warheads held by both sides, ending the arms race and the Cold War; Gorbachev was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990.

With his outstanding performance on the football field, Billy has earned Brazil a place in international football, becoming Brazil ’ s global ambassador and even surpassing the United States President.
Billy was met by several US presidents, each of which reinforced Billy ’ s status as the world ’ s soccer king and proved to be Brazil ’ s best ambassador on the international stage.
When he was 17 years old, Billy was a child prodigy and won the 1958 World Cup for Brazil. Billy has always been the pride of Brazil, and the image of Brazil and Billy has been equated.
In the post-war period, Brazil managed to compete in the international community while Billy shone, symbolizing Brazil ’ s impending rise to prominence.
Brazil then won the World Cup in 1962 and 1970, and Billy became famous. During this period, Brazil experienced economic growth, and the new Brazilian jazz “Bossa Nova ” was born in Brazil.
The Brazilian's self-confidence was finally as strong as the rainbow, and Billy was crowned the "King of the Ball" until the end of his life.

During his tenure, he was known for policies such as "Abenomics" and "Tourism to Build a Nation" to save the economy, and actively promoted Japan's constitutional amendment, hoping to normalize the self-defense forces.
During Abe ’ s tenure, there have been numerous controversies, such as the Mori School, the Cashier School fraud case, the Ministry of Finance ’ s document tampering incident, and the Tokyo Supreme Prosecutor ’ s case, all of which have been related to him, but it has not been possible to shake his political status.

Elizabeth II as an icon of pop culture
Comments
Vincent Coste
Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Andy Warhol (1985) at Sotheby's Auction Exhibition - Copyright AP Photo / Alberto Pezzali)
Her longevity and permanence made her a true icon of modern pop culture, whose instantly recognizable image was used throughout her 70-year reign.
The death of Elizabeth II at the age of 96 caused an unprecedented wave of emotions in her country, the Commonwealth states, and around the world.
Everyone, from ordinary citizens to the leaders of many countries, expresses deep sorrow at the death of the British monarch.
Over the years of her presence in public life, the Queen has become not only one of the most recognizable images in art, but - for a certain circle - and a trendsetter for clothes and accessories.
The Queen Live
The coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on 2 June 1953 was the world's first live television broadcast.
The ceremony, which for centuries remained available only to a select few close to the court of the British crown, became available to the eyes of millions around the world.
More than 250 million people watched the ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London.
God save the Queen.
The cover of the Sex Pistols' 1977 single "God Save The Queen", on which the Queen's face, eyes and mouth are hidden under the band's name, is one of the most famous images of the punk movement... as well as of Elizabeth II.
Provocative artist Jamie Reid, who designed the cover of the Pistols album, also created a version depicting the monarch with a pin on his lip and a swastika instead of pupils.
In 1985, the English band The Smiths released their third album, The Queen is Dead.
The song of the same name, the first track on the album, has become widespread in social networks in the last 20 years: as rumors about the death of the Queen sounded more and more often.
Many other songs have been written about Queen Elizabeth II, including "Elizabeth My Dear" (1989) by alternative rock band The Stone Roses.
In the song, the authors state that "they will not rest until she leaves her throne."
In 2005, the British electronic music group Basement Jaxx in the video "You do not know me" depicted in the style of fake reality a walking queen who runs away from bodyguards to wander around night London: there was not without a brawl with the police and a trip to a strip club.
Portraits
During her long reign, the Queen posed for more than 175 portraits.
Artists such as Cecil Beaton, Lucian Freud, and Annie Leibovitz depicted her in royal attire, at work, or with her family.
But perhaps the most famous is the portrait painted in 1985 by pop art ’ s founding father Andy Warhol as part of a series dedicated to the reigning queens of the time.
The American artist used the official photograph of the Queen and processed it in his own way, as he did with a photo of Marilyn Monroe.
And here is another area of   replicating the image of the Queen: not quite a portrait, and not even art.
Elizabeth II was dedicated to the Playmobil figurine, an honor that was honored by few leaders.
Cartoon Queen and Buffonade on Screen
Well-recognized for her bright outfits, Elizabeth II has become a character in many cartoons, TV series and television programs.
Her Majesty appeared several times in the American TV series The Simpsons, including an episode where the main character, Homer, crashes into Buckingham Palace in his carriage.
In the children's cartoon Peppa Pig, the monarch jumps through puddles of mud.
Her character also appears in the films Minions (2015), Austin Power: Goldmember (2002) and The Naked Gun: From the Police Department Archives! (1988), where the Queen is played by Jeanette Charles, her most famous screen double in the UK.
Intimate details of the life of the Queen
Although the Queen rarely gave interviews, her life is captured in films, plays and television programs.
In the film "The King's Speech!" (2010) about the struggle of her father King George VI with speech defects, which won the "Oscar", shows the childhood of the Queen, and in the film "Queen" (2006), Elizabeth II, played by Helen Mirren, faces the anger of her subjects after the death in 1997 of her daughter-in-law Princess Diana.
But the most detailed about the life of the Queen was told by the popular Netflix series “The Crown ”: here is the story of her relationship with her husband, Prince Philip, and marital disputes, and political scandals and crises.
Personal participation in the opening of the Olympic Games in London
After her image has been played out in the canons of pop culture for many years, in 2012 Queen Elizabeth II took the initiative: she takes part in a video shot for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in London.
Surrounded by her favorite corgis at Buckingham Palace, she accepts James Bond, played by Daniel Craig.
"Good evening, Mr. Bond," retains the queen's bondiada style.
After an exchange of courtesies, the couple pretends to get into a helicopter, fly over London, and finally parachute into the Olympic Stadium.
In 2016, Elizabeth II also played a small role in a video featuring former US President Barack Obama to promote Invictus Games, an international event created by her grandson Prince Harry for wounded soldiers similar to the Olympics.
Paddington Bear mourns the loss of "Ma'am"
The Queen had a surprise for her subjects in June, during the celebration of the 70th anniversary of her stay on the British throne.
During the platinum anniversary celebrations, she appeared in a small video where she drinks tea with the bear Paddington, the clumsy and touching character of English writer Michael Bond.
In the video, she beats the rhythm with a silver spoon on her porcelain cup, in time for the opening of a giant concert at the gates of Buckingham Palace.
And after the news of the Queen ’ s death, Paddington reacted on Twitter, thanking the Queen “for everything ” she did during her reign.

However, it was Princess Elizabeth who truly developed the profound connection that would define the breed's future.

Content: Colonialism, the European Union and the independence referendum: The Queen has witnessed three “declines ”
Author: Liu Yanting
Published: Updated:
On September 8, 2022, Queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 96, and her son Charles became King on the same day as Charles III.
Queen Elizabeth II has ruled for 70 years since her accession to the throne in 1952, making her the longest-reigning monarch in British history.
In addition to the death of Princess Diana in a car accident, Prince Andrew's sex trade scandal, Prince Harry and Princess Meghan Markle's departure caused her voice once damaged, the Queen generally maintained a good image of "integrity" and "due diligence".
For many years, when British republicans chanted the abolition of the monarchy, the Queen was rarely the target of attack, but enjoyed a special "immunity" of public opinion; her dress and that of Princess Kate (Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge) was one of the soft power cores of the British royal family, and was chased by the global fashion media, both to enhance the positive image of the royal family and to promote the British clothing brand.
However, when we look at the international political reality, the ups and downs of the times experienced by Queen Elizabeth II are not as beautiful as their personal aura.
In her 70-year reign, the Queen witnessed three “declines ” and was powerless to help them.

Decline of colonial hegemony
First of all, it was the beginning of the Age of Navigation, when Britain, with its imperialist ships, came to an end under the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, a system of colonial exploitation forged by the blood of the corpse mountains.
After Queen Elizabeth became the clear heir to the throne, on August 15, 1947, after 40 years of anti-colonial struggle, India declared independence, Britain lost its most important overseas colony; Burma became independent from Sri Lanka in 1948, and chose not to join the British Commonwealth; in 1948, Britain ended its mandate in Palestine and Israel was established.
These areas left more or less British "colonial heritage", including India-Pakistan tensions, Burmese and ethnic minority armed struggle in Burma, Arab and Jewish human bloody violence, and at the same time, the British Empire gradually fell apart in the ensuing wave of decolonization in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
After Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the throne in 1952, it was the first African colonies to gain independence, including Ghana (1957), Nigeria (1960), Sierra Leone (1961), Uganda (1961), Kenya and Zanzibar (1963), Gambia (1965), Botswana and Lesotho (1966), and Swaziland (1968).
Then came the Caribbean. In 1958, Britain consolidated its colonies in the Caribbean into the "West Indies Federation" to contain the wave of independence. However, due to fierce internal fighting in the Federation, it was finally dissolved in 1962. Most of these areas were separated from the United Kingdom for the next 20 years, and only some of the islands remained British overseas territories.
Gulf independence in the Middle East has also been rapid. Kuwait declared independence from the United Kingdom in 1961, followed by Oman (1962), South Yemen (1967), Qatar (1971), Bahrain (1971), and the United Arab Emirates (1971).
In fact, the 1956 Suez Canal crisis, when the British and French forces were forced to withdraw from Egypt under the US and Soviet deterrence, it was clear that the hegemony of the two countries in Asia and Africa was declining, and the main theme of the US-Soviet confrontation was about to take its place.
In 1984, the Sino-British Joint Declaration was signed; on July 1, 1997, the sovereignty of Hong Kong was officially transferred to the People's Republic of China, ending more than 150 years of colonization.
Prince Charles has said that the transfer of sovereignty in Hong Kong marks the complete end of the British Empire.
In today ’ s world, big state politics dominates the fate of small states, but it is difficult for Britain to play a role in it.
From Africa to Asia, from Ghana to Hong Kong, Queen Elizabeth II witnessed the decline of the "sun never sets" and witnessed the new changes of the century in the last years of her life, but no longer had the opportunity to witness it change the world.

The Decline of European Integration
Second, Queen Elizabeth II witnessed the decline of the wave of “European integration ” following World War II.
In 1952, the Queen's accession to the throne, France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg formed the European Coal and Steel Community, and in 1965, through the Treaty of Merger, merged the European Coal and Steel Community with the European Economic Community and the European Atomic Energy Community.
Based on economic and trade reciprocity, this organization gradually transitioned to cooperation areas such as mutual legal assistance, policy cooperation, common security, and achieved a high degree of European integration. In 1985, the Schengen Convention (also translated as Schengen Convention) was adopted, and border checks between signatory countries were abolished.
From the perspective of history, the emergence of European integration shows that after the destruction of the two world wars, the European Union hopes to create a mechanism to prevent the recurrence of war, and at the same time to consolidate European peace and promote economic and trade relations. France wants to use the accession of new members to bind Germany and prevent Germany from rising again, and Germany wants to use its leadership within the European Union to consolidate its prestige and status as a major power.
Under the intertwining of the two contexts, the European Union pushed for several rounds of expansion, and the United Kingdom joined in 1973 with Ireland and Denmark.
After the Arab Spring in 2010, a large number of Arab Muslim refugees poured into Europe, triggering a social and economic crisis, and some right-wing media and political elites began to criticize the EU's refugee policy, saying that humanitarian and open borders would lead to the infiltration of Islamic terrorism and seriously threaten national security.
In this context, Euroscepticism has risen, and "European integration" is no longer a consensus among member states, and the United Kingdom, which is located outside of Europe, has raised the voice of "Brexit".
This topic was influenced by the Conservative Party ’ s power struggle, and finally came true after the 2016 referendum, which began a long political quagmire of Brexit. After the three prime ministers of David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson, the Brexit agreement was passed by the British House of Commons on January 9, 2020, and Elizabeth II on January 23. Ratify the Withdrawal Agreement. On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom officially leaves the European Union.
Although no member states of the European Union have withdrawn, the social tears caused by the refugee crisis are temporarily unable to respond. The Russian-Ukrainian war has led to the Eastern European region being gradually threatened by the United States strategy, and the order of the European Union, which was coordinated by Germany and France in the past, no longer exists.
From entry to exit, from the end of World War II to the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian War, Queen Elizabeth II witnessed the decline of the wave of “European integration ” and the widespread rise of populist politics in Europe.
In August 2019, British Prime Minister Johnson, in order to leave the European Union on schedule, asked the Queen to announce an early end to the parliamentary session, which caused some people to question the British monarchy's constitutional system.

Decline of the United Kingdom
Finally, Queen Elizabeth II witnessed the decline of the unity of the British Isles, and the separation of Scotland and Northern Ireland, which had ceased to exist, was revived at the end of her life.
The Scottish political movement began in the 19th century and initially demanded a higher degree of autonomy under British rule.
After Queen Elizabeth II took office, Scotland began to demand "devolution" and held two devolution referendums in 1979 and 1997. The devolved Scottish Parliament was formally established on 1 July 1999. In 2007, the National Party, which supported Scottish independence, became the ruling party in the devolved parliament for the first time and won an absolute majority in the 2011 Scottish parliamentary election. However, the result was still 44.7% in favor and 55.3% against.
The Irish problem stems from the 1916 Uprising. Although the United Kingdom recognized Irish independence in 1922, the six northern counties, mainly of British descent and Protestants, collectively rejected it, and eventually remained in the British version as "Northern Ireland".
However, there were also opposition forces in Northern Ireland, which joined forces with Irish veterans of the Civil War and went into armed struggle, becoming the world-renowned Irish Republican Army (IRA).
However, under the pressure and pressure of the United Kingdom, the Irish Republican Army announced in 2005 that it would abandon the armed line, and some people joined the Sinn Fein party to continue the struggle within the system.
In short, by opening its markets to Scotland and bringing the town of Northern Ireland under control, the United Kingdom maintained its national unity.
However, Brexit has opened the Pandora ’ s box, and the shrinking market and economic scale has led to the resurgence of the once-silent separatist movement.

On the Scottish side, public opinion began to propose a second referendum on independence. In June 2022, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said that the Scottish referendum was expected to be held in October 2023, but because she and the British government did not reach a consensus, Shi stressed that the referendum result is only "advisory", and whether Scotland's independence is still subject to legislation by the British Parliament on the referendum result.
As you can imagine, this proposal has already triggered a constitutional dispute.
On the Northern Ireland side, due to the market boundary between Northern Ireland and Ireland caused by Brexit, the UK signed the Northern Ireland Protocol with the EU in December 2020, promising that EU products will be free to enter Ireland and Northern Ireland, and British products entering Northern Ireland will be equivalent to entering the EU, subject to customs and border checks. In May 2022, the Sinn Fein Party, which advocated the unification of Ireland, won the general election and became the largest party in the local parliament, and Northern Ireland politics began to call for a "referendum on leaving the UK", demanding the completion of "a great cause of Irish reunification".
If Scotland insists on holding a "legal constitutional referendum", the process of legal warfare must be abandoned. If it cannot successfully negotiate with the British government, it can only hold a relatively insensitive "consultative" referendum, or wait until the results of the legal battle are released, and then let go. Northern Ireland will be more The separation referendum was used as a bargaining chip to get the British government to compromise and abandon the amendment to the Northern Ireland Protocol.
Even so, the future of British politics will be forever marred by the call for separation between the two places.
Once, the Brexit issue has kidnapped British politics for many years; in the future, this role is threatened to be taken over by Scotland and Northern Ireland.
From the British Empire to the British Isles, from the world powers to the call for a separation referendum, Queen Elizabeth II experienced the Irish Republican Army to lay down its arms, but in her later years witnessed the decline of British unity.
At the end of the day, the British National Games are not the Queen ’ s jewels, gorgeous and dazzling; rather, it is more like London after the Queen ’ s accession to the throne in 1952, which is gradually enveloped by haze.
Why did the British Empire collapse so quickly during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II?
The anti-colonial movement in Africa was surging, and the United States and Soviet Union gradually replaced the old powers of Britain and France.
Why did Britain leave?
After the sovereign debt crisis and the arrival of refugees, the growing Euroscepticism in the UK, coupled with the Conservative Party ’ s power struggle, led to the Brexit referendum being held in 2016.
What are the obstacles to the separation of Scotland and Northern Ireland?
If Scotland insists on holding a legal constitutional referendum, it is likely that it will be difficult to reach a consensus with the British government in the short term; in fact, Northern Ireland is not strong in its will to separate, and the referendum call is more of a political bargaining function.
