"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.

SNAFFLING down a rabbit freshly caught by Prince Harry or Prince William, it’s not their wives or family but the Queen’s corgis.

The pampered pooches are probably the best-fed pets in Britain with each of their gourmet meals being prepared by the same chef that does Her Majesty’s food.

Each offering sees them given meat, rice and a selection of vegetables to ensure their digestion is perfect.

Former palace chef Darren McGrady told The Sun: “The animals really do get spoilt. The corgis when I was there even had their own menu

“[There was] chicken, liver, beef, rabbit. Prince William and Harry used to go shooting rabbits in the great park and those rabbits would then be sent to Windsor and we’d have to clean them, draw them and poach them.

“If beef is on the menu, the beef comes in from the local butcher. Then it’s boiled, no salt, no seasoning, it’s just the plain beef and it’s boiled away until it’s really tender and then it goes into the larder kitchen to cool down.”

Every meal is prepared with fresh ingredients every single day.

He added: “There’s always a bowl of rice because sometimes the dogs need a little help and there’s cabbage for the other way. That has to be prepared every day in the same kitchen the Royal Family’s nosh is prepped.

“You’re going to start by cutting it into a brunoise, which is an eighth of an inch die, a really fine dice, but when you’re doing things like rabbit and chicken, you’ve got to make sure you chop it really fine because imagine if there were bones in there that got stuck in the corgi’s throat. The royal chef’s off to the tower, I mean seriously.”

Once footmen delivered the food to the dog bowls, the Queen would stir it all together before putting it down for her canines to enjoy.

Mr McGrady also claimed that for a special treat, Her Majesty would also crumble scones on to the carpet during afternoon tea for the pups to enjoy.

While the sweet snack isn’t a usual treat for dogs it went down well with corgi breeder Kevin Dover’s seven pups.

The 64-year-old, from Ross-on-Wye on Herefordshire, has also met the Queen after the palace decided to breed from one of his dogs.

He said: “The knowledge that she possessed about the breed and bloodlines, it was like talking to somebody that you meet at the dog shows every week.”

The corgi's luxurious treatment doesn't end there as they are even treated to individual bedrooms and fresh bedding.

A source of comfort

The Sun's Royal Correspondent Matt Wilkinson said: "They have their own bedrooms, their own wicker baskets to sleep. It's also said that they also have fresh sheets to sleep with.

"It's the treatment they have because they have the Queen as their owner. They travel in luxury, they live in castles and palaces, and they also get to often meet very important people."

The Queen's first corgi of her own was Susan, who was given to her when she turned 18 and until this year, all of her other pups have been bred from Susan.

Currently, she owns Muick who was a present from Prince Andrew following the death of her husband Prince Philip.

The pets have provided a source of comfort during the incredibly difficult grieving period for the monarch.

Mr Wilkinson added: “We know that on the day Prince Phillip died she was actually out with her corgis in the gardens and also after the funeral she was out with the corgis. They are a very important part of her life.”

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.

Buckingham Palace on the official page on Twitter showed the last refuge of Queen Elizabeth II, posting a photo of the tombstone of Her Majesty in the chapel of King George VI of Great Britain.
If earlier on this plate were only the names of George VI and his wife Elizabeth, now they are added to the names of their daughter Queen and her husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
The two pairs of names are separated by the star of the Order of the Garter, the highest knightly order of the United Kingdom.
Around the slab are flowers and wreaths, including from the coffin of Elizabeth II, the flowers for which, according to media reports, was collected personally by Prince Charles.
Elizabeth II died on 8 September at her Scottish estate of Balmoral.
After her death, a plan for the funeral of the London Bridge took effect, which detailed each of the 10 days of farewell to the Queen.
The coffin with her body was transported to Edinburgh and then taken to London.
Hundreds of world leaders came together to bid farewell to the Queen, including the first lady of Ukraine Elena Zelenskaya, who managed to meet with Kate Middleton, and hundreds of thousands of citizens stretched out for hours in London.
People waited for the last time to see the coffin with the body of the Queen in Westminster Hall.
Among those who stood in line for 12 hours was footballer David Beckham.
In Windsor, to say goodbye to the hostess brought her favorite corgis Muick and Sandy, as well as pony Emma.
The closest members of the family were present at the last service.
The new king of Great Britain was Prince Charles, the eldest of four children of Elizabeth II, now he bears the name Charles III.

Content: How will the USA react to Queen Elizabeth II’s death?

Queen Elizabeth II is undoubtedly one of the most prominent figures in the entire world, and there’s no denying that her impact has stretched from beyond Britain all the way across the pond to the United States. After news recently broke that the 96-year-old Queen is currently under medical supervision, in a situation that is being described as “serious,” many are beginning to wonder how the U.S. will react to the Queen’s unfortunate passing.

For some background, Queen Elizabeth II is currently the longest-reigning monarch in the history of Britain, where she first assumed her royalty back in 1952 after the death of her father, King George VI. Since then, the Queen has celebrated several Jubilee events, including the Sapphire Jubilee and Platinum Jubilee, and cemented her legacy as one of the most decorated members of the Royal Family. As a result, the Queen’s death will certainly impact the United States as a whole.

How will Americans react?

Upon Queen Elizabeth II’s definite passing, it is vastly believed that flags all across America will be lowered and flown at half-mast, which is meant to signify a mark of respect for an individual who has died.

Additionally, many Americans believe that current President Joe Biden will deliver a public speech discussing the Queen’s unforgettable presence in the world and her extraordinary legacy. Such speech would surely make sense, seeing as the U.S. and the U.K. have been notable allies since the late 1700s, and President Biden even congratulated the Queen on her Platinum Jubilee earlier this year.

The allyship between both nations was further solidified back in 2001 when Queen Elizabeth II broke an unwavering tradition by requesting the “The Star-Spangled Banner” be played at Buckingham Palace after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States, which was seen as a strong sign of respect and solidarity between the U.S. and U.K.

With that being said, it is also commonly believed that most U.S. news channels and media outlets will discuss and celebrate the amazing legacy and life of the Queen. American television networks will also likely play documentaries and specials about the Queen’s significance in the United Kingdom, the United States, and the rest of the world.

### Origins of the Royal-Corgi Relationship

The Queen's love affair with corgis began in childhood, long before her ascension to the throne.

This early connection established a foundation that would span her entire reign.

Tennis’s Unlikely Doubles Team: The Queen and the Duchess

Kate Middleton and Queen Anne Boleyn share a love of the game—and much, much more.

Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge and England’s future queen consort, is an avid tennis fan and the royal patron to the club that hosts Wimbledon. Every year, tournament spectators eagerly look forward to what Kate will wear, and who will join her. Nearly 500 years ago it was Queen Anne Boleyn who reigned supreme in royal boxes, though her tenure came to a dramatic end in 1536, when she was arrested and charged with adultery and treason while watching a match at Greenwich.

Today, Boleyn is mostly remembered as the English queen who was beheaded. “[She] was a controversial figure, and that stigma remains for her,” Elizabeth Norton, author of Anne Boleyn: Henry VIII’s Obsession, tells Vanity Fair.

Kate, on the other hand, “is immensely popular,” says Robert Lacey, historical consultant of Netflix’s The Crown and author of Monarch: The Life and Reign of Elizabeth II. “She’s a pillar of the royal family [and] very much seen as a future queen consort.”

While it’s highly unlikely that we’ll ever see Kate being hauled off in handcuffs while Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka are on the court, the duchess seemingly has a lot in common with the former queen. For starters, neither Anne nor Kate were born into royalty. Anne’s father, Thomas, steadily gained political power and influence throughout his life, beginning with his marriage to Anne’s mother, a member of the powerful Howard family. Kate’s father, Michael, inherited wealth in the form of an educational trust fund from his family of affluent solicitors and wealthy textile manufacturers, and her mother, Carole, founded a successful party-supply business. Both women received an excellent education, which was rare in Boleyn’s time. A student of music and art, the queen may have spoken and written several languages, and she attended the court of Margaret of Austria. Kate went to some of the U.K.’s best private schools, among them Marlborough College.

The Boleyn family encouraged Anne’s relationship with Henry VIII, and this ambition is well-documented. In The Six Wives of Henry VIII, author Alison Weir writes that for Thomas Boleyn, “the prospect of being the father of the next Queen of England, and possibly grandfather to a future monarch, was more than he had ever dreamed of.” During Anne’s ascension to power, her family received lucrative lands and esteemed titles. Thomas even worked as an ambassador for Henry VIII and helped bring about his divorce from Queen Catherine of Aragon. Historians also believe Anne’s powerful uncle, Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, encouraged Anne’s relationship with Henry VIII, as he also encouraged King Henry’s marriage seven years later to Anne’s cousin Catherine Howard, who became Henry’s fifth wife in 1540. (In 1542, like her cousin Anne Boleyn, Queen Catherine Howard was also beheaded.) One could argue that the Middletons were just as strategic. Vanity Fair royal correspondent Katie Nicholl notes in her book Kate: The Future Queen, that Kate and Prince William met through a mutual friend in the summer of 1999, when Kate was 17. The next year, Kate was ecstatic when she was accepted to University of Edinburgh, where her best friends were also attending, and she planned to enroll in the prestigious art history program. Jasper Selwyn, Kate’s career adviser at school, tells Nicholl that Edinburgh was the first choice on her Universities and Colleges Admissions Service form: “As far as I am aware she had a place confirmed at Edinburgh.” However, Nicholl writes, “Kate had a dramatic and sudden change of heart. She decided to turn down her place at Edinburgh, take a gap year…and reapply for St. Andrews.” At the time, the palace had just announced that William would also take a gap year and attend St. Andrews as opposed to Edinburgh, which was originally his first choice. Society journalist Matthew Bell reported in The Spectator that “although at the time of making her application to universities it was unknown where the prince was intending to go, it has been suggested that her mother persuaded Kate to reject her first choice on hearing the news and take up her offer at St. Andrews instead.”

Growing up, the queen and the duchess both enjoyed stable households, each living alongside their parents, as well as a brother and a sister. “The evidence—such as it is—very much suggests that Anne had a happy childhood, just as we know Kate Middleton enjoyed,” says Norton. “The Boleyns certainly presented as a tight-knit unit during the 1520s and 1530s.” Thomas Boleyn labored incessantly during this period to secure educations, positions at court, and opportunistic marriages for his three children. Once Anne became Henry VIII’s mistress and eventual wife, both her siblings, as well as her parents, served in positions of honor in Anne’s household. (Anne was so close to her brother George, that sadly, the pair were falsely accused of incest during their trials in 1536.)

Similarly, Kate’s family has always maintained the appearance of a happy and supportive group. “[They] were an exceptionally close family,” Nicholl writes, “and Carole and Mike enjoyed the vibrancy of their children, the stories and noise and laughter. Every weeknight, they would eat a home-cooked supper together around the kitchen table.” Neither Henry VIII nor Prince William had the same upbringing. As was typical for a 16th-century royal prince, Henry is said to have spent his childhood living apart from his parents. English monarchs busily traveled with their court throughout the year, which was not optimal for their children. Henry’s parents also may have wanted to keep their children away from diseases which ran rampant throughout their courts. Furthermore, by the time Henry met Anne, both his mother and father were deceased. Prince William’s parents, Princess Diana and Prince Charles, separated in 1992 before finalizing their divorce in 1996, when William was 14. A year later, Diana died tragically in a car accident. In the documentary William and Harry: Brothers in Arms, NBC royal correspondent Ashley Pearson suggests that Kate’s mother filled a maternal void for William, and “feeling part of that close, tight-knit family was…entirely intoxicating for him…as much as William fell in love with Kate, he definitely fell in love with the Middleton family at the same time.”

The similarities extend to motherhood, with Kate currently portrayed in the media as a doting mom, and Anne’s maternal devotion also well documented. In addition to wanting to breastfeed Princess Elizabeth herself—a notion that “Henry was shocked at,” Weir writes—she fought ferociously to protect her daughter’s royal standing by promoting the 1534 Act of Succession. When it became clear she may be arrested, Anne ensured her daughter’s spiritual welfare by securing a promise from her chaplain Matthew Parker. Her efforts were not in vain. Her daughter grew up to become Queen Elizabeth I. Kate’s son, Prince George, is destined to become a future monarch.

The concept of royal patronage is as old as the monarchy itself. The Windsors currently support around 3,000 organizations, with Kate committed to 24, and Queen Anne took her charitable duties quite seriously as well. Weir writes that “when visiting a town or village, she sent her almoner ahead to find out…if there were any needy families in the district.” Anne would then instruct him to assign each family a sum, and she often gave poor individuals clothing she and her ladies had sewn. Additionally, Anne quarreled with the king during the English Reformation regarding the dissolution of the monasteries. Henry ordered the income from the clergy be seized and deposited into the crown’s coffers. Anne argued that although the corrupt monasteries should be dissolved, it would be unethical to profit from them, and the incomes should go to the poor. Her interference angered the king and his chief minister, Thomas Cromwell. Norton believes Anne’s intrusion led Cromwell to orchestrate her downfall, saying, “Anne’s outspoken opposition—most notably in the sermon delivered on Passion Sunday 1536 by her almoner, John Skip—was a large reason behind her fall from power and execution.”

Perhaps the greatest commonality between Kate and Anne is an ability to captivate the public. After all, Wimbledon is the only tournament where the perfect snapshot the press is fervently seeking isn’t of an athlete, but of the members of “the Firm” who faithfully sit in the Royal Box.

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.

Content: A corgi named Florence has captured the hearts of social media users after her owner, Jacqui, shared a snap of her looking 'emotional' while they watched the Queen's state funeral.

Posting on Twitter as @vanbommelj, Jacqui uploaded an image of five-year-old Florence (also known as Flo) spread out on the floor in front of the television, with the Queen's funeral procession on in the background.

She captioned the tweet, writing: "It's been an emotional week for a corgi too."

Dozens of people have since liked the tweet, with Jacqui following it up with an image of Flo also stealing the show during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations this summer.

The image, taken at a street party, shows a cardboard cut out of the Queen, with Florence's lead around it's hand, and the pooch sat obediently below, looking up at the cardboard monarch's face.

Speaking about Florence, Jacqui told The Mirror: "This is Florence a pedigree corgi who we bought from Mary Davies, a breeder in Wales. Mary Davies is part of the Welsh Corgi League and was in the documentary on the Queen’s Corgi’s as her kennel provided a sire for the Queen’s corgi’s.

"Florence has just turned five years old and is lovely natured, she qualified for Crufts but then ruined her looks by knocking a tooth out. She is much happier running on the beaches and wild spaces of the south coast where we live."

Jacqui continued to say: "She is our daughter Ruby’s dog.

"Six years ago Ruby researched the best small dog to fit our family. She settled on Corgis as at the time they were on The Kennel Club's endangered breed list, plus they are known as being a big dog in a small body. Ruby saved all her babysitting and pocket money and did a paper round to pay for half of Florence. The other half being in lieu of three birthday and Christmas presents."

Jacqui added: "Now Florence spends her time out walking every day, promoting the breed to everyone she meets letting them know that Corgis are strong obedient little dogs bred for cattle herding and will happily trek for miles which helps with weight control.

"Her other duties include keeping an ear alert for anyone passing by and attending our street parties (also posted on twitter).

"She was pictured stealing the show as we watched the funeral with my 80 year old parents who watched King George's funeral together as children. They were in the same house crowded around a small black and white TV, my mum remembers this fidgety boy, they later married and had five children. But that’s another story..."

This comes as the Queen's corgis were seen waiting for the coffin to arrive back at Windsor Castle.

Prince Andrew was seen with his late mother's dogs, Muick and Sandy as they were walked inside the grounds of the castle ahead of the Committal Service.

The Queen travels with a 96-year-old fairy, and the outside world has always been interested in her way of health.
British media reported that the Queen inherited the Windsor family's longevity genes, and did not have bad habits, although drinking but not excessive.
Darren McGrady, the Queen ’ s former “chef ”, has revealed that the Queen ’ s diet is very self-disciplined, eating simple and light daily, and maintaining a body weight of about 50 kg for a long time, which is no different from the time of marriage.
In addition to a simple and lean diet, the Queen does exercise every day, and will definitely walk and walk the dog every day, if physical conditions permit.
Riding once or twice a week at Windsor Castle when physical strength permits.
If you want to count the Queen ’ s loved ones, you can ’ t mention the Gothic dog except the Prince of Fife.
The Queen has raised more than 30 dogs in her life, but decided to stop in her 90s because she did not want them to become “orphans ” after her death. In 2018, her last dog died.
The Queen also has an English sense of humor.
She made her first 10-day visit to California in late February and early March 1983, but was affected by storms and rain.
In response, she said humorously in her speech at a dinner in San Francisco that she had known before her visit that some of Britain ’ s traditions would be “exported ” to the United States, but had not expected that“ the weather would be one of them. ”

Content: After the death of Elizabeth...
The future of the British crown is more uncertain than ever.
Britain ’ s Queen Elizabeth II passed away on Thursday at the age of 96, leaving behind an eventful history during her long reign.
Now that she ’ s gone, questions are beginning to be asked about Britain ’ s future, after Elizabeth, who has long been seen as the “pitcher of the balance ” of political life in the country for many years.
In a report published in Time magazine, writer Yasmine Sarhan said: “The almost universal phrase echoed in the eulogy of the late Queen Elizabeth II was her role as a symbol of stability in Britain, as well as a constant figure in an increasingly changing world. ”
Point of reference
Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson described it in a memorial service on Friday: “It was an unchanging human reference point in British life. ”
“The Queen has also been the star of Britain and a source of comfort, at a time when the turmoil seems to be endless, more than a symbolic face of the nation.
The challenge now for the country is how to move forward without it. ”
“While the way forward for Britain is clear (as it has been many times before), the future of the British monarchy seems less certain. ”
King Charles III inherits the throne at a time when the monarchy as an institution still enjoys widespread support in Britain, with a slight majority of 62% in favour, according to a June poll.
But the outpouring of support and admiration for the Queen should not be mixed with the unwavering support of the royal family as a whole, especially after the recent fallout over the treatment of Prince Harry and Meghan, as well as the sexual abuse allegations facing her son, Prince Andrew.
“The biggest test facing the new king is whether he can emulate his mother ’ s image of stability and preserve the institution she has spent so much of her life trying to protect, ” Sarhan said.
The Queen, who ascended the throne at the age of just 25, had a lifetime to prove herself.
Charles, 73, the oldest monarch in British history, would not have the same advantage.
Much of Charles ’ public image has been shaped by his time as Prince of Wales, including rough periods of his private life, including his relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles, now Queen Consort, his separation from Princess Diana, and his vociferous stances on wide-ranging issues such as climate change, hedging, China, and the British government ’ s controversial methods of blocking immigration.
While the Queen has maintained a reputation for neutrality, choosing to rise above controversy and leave politics to politicians, Prince Charles has done the opposite, going so far as to delve into the highest levels of politics when he wrote a series of letters in 2004 and 2005 known as the Black Spider Diary, in which he lobbied government ministers on a number of issues.
Active Inclinations
Richard Fitzwilliams, an expert on the royal family, said: “Charles has an activist leanings.
Perhaps because for the vast majority of his life, his primary job was to pursue his interests through his various foundations and charities.
Brock Newman, a historian on early modern Britain at Virginia Commonwealth University, told Time magazine: “Charles doesn ’ t have the same level of ambiguity that Queen Elizabeth II has gained so successfully over her lifetime. ”
Apart from her love of corgi and horses, Elizabeth was very careful not to express a position on a lot of things.
She has become a symbol all over the world, because people can project their hopes, dreams, fantasies and anger on her and on the institution, because she embodied the crown in a way that I think would be impossible for Charles to do, because he already represents certain things.
But for the monarchy to continue to be seen as a source of national unity, and for the king to be able to carry out his ceremonial duties without inviting partisan claims, something that sometimes even haunts his mother ’ s strictly neutral reign, Fitzwilliam said, “The new king will need to keep his views under control.
Charles has acknowledged this fact in the past, and in his first national speech since taking the throne, he acknowledged that as his role changed, it would no longer be possible for him to give so much of his time and energy to charities and causes he cares deeply about.
Preserving symbolic value
Preserving the symbolic value of the royal family is only part of the challenge of the new king.
Another is to ensure that the institution remains fit for purpose at a time when property and inheritance privileges seem increasingly obsolete.
Here, Charles and his mother were largely in lockdown.
Both recognized the inevitability of reducing the royal family, both in terms of cost to taxpayers and public appearance, in line with public opinion.
Under Charles, this effort is expected to be taken even further, by reducing the royal family to only seven active working royals charged with participating in official engagements, meeting foreign dignitaries, and representing the king in their absence, down from the current 10.
But unlike his mother, Charles will not bear the burden of caring for the crown for the next 70 years.
He just needs to do this for a long time, enough to pass it on to the next generation in a healthy state.
For the monarchy to continue to be seen as a source of national unity, and for the king to be able to carry out his ceremonial duties without inviting partisan claims, something that sometimes haunted his mother ’ s strictly neutral reign, the new king would need to keep his views under control.

Tennis’s Unlikely Doubles Team: The Queen and the Duchess

Kate Middleton and Queen Anne Boleyn share a love of the game—and much, much more.

Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge and England’s future queen consort, is an avid tennis fan and the royal patron to the club that hosts Wimbledon. Every year, tournament spectators eagerly look forward to what Kate will wear, and who will join her. Nearly 500 years ago it was Queen Anne Boleyn who reigned supreme in royal boxes, though her tenure came to a dramatic end in 1536, when she was arrested and charged with adultery and treason while watching a match at Greenwich.

Today, Boleyn is mostly remembered as the English queen who was beheaded. “[She] was a controversial figure, and that stigma remains for her,” Elizabeth Norton, author of Anne Boleyn: Henry VIII’s Obsession, tells Vanity Fair.

Kate, on the other hand, “is immensely popular,” says Robert Lacey, historical consultant of Netflix’s The Crown and author of Monarch: The Life and Reign of Elizabeth II. “She’s a pillar of the royal family [and] very much seen as a future queen consort.”

While it’s highly unlikely that we’ll ever see Kate being hauled off in handcuffs while Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka are on the court, the duchess seemingly has a lot in common with the former queen. For starters, neither Anne nor Kate were born into royalty. Anne’s father, Thomas, steadily gained political power and influence throughout his life, beginning with his marriage to Anne’s mother, a member of the powerful Howard family. Kate’s father, Michael, inherited wealth in the form of an educational trust fund from his family of affluent solicitors and wealthy textile manufacturers, and her mother, Carole, founded a successful party-supply business. Both women received an excellent education, which was rare in Boleyn’s time. A student of music and art, the queen may have spoken and written several languages, and she attended the court of Margaret of Austria. Kate went to some of the U.K.’s best private schools, among them Marlborough College.

The Boleyn family encouraged Anne’s relationship with Henry VIII, and this ambition is well-documented. In The Six Wives of Henry VIII, author Alison Weir writes that for Thomas Boleyn, “the prospect of being the father of the next Queen of England, and possibly grandfather to a future monarch, was more than he had ever dreamed of.” During Anne’s ascension to power, her family received lucrative lands and esteemed titles. Thomas even worked as an ambassador for Henry VIII and helped bring about his divorce from Queen Catherine of Aragon. Historians also believe Anne’s powerful uncle, Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, encouraged Anne’s relationship with Henry VIII, as he also encouraged King Henry’s marriage seven years later to Anne’s cousin Catherine Howard, who became Henry’s fifth wife in 1540. (In 1542, like her cousin Anne Boleyn, Queen Catherine Howard was also beheaded.) One could argue that the Middletons were just as strategic. Vanity Fair royal correspondent Katie Nicholl notes in her book Kate: The Future Queen, that Kate and Prince William met through a mutual friend in the summer of 1999, when Kate was 17. The next year, Kate was ecstatic when she was accepted to University of Edinburgh, where her best friends were also attending, and she planned to enroll in the prestigious art history program. Jasper Selwyn, Kate’s career adviser at school, tells Nicholl that Edinburgh was the first choice on her Universities and Colleges Admissions Service form: “As far as I am aware she had a place confirmed at Edinburgh.” However, Nicholl writes, “Kate had a dramatic and sudden change of heart. She decided to turn down her place at Edinburgh, take a gap year…and reapply for St. Andrews.” At the time, the palace had just announced that William would also take a gap year and attend St. Andrews as opposed to Edinburgh, which was originally his first choice. Society journalist Matthew Bell reported in The Spectator that “although at the time of making her application to universities it was unknown where the prince was intending to go, it has been suggested that her mother persuaded Kate to reject her first choice on hearing the news and take up her offer at St. Andrews instead.”

Growing up, the queen and the duchess both enjoyed stable households, each living alongside their parents, as well as a brother and a sister. “The evidence—such as it is—very much suggests that Anne had a happy childhood, just as we know Kate Middleton enjoyed,” says Norton. “The Boleyns certainly presented as a tight-knit unit during the 1520s and 1530s.” Thomas Boleyn labored incessantly during this period to secure educations, positions at court, and opportunistic marriages for his three children. Once Anne became Henry VIII’s mistress and eventual wife, both her siblings, as well as her parents, served in positions of honor in Anne’s household. (Anne was so close to her brother George, that sadly, the pair were falsely accused of incest during their trials in 1536.)

Similarly, Kate’s family has always maintained the appearance of a happy and supportive group. “[They] were an exceptionally close family,” Nicholl writes, “and Carole and Mike enjoyed the vibrancy of their children, the stories and noise and laughter. Every weeknight, they would eat a home-cooked supper together around the kitchen table.” Neither Henry VIII nor Prince William had the same upbringing. As was typical for a 16th-century royal prince, Henry is said to have spent his childhood living apart from his parents. English monarchs busily traveled with their court throughout the year, which was not optimal for their children. Henry’s parents also may have wanted to keep their children away from diseases which ran rampant throughout their courts. Furthermore, by the time Henry met Anne, both his mother and father were deceased. Prince William’s parents, Princess Diana and Prince Charles, separated in 1992 before finalizing their divorce in 1996, when William was 14. A year later, Diana died tragically in a car accident. In the documentary William and Harry: Brothers in Arms, NBC royal correspondent Ashley Pearson suggests that Kate’s mother filled a maternal void for William, and “feeling part of that close, tight-knit family was…entirely intoxicating for him…as much as William fell in love with Kate, he definitely fell in love with the Middleton family at the same time.”

The similarities extend to motherhood, with Kate currently portrayed in the media as a doting mom, and Anne’s maternal devotion also well documented. In addition to wanting to breastfeed Princess Elizabeth herself—a notion that “Henry was shocked at,” Weir writes—she fought ferociously to protect her daughter’s royal standing by promoting the 1534 Act of Succession. When it became clear she may be arrested, Anne ensured her daughter’s spiritual welfare by securing a promise from her chaplain Matthew Parker. Her efforts were not in vain. Her daughter grew up to become Queen Elizabeth I. Kate’s son, Prince George, is destined to become a future monarch.

The concept of royal patronage is as old as the monarchy itself. The Windsors currently support around 3,000 organizations, with Kate committed to 24, and Queen Anne took her charitable duties quite seriously as well. Weir writes that “when visiting a town or village, she sent her almoner ahead to find out…if there were any needy families in the district.” Anne would then instruct him to assign each family a sum, and she often gave poor individuals clothing she and her ladies had sewn. Additionally, Anne quarreled with the king during the English Reformation regarding the dissolution of the monasteries. Henry ordered the income from the clergy be seized and deposited into the crown’s coffers. Anne argued that although the corrupt monasteries should be dissolved, it would be unethical to profit from them, and the incomes should go to the poor. Her interference angered the king and his chief minister, Thomas Cromwell. Norton believes Anne’s intrusion led Cromwell to orchestrate her downfall, saying, “Anne’s outspoken opposition—most notably in the sermon delivered on Passion Sunday 1536 by her almoner, John Skip—was a large reason behind her fall from power and execution.”

Perhaps the greatest commonality between Kate and Anne is an ability to captivate the public. After all, Wimbledon is the only tournament where the perfect snapshot the press is fervently seeking isn’t of an athlete, but of the members of “the Firm” who faithfully sit in the Royal Box.
