Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrates the 70th anniversary of the succession to the British throne and is, above all, a tribute to one of the greatest unchanging acts in history.
Her reign spanned almost the entire post-WWII era, witnessing cultural upheavals from the Beatles to Brexit, technological advances from wireless radio to zoom, and political leaders from Winston Churchill to Boris Johnson. ..
From sepia photographs of the 1953 crown to an emotional television speech to a country at stake in the 2020 pandemic, as long as most British live, the Queen will be in British life. It was an immutable existence.
Her victory — a historic visit to South Africa and Ireland — lifted the country. Her sorrow is the tragic days after Princess Diana’s death in a car accident in Paris, or the country’s sorrow due to Covid’s isolation of her sorrow to her deceased husband, Prince Phillip. ..
Perhaps no one is alive and has met so many famous people, a gallery of heroes and villains from Nelson Mandela to Vladimir Putin. But perhaps the longest-lasting trace of the longest-serving British monarch in history is her countless encounters with the general public.
