On the unfortunate day of September 8, 2022 Queen Elizabeth has passed. This has brought so many Europeans and American people to their knees in sorrows.
In tribute to the Queen I wanted to talk about the history of the Queen. In early 1947 Princess Elizabeth was on a trip to South Africa with the current King and Queen. When they returned to the castle there was an announcement that Princess Elizabeth would marry her distant cousin Prince Philip of Greece. The marriage took place on November 20, 1947 at Westminster Abbey which was the a site for formal coronations of national significance. Thus Elizabeth was then crowned Queen of England, in the summer of 1951 King George VI (her father) fell seriously ill he later died in his sleep in 1951 to a illness called coronary thrombosis. Fast forward to April of 2021 her husband King Philip passed away from cancer at age 56. As we know now a year later Queen Elizabeth herself passed away ending the longest reign in history of 70 years.
