Queen Elizabeth II
Queen Elizabeth II's death brings an end to the reign of Britain’s most famous monarch. The 96-year-old monarch was the longest reigning monarch in the history of the English monarchy. She ruled for more than seven decades and shaped the history of the U.K. As a constant presence, she guided the institution of the monarchy through turbulent times. In her later years, she became more involved with public life and assumed more official duties. She participated in the annual Trouping the Colour parade. Prince Charles was born to her and Prince Philip in 1969. He would grow up and become the next monarch-in-waiting.
Many people think Queen Elizabeth II is the most famous monarch in history, but she's also controversial. While her legacy is rooted deep in her royal heritage, she was also a product of her British ancestral heritage. This popularity allowed her to retain her title of head of state in many countries. As a monarch, she was a progressive, liberal, multiculturalist and constitutional monarch who advocated global multiculturalism. In a way she became a modern princess by accident. Although it is difficult to define a modern monarch accurately, Queen Elizabeth II stands out above all other British monarchs. In her state funeral broadcast to 4.1 million people, Queen Elizabeth II's popularity and respect for her family was evident. Although the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II was a sad occasion, the huge lines and the eloquent speeches were inspiring.
