The REIGN OF ELIZABETH II came to an end after 70 years on 8 September 2022, but her legacy will no doubt last much longer. In this English royal history documentary from History Calling, I’ll provide a biography of Queen Elizabeth II, the longest reigning monarch in British history and a woman who will be sorely missed around the world. We’ll look at who the Queen’s parents were, at the life of Elizabeth II before she was queen and at how the then Princess Elizabeth of York (known as Lilibet within the family) found herself in line for the throne after the abdication crisis of 1936 when her uncle, King Edward VII, gave up the crown in order to marry Wallis Simpson.
I’ll discuss Princess Elizabeth’s wartime efforts and her romance with Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who she wed in 1947. The video will then cover her early married life and the birth of her first two children, Prince Charles and Princess Anne, before we get to the death of George VI in February 1952 and the Queen’s accession to the throne and coronation. I’ll discuss her long reign, including her relationship with historical figures such as Sir Winston Churchill and the major trials and tribulations she faced within and beyond her family. We’ll look at the difficulties she encountered when her sister, Princess Margaret, wanted to marry Peter Townshend in the 1950s and at the four scandalous divorces which rocked the royal family as Margaret, then three of the Queen’s four children all split from their spouses. This will include the very difficult breakdown of the marriage of Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales which contributed to the Queen’s annus horribilis in 1992, a year which also saw her beloved Windsor Castle suffer serious fire damage. Moving on through the 1990s, we’ll think about how the death of Princess Diana affected the Queen and her public image and how, after that nadir in her reputation, she rebuilt the royal brand with the help of her family to become an immensely popular figure the globe over, with the love and respect for her culminating in her Platinum Jubilee celebrations just a few months before her death. In the course of this video you’ll hear some little known facts about Elizabeth II and learn about the history of the house of Windsor during the 20th and 21st centuries.

EDIT: I have a small correction - Lord Mountbatten was killed in August 1979. Sorry about that! I don't really have a question for this video in the way that I usually do. If you'd like to leave a little tribute to the Queen in the comments though, please feel free to use this space to do so.

We would have understood if you even waited until after her official funeral and internment in St George's Chapel in the King George VI Chapel. I really wasn't expecting this until possibly the end of the month so this is quite a surprise thank you.

A fitting tribute to Queen Elizabeth II. She calmed us during the times of hardship. Not just in her realm. For example, after 9/11 she broke from tradition by directing the Coldstream Guard to play America’s national anthem. That meant so much to us. I know many countries whom she has helped in some form. She also charmed us with her witty remarks and her smile. I always looked forward to her Christmas address. We shall miss her at Christmas. I am going to miss her smile. My deepest sympathies to everyone in the UK, Ireland and the Commonwealth. BTW, her wedding veil was gorgeous. I never noticed it until now. R.I.P. Queen Elizabeth II 💐

@HistoryCalling Год назад

Yes, I remember her having the US National Anthem played. That was a lovely gesture. Thank you for reminding me. I wish I'd thought to include that detail in the video now. Yes, the wedding veil was amazing (the dress too of course).

@Kari_B61ex Год назад

Thank you. A fitting tribute to our amazing Queen. I saw her majesty when she visited the city where I live in an open-topped car, we had waited for many hours. If memory serves me, I was about 10. I then, many years later, married a soldier - he served our Queen, as did I. Every time he left me and our daughters for his 'work' I reminded myself that he was doing so for Queen and County. When I heard that she had died last week, I was in shock, I still remain so today.

@HistoryCalling Год назад

I just saw her once too, very fleetingly, but I'm glad I have that memory now. I can't believe she's gone either.

@kmayville70 Год назад

Been waiting for this... still in a bit of denial. All the images of Princess Anne are breaking my heart. I love that she was included in the Vigil of the Princes. And her curtsy completely broke me. I know the Queens sons are grieving as well of course, but I have such empathy for the Princess right now for some reason. Great job as always.. ❤

@HistoryCalling Год назад

Yes, I've always liked Princess Anne. She's a hard worker (not that her brothers aren't). It's very sad to see how broken-hearted they all are. I feel for them having to be on camera so much at the moment. They didn't even get 24 hours after her death to mourn in private.

@xxcrazytinkxx3475 Год назад

I Agree! When I saw Princess Anne, Outside Holyrood as the Queen's Coffin was brought inside. She looked Heartbroken 😭😭😭A few other Royals were also there but I couldn't help bursting into tears, After watching Anne trying so hard to keep it together. She looked Completely Devastated.

@History Calling, a Great BIG THANK YOU!!! Wonderful video. I still can't believe she's really gone. I was really hoping she make it as long as her mum, but 96 isn't bad either. Long life abd kept her promise. I just wish for her sake these last few years weren't as trying for her as they were. But she's now with her beloved Phillip and in a better place. I find it amazing that England's longest reigning monarchs were women Elizabeth I 44 Yrs. 117 days, Queen Victoria 63 Yrs. 216 days & Queen Elizabeth II 70 Yrs. 214 days. Please correct me if I got these wrong.

A very good biography, it covered all the essentials. I feel a bit silly, but before now I did not know her full name. One of the very few things that were new to me in this video.

@kate_cooper Год назад

A lovely video. The Queen was a very strong and determined woman. She had quite a few setbacks in her life from losing her father at a young age, to losing her mother and sister within weeks of each other, to contracting covid in her 90s, but she just knuckled down and got on with it. Imagine being 96 and never retiring because you promised not to at the age of 21, and even though almost everyone you were speaking to is now dead and replaced with a completely different set of people, you believe it still applies. As you said, she’s earned her rest. And I think we’ll see a lot of girls born this year who have Elizabeth as either a first name or middle name.

I hadn't thought of how it might affect baby names, but I think you're probably right. Lots of little Elizabeths are probably coming now (which is lovely).

God bless her and give her eternal peace, she has earned it.🙏

Wonderful tribute to Her Majesty. I enjoyed the new selection of pictures and video clips after seeing the standard ones over and over during the past few days. Also, how is it that I've never heard that her children were delivered by c-section? I'm assuming that all of them were delivered in that manner since V-back wasn't a thing in those days. You also mention the decimalization of British currency. I was in London for a long weekend in 1969 and it was a real challenge because you had to be sure if you paid someone in "new pence" that they gave you change in new pence too. It was a double challenge because you had to deal with not just one unfamiliar set of coins, but two. I'd forgotten about that. Thank you for a great report.

This was a beautiful and historically faithful tribute to HMTQ. Do you think you could do a video on Edward VIII and Mrs Simpson? So many of the current videos are rumor and gossip laden. I know you would treat the subject with due care and accurate sources.

This lady was the true reason Britain was great. May she be at peace knowing she was the inspiration for many generations. Sleep in peace Ma'am, reunited with your beloved Philip 😢💔. Thank you for your dedication to us, your peoples. BTW, History Calling, I have tears in my eyes watching this. Thank you.

This was just beautifully and elegantly presented. Thank you so much. I do have one question about the early years of her reign. When Margaret fell in love with Peter Townsend, only two small children stood between her and the queen in the order of succession. The former Edward VIII was still very much alive over in France, and I wonder how much concern about the stability of the monarchy still lingered behind the scene? Nobody every mentions this, but I wonder if there was much more alarm than we ever heard about over what the Duke of Windsor might do if Margaret's marriage to a divorced man was officially approved. Especially since the queen and government knew more at the time than the public did about the friendships Edward had formed with the nazis (who were still active in England and elsewhere). What if he'd precipitated a crisis and demanded to be restored to the throne? So perhaps you are right and Margaret's romance had cooled, but perhaps there were also deeper concerns about "Uncle David's" reaction. I know that I, like practically everyone else in the whole world at the time, was hoping Margaret and Peter Townsend would find happiness, and I'm sorry that happiness seems to have eluded her.

Hmm, interesting question. I don't think he could have demanded restoration, as he'd willingly abdicated, but I don't know what he thought about Margaret's marriage. She was going to have to give up her succession rights if the 1770s Act had been amended, so I don't think it would have paved a road back for him. Of course the irony is, she ended up getting divorced too and only 6 years after he died.

Goodbye, dearest Elizabeth. May you rest in peace. You always showed such tact and decorum which I always admired you for. From America, with love.

@HistoryCalling Год назад

Yes, she definitely deserved to rest in peace. It's incredible that she was working until 2 days before her death at the age of 96.

Thank you. 96 years to sum up in a relatively Short Time is Hard work. But Well done! 👍🏻 I am from Germany and always Look up to her. A Great Woman that i deeply respected. I mourn her death with so many People around the World and it is touching to See her Personal Legacy in her children and grandchildren ( most of). I am proud to live in this second Elisabethian Time. Rest in Peace , you deserve it! 🦋

Yes, it was very tough to fit her life into one video, but I'm happy with the result. I couldn't cover everything, but I think I got all the most important bits.

@Bus_Driver_Jay Год назад

I still can’t fully believe it. The queen was the only monarch that trained a horse that won the grand national. Her last horse to win a race was the city I live near, Worcester. I hope you’re well, Dr. Ms. History.

@Bus_Driver_Jay Год назад

I love the thought that she held off against death itself to ensure we got a PM. How poignant is it that she dispensed her last duty before resting?

@HistoryCalling Год назад

Yes, I was just saying to another commenter that it's wild that she was still working until 48 hours before her death at the age of 96. Such an incredible work ethic and dedication to duty.

@Bus_Driver_Jay Год назад

@@HistoryCalling It’s a work ethic I can only dream of. Many a day I’ve woken and asked what the point is, especially when you have a day like today
