Elizabeth II

why do we like birthday

1992 was a very bad year for Queen Elizabeth II- Prince Charles and princess Diana announced that they were to divorce, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson DID divorce, and then at the end of the year a large part of Windsor Castle was gutted by a huge fire, which destroyed several state rooms and badly damaged St. George's Chapel. She wryly described the year as her 'annus horribilis'. In that year she also made state visits to Malta, France and Germany.

She made a considerbale number of state visits throughout the 1990s, including to Russia, Hungary, South Africa, Malaysia, Poland, the Czech Republic, India and South Korea (Google can provide you with a full time-line of her state visits).

Charles and Diana finally divorced on 28th August 1996. The following year, Diana was killed in a car crash in a Parisian underpass on 31st August along with her lover Dodi Fayed and their driver, Henri Paul. Her death shocked and stunned the British nation, and saw an outpouring of emotional mourning not seen since the death of Winston Churchill 32 years earlier. The Queen declared an official period of mourning and lead the official State funeral. Prince Charles later went on to court his long-time sweetheart Camilla Parker-Bowles.

Queen Elizabeth's youngest son prince Edward married his long-time girlfriend Sophie Rhys-Jones on 19th June 1999. At the Millenium Celebrations at the end of that year, the Queen gave a special address to the nation, and there was a firework display at Buckingham Palace.

Her younger sister, Princess Margaret, died on 9th February 2002 at the age of 72, from a stroke caused by arteriosclerosis brought on by a lifetime of heavy smoking.

Only 7 weeks later, the Queen also lost her mother, who passed away on 31st March at the great age of 101. However, the year progressed on to a happier note when she celebrated her Golden Jubilee in early June.

You haven't said which throne, but if you mean the British monarchy, next in line after Queen Elizabeth II is her son, Prince Charles, and next in line after Prince Charles is his oldest son, Prince William. There are a whole lot of more people in line, too, after them.

No. While Queen Elizabeth did keep certain Catholic symbols, such as the crucifix, she was Protestant.

Strong proof of this is the fact that she, according to Catholic law, was illegitemate, and thus would not have been able to take the throne.

However, at least publically, she was mostly pragmatic in her relations with religion.

Well, if a male member of the royal family gets married then his wife would become princess (and queen when husband becomes king) whereas if a female member gets married the husband stays a commoner but is sometimes known as prince, so therefore Philip was never known as king.

During World War II, Princess Elizabeth joined the war effort as a member of the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service (WATS), and became trained as a driver. She also learned how to become a mechanic and change tires.

Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, has only appeared on two British coins to date.

1. The 1981 25 Pence (Crown) coin commemorating his marriage to Lady Diana Spencer.

2. The 1998 Five Pound (Crown) coin commemorating his 50th Birthday.

The 1977 coin to which you possibly refer is the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II commemorative 25 Pence (Crown) coin.

Queen Elizabeth II's personal worth has never been officially disclosed, but was recently estimated at 13 blillion pounds.

The queen of The United Kingdom is the richest monarch living today.

In addition, she owns large estates which have not been formally valued and she owns The Duchy of Lancaster which is estimated to be worth $310 million.

Titled royals do not hold a surname, but when one is needed, Queen Elizabeth Alexandra Mary II uses the name Windsor. Her descendants use the surname Mountbatten-Windsor to honor her husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, with the family name Mountbatten.

Her title is not "Queen of England." That title has not existed for over 300 years. Elizabeth II is Queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms. England is a part of, but not the same as, the United Kingdom.

Her Majesty the Queen of Canada is on the Canadian one-cent coin because Her Majesty is the Canadian head of State. Canada has always featured the current Canadian monarch on its coinage. Her Majesty is also featured on the 5¢, 10¢, 25¢, $1 and $2 coins, and the Queen's portrait is featured on the twenty-dollar bill.

The Queen of England doesnt rule the country like in the old times but she has some influence on the parliament and she advices the Prime Minister. She overlooks and organzies national ceremonies, does charity work, and is still the main figure of the nation (she represents England in events like a meeting with the US President or Prime Minister of some country.)the queen is a modern lady that like to live for her country to help others and receive help from others.

Several commonwealth countries use dollars and cents instead of pounds and pence. Please post a new question with the name of the country that issued the coin.

She didn't have a daughter that died. The only daughter she has is anne
