A long career

Earlier this year, Queen Elizabeth was duly celebrated after serving on the throne for 70 years, the longest ever for a British monarch. The celebration included, among other things, a three-kilometre-long parade where more than 10,000 people took to the streets.

Queen Elizabeth’s husband Prince Philip died on April 9, 2021. The image of the grieving Queen sitting completely alone at her funeral in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle made a huge impression on the whole world.

Queen Elizabeth is also the head of Community of Nations and head of state in a number of countries, including Australia and Canada.

Queen for several generations

Royal Household expert and author of the book “King!”, Kristin Storrusten says Queen Elizabeth is an institution, with her extremely long reign. Most recently, two days ago, she met her 15th British Prime Minister when she was Queen.

– Usually one generation has its king, but she is the queen for several generations. She represents a continuity that makes the day she died extra special, Storrusten says.

The expert describes Elizabeth as a very serious young woman when she came to power.

– And she maintained that the man is subordinate to the institution of which he is a part.

Storrusten points out that this was particularly difficult when Princess Diana died in 1997.

– It’s hard because the royal family should never be the most groundbreaking and innovative, but they shouldn’t be at the back either. This requires political flair on the part of the royal family and those around them. The Queen has fallen behind on several occasions, such as when Diana died.
