   Most people will look upon 2019 as not a particularly good year for the institution but the queen came out pretty well, the monarchy has evolved over 1,000 years. It has had all sorts of circumstances running against it, but it has survived. It survived 1992, it survived the abdication of (King Edward VIII in) 1936, it survived 2019.

2. Hugo Vickers:

   I’ve always thought Queen Elizabeth II should be called Elizabeth the Steadfast, i think it’s a perfect way of describing Queen Elizabeth II. Queen Elizabeth II was n’t necessarily expecting to be queen, and Queen Elizabeth II embraced that duty. ’’ As the elder daughter of King George V’s second son, Elizabeth, now 95, was expected to live the life of a minor royal when she was born on April 21, 1926. Dogs and horses, a country house, a suitable match — a comfortable but uneventful life — seemed her future. But everything changed a decade later when King Edward VIII, King Edward VIII, abdicated so King Edward VIII could marry the American divorcee Wallis Simpson. Elizabeth’s father became King George VI, making the young princess heir apparent. George VI, whose struggles to overcome a stutter were portrayed in the 2010 film.
