A
After the end of the war, Elizabeth attended public
functions and travelled a lot throughout the British
Isles. She accompanied her parents and sister
on overseas tours. Elizabeth married Lieutenant
Philip Mountbatten, now Prince Philip, The Duke
of Edinburgh. The Royal couple had four children
(and later seven grandchildren).
B
She never fully recovered from her husband’s
loss – he died of typhoid – and she remained in
mourning [Trauer] for the rest of her life. Among
the great achievements of her reign was probably
the expansion of the British Empire, which doubled
in size, taking in India, Australia, Canada and parts of Africa and the South Pacific.

Princess Elizabeth was born in London on 21 April 1926. Her father was King
George VI and her mother was Queen Elizabeth. She grew up at the Royal Lodge in
Windsor, her parents’ country home near London. The princess also spent much time
at the country homes of her grandparents, King George V and Queen Mary. Princess
Elizabeth was educated at home with Princess Margaret, her younger sister. Later she
studied constitutional history, law, art and music.

D
Only five years after her marriage, Elizabeth received the news of the death of her
father, King George VI, during a journey to Kenia. A year after her father’s death her
coronation [Krönung] took place in Westminster Abbey. As the Queen of England,
Elizabeth became head of the Navy, Army and Air Force of Britain. The Queen
maintains close contact with the Prime Minister and the government.
E
Mr Melbourne, the Prime Minister, aged 58 and a widower [Witwer] who had lost his
only daughter, viewed her as his own “child”, and encouraged in her a conservative
approach [konservative Haltung] to her task of ruling Britain. He was also concerned
for her personal well-being.

F
That was the time when she learned to ride (she has been a horsewoman ever since)
and enjoyed her hobbies like amateur theatre and swimming. As the Princess grew
older she began to take part in public life and carried out her first public engagements
[Verpflichtungen], particularly with children’s matters. Shortly after her 18th birthday,
Elizabeth took over some of the duties of a Head of State during the King’s absence.
G
One of the recent events was when Prince Charles married his long-time lover Mrs
Camilla Parker-Bowles. In the near future Elizabeth is going to celebrate her 80th
birthday. The Queen continues to carry out her official duties after over 50 years on
the Throne, including travelling to foreign countries, hosting receptions and attending
public ceremonies.
H
She receives all Cabinet papers and daily summaries of events in Parliament. The
Queen is patron or president of over 700 organisations. With her husband Prince Philip
she undertook innumerable visit tours to foreign countries. Each year she undertakes a
large number of engagements, for example some 478 (!) in 2003.
I
Beside her public duties, Her Majesty entertains some 48,000 people at Royal
Garden Parties and other occasions every year. She also appears at many festivals and
ceremonies. A few years ago she celebrated her golden wedding anniversary which
was a memorable royal event.
