The attributes of self-discipline, of quiet good-humored resolve and of fellow feeling still characterize this country." "I think she'll be seen as dutiful, good at her job and self-sacrificing in many ways." As head of state and national matriarch, she reassured the British people and emphasized the country's traditional values. Many Britons were furious and saw the queen as out of touch and uncaring.

Brush them as in a pair of shoes, or touch them lightly?”) The Queen, having not been reared to put herself forward, was well adapted to putting her country first. For her own self-preservation, and for the preservation of the institution that she embodied and led, it was often wise to withdraw behind a gilded curtain. In her first Christmas broadcast to the nation, in December, 1952, she spoke of dedicating herself to the service of her subjects, whom she asked to pray that God grant her wisdom and strength, so “that I may faithfully serve Him, and you, all the days of my life.” As Ben Pimlott, one of the Queen’s more subtle biographers, has written, “the impact of such clichéd phrases came from the disturbing sense that she meant them.” After her father’s coronation, the eleven-year-old Elizabeth wrote a six-page account of the day’s events, neatly completed in pencil and dedicated “To Mummy and Papa In Memory of Their Coronation From Lilibet by Herself.” In it, she recounted her excitement at being woken at 5 a.m. “The arches and beams at the top were covered with a sort of haze of wonder as Papa was crowned, at least I thought so.” by a band of the Royal Marines playing outside her window at Buckingham Palace, and she commented on how beautiful her parents looked in their ceremonial robes.

The sight of the youthful sovereign soberly entering what was to be seven decades of service helped inspire what became a mostly enduring personal respect and affection for her among the populace she nominally headed. By instinct, constitution, and training, the Queen knew that what was demanded of her was an almost superhuman splitting of self. Characteristically conservative, she was initially opposed to the televising of her coronation, a position that Downing Street supported, noting in a memo that, were a live broadcast to take place, “any mistakes, unintentional incidents or undignified behaviour by spectators would be seen by millions of people.” Just as the breath of kingship passed invisibly into her with her father’s passing, the perquisites and responsibilities of majesty were bestowed on her in that secret ceremony beneath the cloth of gold. But off limits to viewers was the arcane ritual of the anointing of the monarch—when the Queen, seated beneath a canopy of golden cloth held aloft by four enrobed Knights of the Garter, was daubed on her hands, forehead, and chest with holy oil borne in a twelfth-century gold-and-silver spoon.

Queen Elizabeth, Canada's head of state and the longest-reigning British monarch, has died. She was 96.

In 2020, she was praised for offering a sense of calm strength and reassurance as the coronavirus pandemic continued. At Philip's funeral on April 17, 2021, Elizabeth led a small group of family members as pandemic restrictions at the time meant the funeral service was limited to 30 people. Her strong sense of duty was on display particularly as she urged resilience early in the pandemic through a rare televised address. Renowned as much for her composure as the colourful clothing she wore to make sure she could be seen in a crowd, Elizabeth rarely showed her true emotions in public. That year, among other events, the marriages of three of her four children crumbled, a tell-all book about Diana was published and a fire devastated part of Windsor Castle, a royal residence she particularly favoured. Elizabeth was heavily criticized for not responding publicly immediately following Diana's death, but days later she delivered a heartfelt speech on TV in which she expressed admiration for her former daughter-in-law. Elizabeth Alexandra Mary was born in London on April 21, 1926, the first child to Prince Albert and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, the Duke and Duchess of York.

Over the course of 70 years and twenty-three Royal Tours, Queen Elizabeth II saw this country from coast to coast to coast and was there for our major, historical milestones.

As momentous as the death of Queen Elizabeth II may be after 70 years on the throne, it's pretty much business as usual in terms of Canada's governance.

There are also a number of protocols surrounding the official 10-day mourning period. Dissolution by demise of the Crown was abolished in the U.K. For instance, Canada's Privy Council, which includes all current and former cabinet ministers, is expected to meet when a new monarch ascends the throne. It was obviously “impractical and disruptive” in more modern times, as parliaments began sitting regularly and the monarch's role became more ceremonial.
