An unbelievable decision Are you ready for it? Can you imagine, after over sixty-three years of reigning, our Queen abdicates? She ascended the throne on 6th February 1952 when her father King George VI passed away. This had to become King after his brother (Edward VIII) had abdicated. Better late than never! It is official, she is stepping down but do we know the original reason? Well, there are several rumors but none of them are relevant! A storm in a tea cup or could this matter turn out to be very serious? I may as well tell you that all the English feel concerned and a bit under pressure.. Nevertheless, let’s not forget that it is the longest reigning monarch in history and our Queen was willing to take the throne by announcing …show more content…
But let’s face it, Kate is beautiful, elegant, charismatic and smart, she would be a perfect fit as the new Queen. Nevertheless, in order for William to feel more able to become the new English King and to have enough experience, he needs more time. Another significant issue is that if Prince William succeeded the Queen, there would be a problem of an infant heir (George) unless we find baby George a fashionable XXS crown!! Sorry girls, our cute George is way too young for any kind of …show more content…
Being a king involves being in contact with English and international media but Prince William publicly stated his dislike for the press which may be caused by his parents’ divorce and his mother’s tragic death that were strongly represented in the media for many years. That is an issue, since, ,let’s be honest, we are fan of media and gossip! Prince Charles on BBC weather, hoping that the “reign” will end… Everyone does not agree with the idea of Prince William and Kate becoming our King and Queen but instead having Prince Charles, Her Majesty’s son, and his wife, Camilia, taking over the throne. Despite the public’s preference, it is very unlikely that Charles would give up the throne but this is just a rumour... however, Prince Charles has always been educated to become King throughout his life. But wouldn't it be better to skip a generation for the sake of keeping the royal family relevant, vital and trendy? As you probably know, Prince Charles has a lot of experience when it comes to royal affairs. He supports the Queen and represents her both in the United Kingdom and other countries all over the
The English had been under the combined rule of both the king and the assembly for so long that they were not ready to give all the power of government to a single person. The least influential, Charles I, was born in 1600 and died 1649 when he inherited the throne parliament was very upset with the monarchy and sought to lessen the power of the monarchy. Charles I tried to rule without consenting Parliament, but Parliament had so much control at the time that he failed to decrease its power. However, Charles believed in the divine rights of kings. Charles went on to oppress his people by levying taxes without the consent of the parliament. Many of his subjects saw him as a tyrannically oppressive leader. He created

Throughout it’s long and storied history, Britain has seen many skilled rulers come and go. King William the Conquerer led the Norman conquests in 1066, and also helped to make England more defensible by improving infrastructure and raising a formal British army for the first time. Queen Elizabeth I, the “Virgin Queen” famously defended her country from the mighty Spanish armada with her small, yet agile navy, and reigned over a golden era of scientific progress and art. King Henry VIII sought to promote a progressive parliamentary government by increasing representation in both Houses of parliament, and Queen Victoria took a floundering Britain, dealing with mounting demand for constitutional shift and a general dislike of government procedure, and reformed it into a nation where the monarchy ruled for the people, and took a back seat in many cases to the authority of parliament, effectively reforming the role of the monarchy for the contemporary age.
I believe this also creates tremendous power to whom bears the crown. Let’s speak about this “power” I don’t only mean by controlling other (people of the country), there are other forms of power not being discussed like, righteousness, honor, and triumph. These ‘powers” has been giving to the king for possessing the crown. Another interesting fact about the people who wears this “crown” they will always be in power until they take their last breathe and even then if they have children the title would be passed down to them. Essentially its like they acquired another power:
agree to that. I'm happy as long as I become the new Queen. I will

King Thomas also asked Prince Harry to take over the thrones now. Prince also was mentally ready, but Queen Fiona was really unhappy and called up his son privately for a meeting. She then said the prince that he couldn’t become the king. And she also informed him that the reason behind was he didn’t have the royal blood in his body. She also added that she had an affair earlier and her lover died in the war. The prince got really angry with his mother and on to ask the king about all these facts that was hidden to him.
Prince William and Harry are second and third in the line of succession to the British throne.
In addition The Monarch is a national icon. An icon which cannot be replaced adequately by any other politician or personality. This is because the British Monarchy embodies British history and identity in all its aspects, both good and bad. When you see the Queen you not only see history since 1952, when she took the throne, but you see a person who provides a living sense of historical continuity with the past. A living continuity between the past, the present and the future. That's something that no politician can provide. All politicians come and go, but Monarchy is forever. With its traditions, its history, its ceremonial, and with its standing and respect throughout the world, the British Monarchy represents a unique national treasure, without which the United Kingdom would be sorely impoverished.
Queen Elizabeth I Queen Elizabeth, the first, proved to be a very good and loyal monarch to England. She brought about many changes, both good and bad. On September 7, 1533 a baby girl came into the world. Back then many parents would have been greatly disappointed to have had a baby girl, rather then a boy. However these parents were glad by the birth of their first child together. These proud parents were the king and queen of England, King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. The girl child was named Elizabeth. The only reason for the birth of Elizabeth had been that she would have been male so that he could have been the heir to King Henry the VIII. It wasn’t until two years later that Henry realized he wasn’t going to get
