There is no denying that every person needs ti have a persona. One’s personality is developed through the different environments, cultures, and even obstacles faced in order to create the type of person we are.

She moved to Buckingham Palace, where she presented her very first request as Queen: to spend one hour alone - something she couldn’t do after Conroy’s Kensington System was established. In addition, she banned Conroy from her state apartments and made sure that her mother lived in separate rooms, which were the result of Conroy’s dislikable actions.
