2025 - Elizabeth II: this tragic reason why she did not celebrate her 70 years of reign with great fanfare this Sunday

[ad_1]

This Sunday, February 6, 2022 marks the seventieth anniversary of the reign of Elizabeth II. If she is the first monarch in history to cross the historic milestone of 70 years on the throne, she will not celebrate the latter with great fanfare for a tragic reason.

On February 6, 1952, at the age of 25, Elizabeth II acceded to the British throne. If the Queen of England is the first monarch in history to cross the historic milestone of seventy years on the throne, she has nothing planned for this Sunday, February 6, 2022. And for good reason, this date also marks the seventieth anniversary of the death of his father, George VI of a coronary thrombosis in his sleep, at the age of 56. On February 6, 1952, it was at 7:30 a.m. that the king’s second valet, Jimmy MacDonald, saw the king dead, when he came to bring him his tea. So, Elizabeth II and the prince philip were on an official trip to Australia and New Zealand, with a stopover in Kenya. According to her companion, Pamela Mountbatten, the latter would have said then: “I am so sorry. It means we all have to go home.“

With a day in advance, it is Saturday February 5, 2022 thatElizabeth II gave a reception at his residence in Sandringham. For the occasion, she was joined by members of the Sandringham Women’s Institute, pensioners who live on the Sandringham estate, West Norfolk Befriending and Little Discoverers, a charity for children with disabilities. In a teasing mood, that’s when the decorative emblem on her cake was the wrong way up for her so it could be seen by the press, which she quipped: “They can see it. I don’t mind, I don’t matter… Well, I think I can probably read it backwards!“

Elizabeth II, will she celebrate her Platinum Jubilee?

In a few months, it is from June 2 to 5, 2022 that the celebrations of the Platinum Jubilee ofElizabeth II will stand. And for good reason, his official coronation took place on June 2, 1953, at Westminster Abbey. For the occasion, more than 1,400 “grand jubilee lunches” will take place in the streets across the country on Sunday, June 5, 2022. International columnist at France 24 and expert on the royal family, Philip Turle underlined: “The British have only one desire, to go party from June 2 to 5. The idea is to pick up people alone, to celebrate the Queen together.“
