The main reason for choosing this theme
The main
reason for choosing this theme is the absence of
material about the life of Elizabeth II in school textbooks. I really love the English language and I want to know as much as possible about this country. I will try to answer basic questions about certain aspects of the life of the Queen of England Elizabeth II, which, on the one hand, shaped her character and, on the other hand, her personality.

Elizabeth II
(born 21.04.1926) - Queen of United Kingdom.
Elizabeth II (Elizabeth

The Queen's Early Life
Elizabeth was thirteen years old
when World War II broke out, and she and
her younger sister, Princess Margaret, were evacuated to Windsor Castle, Berkshire. There was some suggestion that the two princesses be evacuated to Canada, to which their mother made the famous reply: "The children won't go without me. I won't leave the King. And the King will never leave.“ When she was 13 years old, she first met her future husband Prince Philip. She fell in love with him and began writing to him when he was in the Royal Navy.

How to contact the Queen
You can write to
Her Majesty at the following address:
Her Majesty The Queen
Buckingham
Palace
London SW1A 1AA
If you wish to write a formal letter, you can open with 'Madam' and close the letter with the form 'I have the honour to be, Madam, Your Majesty's humble and obedient servant'.
This traditional approach is by no means obligatory. You should feel free to write in whatever style you feel comfortable.

Conclusion
In spite of problems and public
stresses, Elizabeth refuses to slow down. She continues to
enjoy time with her family, country life, horse-breeding, and horse-racing. Likewise, Elizabeth continues to practice her royal duties. Queen Elizabeth II has perhaps been accused of being slow to change, but she has ever worked for the good of her country.
