"Therefore I am sure that this, my Coronation, is not the symbol of a power and a splendor that are gone but a declaration of our hopes for the future, and for the years I may, by God's Grace and Mercy, be given to reign and serve you as your Queen."

● In 2022, Queen Elizabeth II became the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee. In the UK celebrations were inspired by jubilees throughout history. ● The focal point of the celebrations took place over Jubilee Weekend, an extended bank holiday from Thursday 2 June to Sunday 5 June 2022. ● Historic Royal Palaces celebrated this extraordinary achievement with onsite and online experiences. In March, the&nbsp;Life Trough a Royal Lens&nbsp;exhibition at&nbsp;Kensington Palace&nbsp;explored 200 years of royal photography. ●The centrepiece of our celebrations was&nbsp;Superbloom,&nbsp;a new natural landscape surrounding&nbsp;the&nbsp;Tower of London. Over 20 million flower seeds were sown in the moat. Designed to bloom and evolve over the course of the summer, Superbloom became a new haven for pollinators in London and a space to celebrate the value of nature for wellbeing.

Princess Elizabeth was living a quiet family life until 1936, when her grandfather, King George V, died. His eldest son came to the throne as King Edward VIII, but soon he decided to give up the throne in order to marry Mrs Wallis Simpson. Upon King Edward VIII's abdication, Princess Elizabeth's father acceded to the throne as King George VI. In May 1937 the two Princesses attended their parents' Coronation in Westminster Abbey. From now on, Princess Elizabeth was the first in line to the throne.

This book was written by 2.a class of Pavao Ritter Vitezović HIgh School in Senj, Croatia. Our mentor for this project was English and Italian teacher Nina Novak. The students who participated in the making of the book are Željka Devčić, Franziska Magdalena Habarta, Tea Španić, Laura Dabac, Luna Janušić, Ana Bacher and Petra Katalinić. What inspired us to write the book was the Queen's 70th anniversary on the throne and Prince Charles' coronation. While researching, we learned a lot about Elizabeth's childhood and reign over the past 70 years, what is Commonwealth, Charles - the new king and about the entire family. We hope that you enjoy reading our little book full of interesting information as much as we enjoyed making it.

● Member countries of the Commonwealth can therefore have different constitutions: a republic with a president as Head of State (such as India and South Africa), an indigenous monarchy (for example, Lesotho, Malaysia, Swaziland and Tonga), a sultanate (Brunei), an elected Paramount Chieftaincy (Western Samoa), or a realm recognising The Queen as Sovereign (for example the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Barbados) ● Whichever form their constitution takes, member countries all recognise The King as Head of the Commonwealth ● Today the Commonwealth continues to play an important social and political role in the world, as a major association of countries ● The term 'Commonwealth' was first used by British Liberal politician Lord Rosebery in Adelaide, Australia, in 1884. During a famous speech, he referred to the British Empire as 'a Commonwealth of Nations'.

Queen Elizabeth II ruled for 70 years and witnessed&nbsp;seven jubilees&nbsp;over the course of her time as head of state. The Queen had her first jubilee-like event in 1962 which was marked through the minting of gold coins bearing the young monarch’s head portrait. Elizabeth II had her second silver jubilee&nbsp;in 1977 to celebrate 25 years on the throne. The 51-year-old Queen lit a bonfire beacon which then set off a chain reaction to other beacons across the UK.&nbsp; In 1992, a third jubilee occurred and marked the Queen’s 40th year on the throne.The event was low profile compared to other such events.&nbsp; In her 50th year as head of state, the Queen marked her golden jubilee and celebrated the occasion despite the death of her sister and mother, Princess Margret, and the Queen Mother that same year.&nbsp; Her diamond jubilee was in 2012 and was the first such jubilee since the reign of Eilzabeth’s great great grandmother, Queen Victoria.&nbsp; In 2017, the Sapphire jubilee was marked and in 2022, the Queen celebrated her platinum jubilee, a first for the Royal Family.&nbsp; The Queen was the first monarch in British history to receive a platinum jubilee.

After 70 years of its existence, the Commonwealth is a remarkable organisation which remains a major force for change in the world today.

The origins of the Commonwealth come from Britain's former Empire. Many of the members of the Commonwealth were territories which had historically come under British rule at various times by settlement, conquest or cession. The administration of such colonies evolved in different ways, to reflect the different circumstances of each territory. After achieving independence, India was the first of a number of countries which decided that, although they wished to become republics, they still wanted to remain within the Commonwealth. To reconcile these aims, the 1949 London Declaration recognised King George VI as Head of the Commonwealth. Following his death, the Commonwealth leaders recognised Queen Elizabeth II in that capacity. The role of Head of the Commonwealth&nbsp;is not hereditary, however following an unanimous decision by Commonwealth leaders in 2018, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, His Majesty The King became Head of the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth is a voluntary association of 56 independent and equal countries&nbsp;in Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe and the Pacific, free association of sovereign&nbsp;states&nbsp;comprising&nbsp;the&nbsp;UK&nbsp;and a number of its former dependencies who have chosen to maintain ties of friendship and practical cooperation and who acknowledge the British monarch as symbolic head of their association.

The Queen grew up in a loving and supportive family with her sister Margaret and her parents the Duke and Duchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth). They led a relatively quiet&nbsp;life until her father’s unexpected accession to the throne in 1936. The Queen remained close to her mother, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, and her sister Princess Margaret following the death of her father in 1952. Both supported Her Majesty through their official duties, and represented her on official visits both at home and overseas. In his&nbsp;tribute to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, following her death in 2002, the Prince of Wales referenced the close relationship enjoyed by his mother and grandmother.

Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip first met when they attended the wedding of Prince Philip's cousin, Princess Marina of Greece, to the Duke of Kent, an uncle of Princess Elizabeth, in 1934.&nbsp;They met again when the King and Queen, together with Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret, visited the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth in 1939. The couple maintained contact throughout the war, when Prince Philip served overseas with the Royal Navy, including in the Far East. Their engagement was announced on 9 July 1947 and the couple were married in Westminster Abbey on 20 November 1947. Britain was still recovering from the war and Princess Elizabeth collected clothing coupons for her dress, like many other young brides. They spent their honeymoon at Broadlands, Hampshire and at Birkhall, Balmoral. Their first child, Prince Charles, was born in 1948 and their second child, Princess Anne, in 1950.

In 1952, King George VI was not really healthy. Princess Elizabeth, accompanied by Prince Philip, took his place. While she was visiting Kenya, the first country of the Commonwealth tour, she received the news of her father's death and her own accession to the throne. That happened on February 6, 1952. In an instant, she ceased to be Princess Elizabeth and became Queen Elizabeth II. Following the news, the tour was abandoned, and the young Princess flew back to Britain as Queen. She was greeted by Prime Minister Winston Churchill and other officials at the airport before returning to Clarence House, where the Royal Standard flag was flown for the first time in her reign.

Unanswered Questions: 20 Years Later, The Mystery of Princess Diana's Death Remains

We will start with a story that has had a question mark over it for more than two decades. The death of Princess Diana. The event that shocked people around the world is still a current topic in many households. Why did the princess die? Was it all staged? Does it have anything to do with the royal family? These are just some of the questions that have been asked. But will there ever be answers to them?

One of the main questions is: Did French doctors hide Diana’s pregnancy?

This is one of the most debated Princess Diana conspiracy theories. Some people just weren’t convinced by the negative pregnancy tests. Plus, it isn’t standard to give dead women pregnancy tests, so the fact that they hadn’t taken a urine sample was nothing unusual.

After 70 years of being on the throne, Queen Elizabeth passed in September 2022, which means that Charles, as her first-born son, will inherit her position. Charles has already taken up her position, but the official coronation hasn't happened yet. It is planned to take place during the first weekend of May 2023. The 3-day ceremony will begin on May 6th. The coronation itself will be happening in Westminster Abbey, as it's been that way for multiple British monarchs, including the Queen. Before the main event, a procession will be held starting at Buckingham Palace, all the way to Westimnster Abbey. When they arrive, the Royals will all go out on the balcony of the Palace, where the spouses will officially be pronounced King and Queen.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING QUEEN ELIZABETH'S REIGN

Coronation: On June 2, 1953, Elizabeth II was crowned in Westminster Abbey. The Queen's coronation ceremony was watched by millions of people around the world, and it was a symbol of the continuity and stability of the British monarchy. Commonwealth: During her reign, Elizabeth II experienced the transformation of the British Empire into the Commonwealth of Nations, in which independent nations that were once part of the empire voluntarily cooperate. The establishment of the modern Commonwealth occurred officially in 1949, when the London Declaration was signed. Suez Crisis: In 1956, Britain, France, and Israel invaded Egypt in an attempt to regain control of the Suez Canal, which had been nationalized by Egypt. The crisis marked the end of Britain's status as a superpower. Cuban Missile Crisis: In 1962, the world stood on the brink of nuclear war as the United States and the USSR were directly confronted during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Welcome to our gossip column, where we bring you all the latest news and scandalous stories from the world of the British royal family. Being in the public eye can have its side effects, and when you belong to the royal family your every move is analyzed, which may land you at the center of untruth rumors and conspiracy theories. It makes sense — the family is fascinating, and with all the drama that's been unfolding, who wouldn't want to know the filthy, behind-the-scenes details about what happens inside those palace walls? Whether it's about&nbsp;Prince William&nbsp;and Kate Middleton's marriage, or whether&nbsp;Meghan Markle&nbsp;was ever&nbsp;really&nbsp;pregnant with Archie, the rumor mill has been working overtime when it comes to those who belong to —&nbsp;and those who have walked away from —&nbsp;the Firm. And let's be real, Prince Andrew's most recent scandal hasn't exactly helped matters!

Origins of the Commonwealth

The origins of the Commonwealth lie in Britain's former colonial empire.&nbsp; Until 1949, the member states of today's Commonwealth were united through common allegiance to the British Crown. After the Second World War, many countries sought their independence. Soon after attaining independence in 1947, India declared that it wished to adopt a republican constitution, but also wanted to remain within the Commonwealth. This was accepted in the London Declaration agreed at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in 1949, provided that India accepted King George VI as "the symbol of the free association of the independent Member Nations and as such Head of the Commonwealth". Over the next two decades, British rule ended in many parts of Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean and the Pacific.&nbsp; With a few exceptions (such as Myanmar, formerly known as Burma), the newly independent countries joined the Commonwealth and recognised King George VI and, following his death, Queen Elizabeth II, as Head of the Commonwealth. King Charles III is now Head of the Commonwealth.&nbsp; The London Declaration made it possible for the Asian and African states of the former Empire, most of which wished to become republics, to remain within the Commonwealth upon attaining independence. This has led to the development of the contemporary Commonwealth.

Prince Charles was known to be a womanizer in his younger years. On of the girls that he met was Sarah Spencer, daughter of John Spencer, but ended up marrying her sister, Diane. The royal wedding ceremony was held in July of 1981. Eleven months later, their first son, William was born. Two years later, in September of 1984, Harry was born.

After some time, some trouble started appearing in the marriage, especially when, in the early 90s, the British news started talking about Charles' romance with Camilla Parker. Some time later, the news started reporting about Diana being in a romantic relationship with her horseback riding instructor. During Diana's trip to Paris, with her at the time lover, Dodi Al-Fayed, she tragically passed away in a car crash. You can read more about this in our gossip column. He ended up remarrying, and married his longterm friend, Camilla Parker Bowles, who is still there to this day.

People's reactions after the tragic death of the beloved Diana

This is a seemingly normal picture. However, it's that famous picture of Prince Andrew and Virginia. Supporters claim that it's a fake and edited picture. In my opinion, this picture doesn't appear edited, but if it were, I too would like someone to edit my pictures. Perhaps I would look prettier or could stand next to a famous person without anyone noticing?

● Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, travelled 40,000 miles (64,000 km) during the year, visiting countries of the Commonwealth and all parts of the UK. ● As in previous celebrations there was a service at St Paul’s Cathedral,&nbsp;as well as street parties, dinners, a special garden party for all those who had been born on Accession Day (6 February 1952) and a Prom and Party at the Palace. On her Golden Jubilee, the Queen and Prince Phillip toured the UK and the Commonwealth and held a concert at Buckingham Palace, followed by a spectacular firework display.&nbsp; ● She&nbsp;travelled to the National Service of Thanksgiving on 4 June in the Gold State Coach. The service was followed by a lunch at London’s Guildhall at which she stated: "Gratitude, respect and pride, these words sum up how I feel about the people of this country and the Commonwealth—and what this Golden Jubilee means to me."

Impacts and contributions to the British society

Modernization: Elizabeth II was instrumental in modernizing the monarchy, making it more accessible to the public and adapting it to changing times. She was the first monarch to make a Christmas broadcast on television, and she was also the first to use a computer to send a message. Charitable work: Queen Elizabeth II has been involved in various charitable causes throughout her reign, including supporting medical research, cultural organizations, and education initiatives. She has also been an advocate for animal welfare and conservation. Diplomacy and international relations: The queen has played a key role in promoting Britain's relationships with other countries. She has visited more than 120 countries and met with numerous heads of state, using her position as a symbol of continuity and stability to help foster good relations. Crisis management: Queen Elizabeth II has demonstrated her strength and leadership during times of crisis, such as the Aberfan disaster in 1966, when a coal waste landslide killed 144 people, mostly children. She visited the town and provided comfort to the grieving families.

Children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren

The Queen went on to have two more sons: Prince Andrew, born in 1960 and Prince Edward, in 1964. They were the first children to be born to a reigning monarch since the time of Queen Victoria. In her later years, her children and grandchildren supported her on State occasions, travelled on overseas tours on her behalf and took on some of her many Patronages. Following the Duke of Edinburgh stepping back from public duties in&nbsp;2019, the Prince of Wales accompanied The Queen to events including the State Opening of Parliament and Commonwealth Heads of Government Meetings. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh had eight grandchildren: Peter and Zara Phillips (b. 1977 and 1981); Prince William of Wales and Prince Henry of Wales (b. 1982 and 1984); Princess Beatrice of York and Princess Eugenie of York (b. 1988 and 1990) and The Lady Louise Windsor and Viscount Severn (b.2003 and 2007). Their 12 great-grandchildren are:&nbsp;Prince George (b. 2013), Princess Charlotte (b, 2015) and Prince Louis (b. 2018), children of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge; Archie Mountbatten-Windsor (b.2019) and Lilibet&nbsp;Mountbatten-Windsor&nbsp;(b. 2021), children of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex; Savannah Phillips (b. 2010) and Isla Phillips (b. 2012), children of Peter and Autumn Phillips; Mia Tindall (b. 2014), Lena Tindall (b. 2018) and Lucas Tindall (b.2021), children of Zara and Mike Tindall;&nbsp;Sienna Mapelli Mozzi&nbsp;(b.2021), daughter of&nbsp;Princess Beatrice of York and&nbsp;Edoardo&nbsp;Mapelli Mozzi&nbsp;and August Brooksbank (b.2021), son of&nbsp;Princess Eugenie of York and Jack Brooksbank.&nbsp;

Charles was crowned as Prince on July 26th 1958 by his mother. The ceremony was held at Caernarfon Castle. He took his seat in the House of Lord the following year and delivered his maiden speech on June 13th 1974. He was the first royal to speak from the floor since Edward VII in 1884. He spoke once again in 1975. He began taking on more public duties, founding the Prince's Trust in 1976 and travelling to the US in 1981. Charles expressed an interest in serving as governor-general of Australia, at the suggestion of Australian prime minister Malcolm Fraser, but due to lack of public enthusiasm, nothing ever came out of the proposal.

In the 70s, he participated in several sessions of the Upper House and even attended a meeting at the Cabinet of Ministers. Charles was the first monarch in over 300 years, who was allowed to participate in work of British ministers. 

Charles served in the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy. During his second year at Cambridge, he received Royal Air Force training where he learned how to fly the Chipmunk aircraft. After he had finished college, he was enrolled in the British Air Force as an airplane and helicopter pilot. He served in that position for several years, until he voluntarily transferred to the fleet, in which he spent another few years of his life.

After coming back to London, Charles started doing some charity work. He is the founder of the Prince's Foundation, as well as fifteen other organizations that operate in the field of environmental preservation and improvement of the urban environment.

● &nbsp;Queen Victoria&nbsp;is the only other British monarch to have reached this historic milestone. ●&nbsp;The focus of the 2012 Diamond Jubilee celebrations took place once again in the summer. Highlights included the Thames Diamond Jubilee River Pagent, a spectacular flotilla of 1000 boats which travelled from Chelsea to Tower Bridge, led by the Royal Barge, on which the Queen travelled.&nbsp; ● Big Jubilee Lunches were held throughout the UK and around the world, attended by an estimated 8.5 million people in the UK alone. On 2 June, the anniversary of the Queen’s&nbsp;coronation, a 62-gun salute was fired at the Tower of London and elsewhere.

GLOBAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE UNITED KINGDOM

Between 1880 and the beginning of the twenty-first century, the United Kingdom became a full political democracy based on universal suffrage, and witnessed major party-political realignments as well as the rise of social rights, identity politics and new non-governmental movements. The UK also experienced civil war (in Ireland, 1919-21 and in Northern Ireland during the ‘Troubles’), total war (in 1914-18 and 1939-45), and the loss of a global empire. Throughout the period there was a vigorous debate on the role of the state and the freedom of the markets in a globalized and deeply unequal economic system. This was accompanied by struggles over what it meant to be a citizen of the United Kingdom and who had the right to belong. The Social Progress Imperative has ranked the UK top in the world for political freedom. Partly based on its global reputation for stability and liberty, Britain punches well above its weight in global politics. It is one of the world’s best-connected countries. It is a member of the G8 and G20, the UN (with a permanent seat on the Security Council), the NATO alliance, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty designated nuclear states, OECD, the Commonwealth of Nations, the Council of Europe, the European Convention on Human Rights, the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe, and was one of the first non-Asian countries to join the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. This gives it strong international influence in the economic, security and defence spheres.

Charles Philip Arthur George, better known as Prince Charles III was born on November 14th 1948 in the Buckingham Palace. Apart from him, his parents, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, had three other children, Andrew, Anne and Edward. He was the eldest of the four children.

Charles III was born a year after his parents got married. At the time, his grandfather George VI was the king of the UK. Three years later, his grandfather died and his mother became the Queen of the UK, which made him the Prince of Wales.

"I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong."

Prince Andrew's Relationship with Jeffrey Epstein: The Scandal That Rocked the Royal Family

Who would have thought that someone from the Royal family would be convicted? Shouldn't they be setting an example? But in the story that follows, it's not the case. Everyone makes mistakes, even the Royal family. Or not??? In March 2011, BBC News reported that the friendship of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, with American financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. She alleged Epstein paid her $15,000 to have sex with the Duke in London. In December 2014, a Florida court alleged that Prince Andrew was one of several prominent figures to have participated in sexual activities with a minor later identified as Virginia Giuffre, who was allegedly trafficked for sex by Epstein. Giuffre (then known by her maiden name Virginia Roberts) established that she had sex with Andrew on three occasions, including a trip to London in 2001 when she was 17, and later in New York and on Little Saint James, U.S. Virgin Islands. Flight logs show the Duke and Giuffre were in the places she alleges the sex happened.

This is the short video from youtube abot platinum jubilee from Elizabeth II.

Prince Charles was educated at London's elite schools - Cheam and Gordonstoun. He later spent six months at the Timbertop campus of Geelong Grammar School in Victoria, Australia.

After high school, Charles attended Trinity College in Cambridge where he studied archaeology and anthropology. During his second year of college, Charles attended University College of Wales to study Welsh history and language, but only for a term. He ended up graduating on June 23rd 1970 from University of Cambridge with a Bachelor's degree in Arts, which he later promoted to Master of Arts.

As it turns out, the Prince liked writing very much and was also good at it, so he wrote a few pieces. He's the author of many books about painting, architecture, gardening and ecology. He also wrote a few scenarios for some unknown documentaries.

Was the royal family involved in her death?

Lady Di predicted a disaster in an interview?!

For years, she knew that she was not welcome in the royal family. Maybe they didn't cause the crash, but they slowly killed her. There are conspiracy theories that claim that the secret service killed Lady Di and her partner Dodi on the orders of the royal family. Dodi's father believes that the royal family could not tolerate the mother of the heir to the British throne having a relationship with a dark-skinned Muslim. Another fact does not favor the royal family.&nbsp;Diana's death allowed Prince Charles to remarry in church.

The Sussex Scandal: Meghan and Harry's Break with the Royals

Now we're turning our attention to the ongoing feud between the British royal family and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Since stepping down from their royal duties and moving to the United States, Meghan and Harry have been at the center of a media storm, with accusations of racism, bullying, and betrayal swirling around them. In early 2020, Meghan and Harry announced that they were stepping down from their roles as senior members of the royal family and would be splitting their time between the UK and North America. Since then, there have been numerous reports of tension between Meghan and Harry and the rest of the royal family, particularly Harry's older brother Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton. Meghan has also faced accusations of bullying and mistreatment of royal staff during her time as a working member of the family. In March 2021, Meghan and Harry gave a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey. The interview caused a media firestorm and led to a rift between Meghan and Harry and the royal family. The couple has since continued to speak out about their experiences in the royal family, while the royal family has largely remained tight-lipped on the matter.

˝The Commonwealth symbolises&nbsp;the transformation of the Crown from an emblem of dominion into a symbol of free and voluntary association. In all history this has no precedent˝

The Queen was born on 21 April 1926 at 17 Bruton Street in Mayfair, London. As the first child of The Duke and Duchess of York - who later became King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, she was christened Elizabeth Alexandra Mary at Buckingham Palace on 29 May that year. Elisabeth stood third in the line of succession to the throne after Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII), and her father, The Duke of York.
