Elizabeth I was queen of England from 1558 until she died in 1603. Her reign was called the Elizabethan Age, a very exciting and glorious period in English history, in which England became an important world power.
She was born near London in 1533. Her father was Henry VIII and her mother Anne Boleyn, the second of the king"s six wives. When Elizabeth was 3 years old her mother was beheaded because she was accused of having a relationship with someone else. Elizabeth had an elder half sister Mary, and a younger half brother Edward.
King Henry VIII broke with the Roman Catholic Church because the pope would not let him divorce his first wife. Henry then founded the Church of England and made his country protestant.
Although Henry cared very little about Elizabeth during her childhood she received a good education and was taught well in history and philosophy. She learned many languages, including French, Italian and Latin.
When Henry died in 1547 his only son, Edward, became king but the boy king died six years later. Mary became queen and made England a Catholic country again. She didn"t like Elizabeth and thought that she was plotting against her. She sent her half sister to prison in the Tower of London for two months. When she was released, she had to live in the countryside.
Mary died in 1558 and Elizabeth succeeded her. She became very popular and many people thought that she would bring back peace and stability in a time of conflict. Elizabeth was a cautious and clever queen; she knew a lot about economics and had good advisors. She returned England to Protestantism but she was not a radical religious reformer.
Although there were many young men who wanted to marry her, Elizabeth stayed alone and had no children. This was a threat to the English monarchy because without children her cousin Mary, Queen of Scots, would inherit the throne. She was a Catholic and a friend of France. Elizabeth was aware of this danger and had Mary sent to prison for many years. She was executed in 1587.
Elizabeth gave her country a lot of self confidence. During her reign it built up its sea power and ships sailed across the seas to trade in the New World. At that time Spain controlled much of the trade in the New World. Elizabeth sent Sir Francis Drake and other sea captains to raid Spanish ships and seize gold and other treasures that the Spanish had captured.
This was too much for Philip II of Spain so he decided to attack England. After years of preparation he put together a strong fleet of ships called the Spanish Armada. In 1588 the Armada sailed into the English Channel. In the battle that lasted for nine days the British defeated the Spaniards because their ships were smaller and faster. Only a few of them managed to get back to Spain. Elizabeth had celebrated the greatest victory of her reign.
The last years of Elizabeth"s reign were troubled by scandals and revolts. Parliament started to criticize the queen and health problems made her weaker. She died on March 24, 1603 at the age of 69. At her wish, Mary Stuart"s son, James VI of Scotland became king of England and the two countries were united.
A short, elderly lady wearing a buttoned coat, to the knee, in a strong single colour — perhaps maroon or turquoise, or yellow, or green, and a matching hat, moving along a line of people who have turned out to see her — it’s the way the Queen of Britain looks during various public events — a small, brightly-coloured, well-presented, formally-dressed lady.
Quite a number of Brits consider having to play the role of the queen to be a very difficult job which prevents you from having a normal lifestyle. By the way, the majority of people in Britain think the Queen is doing her job of representing Britain around the world excellently and very professionally. In her country she does charity work and participates in various events of symbolic importance. The Queen started the tradition of the «walkabout» when she walks among the public crowds and stops to talk to some people.
As a princess, Elizabeth II tried to lead as «normal» life as possible in her situation. She was allowed to play with other girls and she never showed she was superior to them. She even bought shoes for one of her girlfriends who was very poor. Princess Elizabeth enjoyed acting, too. With her younger sister Margaret and the children of members of the staff of the Royal Household she staged pantomime at Windsor at Christmas.
During the Second World War she joined the Armed Forces, the first female monarch to do so, and helped drive and repair military trucks. Just imagine: the Queen driving or repairing a military truck!
Now one more question to you. Is it easy for a queen to marry for love? Why? Elizabeth II was lucky to have found a man whom she truly loved and worshiped, for her he was the one. His name was Philip Mountbatten, now Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. They say in his youth he was rather a reckless man — he used to drive his car too fast and Elizabeth even got in a car accident with him once. His clothes weren’t very tidy and Liz’s family complained that he didn’t have polished shoes and an elegant suit and behaved himself in an unduly familiar manner, sometimes he was just rude. But he also was a handsome young man and Elizabeth loved him anyway, she loved him as he was. Her parents were not too happy to have Philip as a son-in-law, but they didn’t want their daughter to be unhappy, so the marriage took place in 1947, when the would-be queen was twenty-one.
Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, this is the full name of the Queen, became queen at the age of 26 when her father, King George VI, died while on an official tour of Kenia in 1952.
The Queen is thought to have a very courageous personality. Carolly Erickson, the biographer of Queen Elizabeth II, in her book «Lilibet: An intimate Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II» describes a very telling episode which occurred during Windsor Royal Horse racing show in May, 1978. The Queen, beautifully dressed, wearing high-heeled shoes, was watching the horses with thousands of other people. Suddenly an unexpected thing happened. One of the carriages turned down and the horse went galloping very fast, dragging the carriage behind itself. No one could utter a word, people didn’t know what to do. All of a sudden the Queen rushed to the galloping horses and caught the bridle reins trying to balance on her high-heeled shoes. Then prince Philip came to help and together they managed to stop the enraged horses. The crowd roared and apploaded, but the Queen looked calm and reserved as usual.

МОУ Юрцовская средняя общеобразовательная школа Егорьевский район Московская область Учитель английского языка Климонова Ольга Борисовна Queen Elizabeth II
Queen Elizabeth’s full name is Elizabeth Alexandra Mary. As a child she called herself “ Lilibet ’, a name that members of her family still use.
The Queen’s surname is Windsor. The British royal family changed their last name – Saxe-Coburg-Gotha during the First World War because it sounded too ‘German’. Anti-German feeling in the county was so strong that King George V dropped all his German titles and changed the family name to Windsor – after his castle of the same name.
Until she was 10 years old Elizabeth didn’t know that one day she would be queen. It was only when her uncle, King Edward VIII, abdicated in 1936 that her father became King George VI and Elizabeth became heiress to the throne.
Elizabeth was educated at home with Princess Margaret, her younger sister. She studied French, history, art and music, learned to ride and swim.
Just before World War II in 1939, Elizabeth met a young sailor at a Royal Naval College. He was Prince Philip of Greece. They married in Westminster Abbey when she was 21 and now have 4 children (Prince Charles, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and Princess Anne) and 8 grandchildren (including Prince William and Prince Harry).
The Queen has 2 birthdays – her real one, on the 26 th of April, and an official one, on the second Saturday of June each year.
Being Queen is a real busy job. Elizabeth II gets up early (she wakes to the sound of her personal bagpiper) and begins the day by looking through the newspapers and reading letters from the public. Later in the morning she usually sees important visitors. After lunch, she often goes out on a public visit – she gets thousands of invitations each year. She opens new hospitals, bridges and factories. Once a week, the Queen meets the Prime Minister. They discuss government business and important things that are happening in the country.
The British royal family goes back more than a thousand years. Queen Elizabeth II is Britain’s 40 th monarch.
Elizabeth II is a ‘constitutional monarch’. This means that the country is actually run by the government, led by the Prime Minister. So she isn’t a political force. She is a symbol of Britain’s long history and traditions.
In the 60 years of her reign, the country has had 12 prime ministers. She became Queen so long ago, David Cameron hadn’t even been born!
In the past 60 years, Elizabeth II has been on 261 official visits to 116 different countries.
The Queen in the only person in Great Britain who doesn’t have a passport! She is also the only person in the country who can drive without a licence or number plate on her state car.
The Queen’s hobby is photography. She also enjoys horse racing, fishing and walking in the countryside.
Elizabeth’s favourite dogs are corgis. She has owned more than 30 corgis during her reign. She has also introduced a new breed of dog known as the dorgi (dachshund + corgi).
Queen Elizabeth joined Facebook in November 2010, with a page called the British Monarchy. She joined Twitter in 2009, and now teams at Buckingham Palace tweet daily updates.
The Queen has many hats, because she always wears one when she is out on royal visits. She has worn more than 5,000 different hats over the past 60 years.
She speaks French very well and often uses the language during her state visits. She doesn’t need an interpreter.
The Queen has been given lots of unusual presents during her reign, including animals: jaguars and sloths from Brazil, black beavers from Canada and an elephant called Jumbo from Cameroon. They were given good homes at London Zoo.
