The Wisdom of Queen Elizabeth on the Bright Day of Her Birth

“How old is Queen Elizabeth?” people wonder when they learn that this amazing woman is celebrating another significant date on April 21. And although now there will be no talk of any holiday, due to the recent death of Prince Philip, the fact remains that Elizabeth II turns 95 years old.

This is the first anniversary that the Queen of Great Britain celebrates without a beloved spouse. Of course, on her life path there was always enough sadness, suffering and trials. We believe that the latest sad events will not break it.



GettyImages Today editorial office "Site" He wants to recall some powerful and somewhat self-ironic quotes from this wise woman. After all, 95 years is a solid path, passing which, you have to understand a lot. 70 years as Queen is an incredible experience.

When you live so long, you learn the main thing - self-irony. Don't overestimate your personality. Even the Queen affirms, Let us not take ourselves too seriously. None of us has a monopoly on wisdom.” If even the reigning queen says so, how can we argue with her?



GettyImages Age does not equal wisdom: Some cultures believe that a long life bestows wisdom. I'd like to think it's true" - a bit more self-irony from the Queen. And yet, age does not guarantee that some mythical wisdom will descend on you.



Queen Elizabeth said in one of her speeches: The world is not the most pleasant of places. Eventually, your parents will leave you and no one will protect you just because you are you. We must learn to stand up for our own principles.” The Queen urges us to be strong, resilient and never give up. Life is a mess, but its severity depends on how well you know how to take a hit.



GettyImages Children - one of the wonders of the world The Queen has raised four children. She has many grandchildren and even great-grandchildren. She knows firsthand what children are like. “Children are terribly wayward: they are only born when they are absolutely ready to enter our world.” I think children can safely be called the most wonderful creatures in the world.



The Queen's descendants live in a completely different world than she once did. Sometimes their actions go against the rules of the royal family. The Queen seems to have learned to put up with that. As in all normal families, in our impulsive and ardent youth rebel against the values of the older generation. Is it really different in any family? That's how we move forward.



GettyImages On feelings Nothing human monarchs are alien. The Queen was married to Prince Philip for 70 years. Sadness is the price we pay for love. You can't argue. This is life, but no one gives up love.



GettyImages Whatever you say, this woman is absolutely gorgeous. A wise grandmother, a reigning queen, commander-in-chief of the whole country and the royal family. If we choose whose advice to heed, we choose Her Majesty Elizabeth II.

We hope that the support of the family and loved ones on this special day for the Queen will give her strength to cope with all the trials that have fallen on her recently.
