All people make mistakes in life. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was no exception. After 96 years, she could not forgive herself for her mistakes. And trust me, they were enough.



GettyImages We were wondering what mistakes were fatal in the life of the Queen of Great Britain. And today's edition. "Site" He'll tell you about them.

Perhaps only Elizabeth II could live life so that everyone thought that she had an impeccable reputation. In fact, even the Queen made mistakes for which she was ashamed. Some of them she could never forgive herself. Some were unacceptable to other people.

For example, at the dawn of her reign, Elizabeth II behaved very coldly and detached. She always followed the royal protocol. And they demanded the same from other people, especially their subordinates and family. She kept an eye on every word she said, because what she said was so powerful.



GettyImages It's hard to say if that was a mistake at all. The Queen's position in society obligated her to do so. However, over the years, Elizabeth II began to melt. She wanted to get closer to the people. And she was helped by a 1957 Christmas speech recorded at her home.

The last time her great-grandfather did this was in 1932. Then the tradition faded into oblivion, but the Queen managed to revive it. Since then, every year the whole UK with a sinking heart waited for the performance of Elizabeth II on the eve of her favorite family holiday.



GettyImages The British royal family has always been in the eyes of journalists. The whole world is watching how English aristocrats live. But interest in this needs to be warmed up from time to time. In the 60s, fans died down. Therefore, the press Secretary of Elizabeth II decided to urgently correct this situation.

It was decided to shoot a documentary about the Windsor dynasty. The movie “The Royal Family” made a splash. It was watched by at least 45 million people. Soon, however, Elizabeth II forbade people to show this picture.



In her opinion, too many skeletons in the closet were shown there. In addition, this documentary allowed members of the royal family to become a target for paparazzi and the main object of gossip. The film was archived. And to see it, you had to ask permission from the Queen.

It is no secret how well guarded Buckingham Palace. A mosquito won't blow your nose, that's how captured it is. However, even in such a place, confusion can occur. The catalyst for one was the Queen herself.

One night Elizabeth had insomnia. She went out for a walk on the grounds of the palace, but forgot to warn the guard. The guards heard strange sounds at dawn and reacted immediately. They were ready to shoot an uninvited guest. But fortunately, one of the guards recognized the Queen's silhouette.



After that incident, Elizabeth never forgot to warn security about her night adventures. This mistake could have cost her life.

Another fatal mistake the Queen made was to allow the suspension of her trusted adviser, Sir Christopher Geidt's personal secretary. The man had an impeccable reputation. He was so close to the royal family that he could tell them what others feared.



GettyImages, however, left his post. As usual, the case involved other royals, namely Prince Charles, who repeatedly complained to his mother about her adviser. To avoid scandals, Elizabeth II agreed to dismiss her right-hand man. I've regretted it more than once.

However, the royal family has always supported the Queen’s decision. This time, no one objected to her. But the unpleasant residue in Geidt's soul after this situation still remained. He served in his post for 15 years.

As you can see, Her Majesty Elizabeth II was not a saint. We all make mistakes in life. The main thing is to admit your mistake and try to correct the situation if possible. Agreed?
