The news has gone around the world and shocked much of the UK. Queen Elizabeth II has died and the protocol of transfer of power began. One aspect that has been little portrayed by the media is that Queen Elizabeth was a horse lover queen. Today we will tell you their story.

One of the most interesting things about the reign of Elizabeth II is that it became a modern image. A mixture of tradition with updating to the new times. So it was also with horses for this horse-loving queen. Horses in today’s world mean sport, in the past a great friend and ally. Perhaps that is why the horse represents that connection between the ancient and the modern.

Additionally, Queen Elizabeth II represents a legacy for the cause of equality between men and women. That a Queen has ruled one of the most important countries in the world and has done so well gives a lot to talk about.

Although the role of the queen has a more symbolic connotation, it is precisely this symbolism that is needed in times of claims to the role of women.

Queen Elizabeth II was a queen who gave a lot to talk about. Whether it was her role as a female leader, her passage to modernity or the controversies that always haunted her, she was always in the limelight.

His apparent softness was how he led the country and his family to the best possible position. Although not everyone agrees with their position and their decisions, we can say that the United Kingdom in other hands would have been a chaos.

Let’s know a little more about the transition to modernity promoted by Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, the horse-loving queen.

The Queen of England from popular to pop culture.

No doubt the reign of Elizabeth II, the horse-loving queen has been no stranger to the media. From her radio addresses to the broadcast of her coronation on television, Queen Elizabeth II of England has taken advantage of the media to strengthen the monarchical institution.

However, strengthening his reign has also meant weakening his potential successors. A competition was perceived between his sister and the figure of the queen in popularity at the time.

Her distant and serious figure put her away from the village, but at the same time they maintained the mystery and tradition of the institution. Is it possible to renew the monarchical institution without becoming a parody of populist governments? This is what we will analyze below.

The institution vs the popularity

The UK’s constitutional monarchy has not focused on increasing its popularity. While he has not stopped looking for ways to connect with his people and keep the institution in place, popularity has not been his goal.

This is because the popularity of rulers comes and goes. Turning a king into a very popular figure can also take its toll on the next ruler. Likewise, popularity requires a lot of closeness, which would remove the halo of mystery and tradition that the institution requires.

We may want our rulers to be more like us, but we must believe that they are better than us to let us rule.

This is how a ruler must be the sum of the virtues and in turn obtain a high concept of his people, without necessarily falling sympathetic. Of sympathy, the necessary one so as not to hate him when hard decisions come.

The British monarchy is characterized by being a symbolic element of stability. This brings tranquility and continuity in the midst of the vicissitudes of fate and political and economic changes. But its political neutrality is fundamental because it provides a balanced point of view for political forces.

In this way the way to connect with the people is not by becoming part of them but by winning their admiration. His media presence, his example of family, his example of virtues connects him not from equality, but from admiration.

Despite this, the monarchy was affected by the scandals that surrounded it. However, Queen Elizabeth II’s role has been to become the institution, beyond her own family. Thus, the queen has ruled in solitude, removing from the public eye the most controversial members of the family.

A barbie for Queen Elizabeth II, the horse-loving queen.

One of the most interesting gestures that brought ordinary people closer to the Queen was the design of a Barbie doll of Queen Elizabeth II. On the commemoration of the platinum jubilee of the reign of Elizabeth II, which means that she celebrated 70 years at the head of the throne.

At 96 years old, Queen Elizabeth II was immortalized with a special edition barbie. The doll is named after “Barbie Signature Queen Elizabeth”. The barbie model was a success.

In virtual stores it sold out in a matter of hours and in physical stores little longer lasted. The interesting thing is that with its launch a few months ago and the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the value of the doll has skyrocketed.

The doll based on Queen Elizabeth II of England cost at launch $ 75 with a limited circulation is being quoted for amounts over $ 1300. Its only 20,000 copies made it a coveted piece for collectors of Mattel dolls.

Undoubtedly a gesture that triggered the popularity of the queen among her lovers and her detractors even. Many collectors, despite not being lovers of the queen, have chosen to acquire it out or in the second-hand market, generating a great demand. But the passing of Queen Elizabeth II made it even more coveted.

Undoubtedly, it is gestures like these that elevate the monarchical institution while bringing it closer to its people.

Modernity and Queen Elizabeth II

Queen Elizabeth II has marked a before and after in the English monarchy. This is because he has been one of the best valued monarchs and in turn one of the longest-lived.

Not for this reason has it stopped adapting to changes and modernity.

His coronation, a mystical event, was broadcast on television. Although part of the event was censored, this decision brought his people closer to the monarchical institution.

On the other hand, a barbie doll was even made in honor of the queen.

In recent times, he ended up accepting the relationship between Prince Charles and Camilla Parker. Carlos lost Diana and Camila also lost her husband, whom she had divorced.

Perhaps it was a long time and all the scandals around this relationship have stained the institution. But it was certainly a smart decision because he finally gave in to the human part that the monarchy has.

Camilla can be a moderating influence on Charles’ character and surely the Queen understood it. So much so that in his wishes he left the idea that Camilla would not only be the Wife of the King but that she would reign by his side as an equal.

In this way, Queen Elizabeth II sealed the role of women in the monarchical institution. This was the way to mitigate the tensions that had occurred in their marriage due to the rigidity of the institution. A change that posthumously and as a real decision opened the door to Carlos and Camila in the best way.

But let’s know below a little more about the controversies that surrounded her.

The controversies of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, the horse lover queen.

His reign was fraught with controversy, thanks to the complexity of political relations in the upper echelons. Likewise, despite her carrying an important legacy on herself, not all the family understood and respected such a legacy.

In that mixture of modernity, its history and that of the modern crown was portrayed in the series “The Crown”. This series uncovered so many plots, gossip, and documented the Queen’s difficult role in bringing the monarchical institution to the modern world.

Additionally, the unfortunate physical disappearance of Lady Di, hit the image of that institution. Recent scandals have also taken care of it.

The truth is that the institution of the monarchy has achieved the objective of providing a sense of continuity and stability. Thanks to this, it continues to exist. What will happen to King Charles III? It remains to be seen.

However, one aspect of the queen that we will discuss in depth in this article will be her love for horses.

If Queen Elizabeth II had not been queen, she would have been a great horse owner and perhaps a professional rider. We’ll never know. But today we will tell you two stories… What Queen Elizabeth II died of and the story of the horse-loving queen. And we will also tell you a little about what was the life of Queen Elizabeth II, a queen who did not want to be but who fate put her in that place.

Without further ado, let’s move on.

Short biography of Queen Elizabeth II, the horse lover

Born Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor, she was the daughter of King George V and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. She was not destined to become Queen, but due to numerous events of chance, she became the successor to the throne.

This was due to the abdication of his uncle, King Edward VIII, Edward Albert Windsor. Elizabeth’s uncle fell in love with a divorced American woman. The Anglican church, headed by the King of the United Kingdom, does not admit marriage to a divorced person until his previous partner dies.

These events provoked a constitutional crisis which led to the abdication of Edward VIII and came to the throne to Elizabeth’s father.

His father, until that time Albert Frederick Arthur George, immediately became George VI of the United Kingdom. Elizabeth, at only 10 years of age, became the successor to the crown.

However, there were times when the possibility of his uncle having an heir put the royal succession at risk. However, this did not happen.

But the strongest was yet to come after his father passed away prematurely. This put the responsibility of the crown prematurely on his head at only 27 years old. A change for a crown accustomed to experience. Beyond that, Elizabeth’s personality was instrumental in her being well regarded for the position.

Her relatives and the politicians who had the pleasure of meeting her indicated that she reflected authority and responsibility, first and foremost.

What Queen Elizabeth II, the horse lover queen, died of

Given that photos appeared on social networks two days before her death, it is estimated that the death of Elizabeth II was due to something unexpected. Some rumors indicate that probably a fall could have caused his death.
