Episode 1194
In this episode, we explore the extraordinary life of Queen Elizabeth II, who served as the longest-reigning monarch in British history. Born in 1926, her path to the throne was unexpected, finalized only after the abdication of her uncle, Edward VIII, changed the line of succession. We trace her journey from a young princess serving in the Auxiliary Territorial Service during World War II to her accession in 1952 at the age of 25,.
Tune in as we discuss:
• A Transforming World: How Elizabeth II reigned as a constitutional monarch through the decolonization of Africa, the United Kingdom’s entry into and exit from the European Communities, and the evolution of the Commonwealth of Nations,.
• Personal Struggles: The challenges she faced during her "annus horribilis" in 1992 and the intense media scrutiny surrounding the royal family, particularly following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales,.
• Enduring Partnership: Her 73-year marriage to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, whom she called her "strength and stay",.
• Historic Milestones: From her Coronation in 1953 to becoming the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee in 2022,.
Join us as we reflect on the woman who pledged her life to service and became a global symbol of stability until her death at Balmoral Castle at the age of 96,.
