Ever dreamed of becoming a Queen? ever fantasized about living a hectic, famous and lavish life as Queen? Well, I did looking at this passionate, lovely, kind, hardworking and persuasive lady, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll. She has inspired me in such a way that I have started to believe, no matter what the circumstances be, your passion for your work keeps you on going. Well, the Netflix original 'The CROWN' which revolves around Queen's life is just gold and classy. I literally finished 2 seasons in 1 month itself.

Who is Queen Elizabeth II?

Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain is the longest-reigning monarch in British history. She celebrated 65 years on the throne in February 2017 with her Sapphire Jubilee.

Queen Elizabeth II was born Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary on April 21, 1926, in London, to Prince Albert, Duke of York (later known asKing George VI), andElizabeth Bowes-Lyon. She marriedPhilip Mountbatten, Duke of Edinburgh, in 1947, became queen on February 6, 1952, and was crowned on June 2, 1953. She is the mother ofPrince Charles, heir to the throne, as well as the grandmother of princesWilliamandHarry. As the longest-serving monarch in British history, she has tried to make her reign more modern and sensitive to a changing public while maintaining traditions associated with the crown.

Her personality is very absolute. The ever-smiling Her Majesty is a strong woman who is built by various challenges, tragedies, and her infamous Royal family. Besides all this, she still unremittingly serves her country and keeps duties her top priority. She has several chapters of her personality, that count and make the book of her life.

Family:
Whenit comes to her family, the Queen never lacks in keeping in mind-perfection.Yes, she wants her family to never fall off the boundary lines of the 'Royal' title.

And then how perfectly she manages to give her time out of the busy schedule to her family, as a wife, mother and Grandmother. The family is everything for her, it's her strength and weakness at the same time. Her expressions may not depict that affection but internally she has it.

And, the family should be the top priority. The family has made you what you are today. The family will be there with you when no one else would be. So whatever the Queen does, her family is her top priority.

Her Humor:
Some may guess The Queen's nature through her expressions, but it's more to it. Queen is not only the Queen of England but of humour too! She's got some sass. One such example is of US president, Donald Trump:

“Why do they always go round and round when you want to talk?” she said of the aircraft. “Sounds like President Trump, or President Obama,” referencing the presidential helicopter Marine One. However, while Trump frequently flies in Marine One.

This was a joke which the Queen cracked while an interview in her personal gardens, where helicopters were flying overhead and annoying her. How busy the Queen must be, but that doesn't stop her from being cool.

Her commitment:
As we all know the Queen is focused and determined towards her work and duties. She makes a perfect blend of responsibilities and authorities. It's been 61 years since The Queen ascended the throne after her father, King George the VI's death. But that's not quite correct. Its more than 61 years, even before her father's death she looked after many engagements on behalf of him. Since then she's determined towards her duty to serve the country.

I am wholly inspired by this. Despite so many obstacles and difficulties, one should dodge and not get off the mark the track on which he is walking.

Her Enthusiasm:
After 61 years if we look back to Queen's 1st year as queen, we could hardly find any difference between her enthusiasm. She still works with the same stamina, same determination and same hope.

So there are a lot of characteristics Queen Elizabeth depicts, which we all can try to adopt. Responsibilities and duties are in the life of every person.
