watched a documentary before and talked about a near-miss encounter with the Queen at Buckingham Palace. During this process, this half-hundred lady made me admire. And before that, I never saw her as a person, but a portrait on the pound, a statue on a throne, a symbol in political news, the ultimate boss in conspiracy theories... But, in her bedroom In her, facing a mentally deranged tramp with a broken crystal, she shows fear, resourcefulness, composure, bravery, empathy, and feminine tenderness, and after the crisis, she doesn't even punish the man. This made me suddenly understand why the queen is the queen.
So I watched another documentary entirely about her life. To understand a person, look at her growth experience. From childhood to adulthood, she was a very self-disciplined, rigorous and rational person, which made her more suitable for the hard work of a monarch than her emotional uncle and bland loving father. I personally think that this is a kind of luck in the UK. Come to see Edward VIII who does not love the country and beauty, the passionate Princess Margaret, and the indecisive Crown Prince Charles, you will know that not every member of the royal family can bear the weight of its crown. At a young age, she has become an absolute defender and heir to tradition. Even in the most romantic years of her youth, she never made a mistake. Although we don't really know the Queen's private life, it can be seen from the media and various materials that are closely followed that her life has been spent in restraint of personal emotions. It is very difficult to completely control emotions with reason, and maintaining this for a lifetime is something only God can do.
She did it, and even in the huge public relations crisis caused by Diana's sudden death, she still did not show any personal feelings that gave people a handle - perhaps this is why she took her family away from Buckingham Palace to hide away from the clean and unoccupied holiday palace. For this woman who cannot tolerate mistakes, failure to control herself is the greatest disaster. Responsibilities first, personal second. Under her proud and calm appearance, she has always walked on thin ice and cautious, maintaining the dignity, authority and nobility of the British royal family. No matter how out of control the people around her are: her sister's divorce scandal, Charles' three-person marriage, Diana's all kinds of willfulness... She must be as steady as a mountain. Decades of professional training without commuting time have made the Queen a public image that must sacrifice emotions. For the public, waiting to see her go wrong is wishful thinking, and calling her ruthless and meaningless. Is the Queen suffering? In her role as a staunch defender of the royal tradition, all deviance should bring excruciating torture and intolerable anger, but she is powerless to change, even as one of the richest and most powerful people on earth. She can't control the values and lives of others, she can't control the changes of the times, she can't control the mood of the people, the only thing she can control is herself.
From the Queen's point of view, everything is easy to understand. From Diana's point of view, everything is also easy to understand. The Queen's lifeblood was fulfilling her royal duties, and Diana's desire was personal love. Fundamental differences in values keep the two men at odds. However, their common discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was infinitely magnified in the context of royal power and eventually led to the restlessness of the whole country - which no one would have expected. However, from the public's point of view, everything is still easy to understand. "The Crowd" has made the truth clearer. The masses can obey absolute power and challenge absolute power, and the difference between the two is very subtle: it depends on the mood. The mood of the people seems to be stirred by a pair of invisible hands, not only the Queen can't control it, but maybe God can't either. The real reason that the common people are crying for Princess Diana is overwhelmingly because this is the perfect channel for self-emotional and collective emotional catharsis, rather than avenging the people's princess as they say. The royal family is so powerful and the people are so weak, and the people can finally possess the poor innocent and kind Diana, and roar at the royal family without any worries-for a while, the royal family seems so weak and the people seem so powerful, 1 /4 of British citizens want to abolish the constitutional monarchy, the bloody storm of the French Revolution seems to be yesterday! Elizabeth has been in power for decades and has experienced more than a dozen prime ministers. Now she is planted in the hands of a daughter-in-law who couldn't fight her during her lifetime. The Queen expressed grievance rather than panic. Because, with her firm outlook on life and values, she has never done anything wrong, and she has always done her best for her people.
The queen finally made a very difficult compromise, a compromise that was completely unreasonable in terms of reason, but a compromise that she had to make in terms of emotion. The queen's world is a black and white world. She is not a smooth politician, but a guardian who holds the scepter. I understand her world and the world she is facing. For a rational person, the erratic and elusive human nature is the biggest challenge as a ruler. Throughout the history of human beings, people have always lived in madness and chaos. We crossed the bridge by feeling the stones, trying to build one system after another to avoid madness and chaos, and then toppled and restarted under the impact of madness and chaos. . We know that the universe exists in accident and order, so the order of human beings is also accidental. On this planet, nothing built by humans is eternal and indestructible, we are all just passersby.
