Summary
This article is about the Diamond Jubilee
of Queen Elisabeth. Her sixtieth anniversary is something the Britons take
pride in. This jubilee is not the first to be held in Great-Britain. Queen Victoria reigned for 64
years.
Also in other countries there have been jubilees
of the same kind. In 2006 the King of Thailand marked his sixtieth
anniversary and in 1986 the Japanese Emperor Hirohito celebrated 60 years on
what is termed the Chrysanthemum Throne.
Queen Victoria had the grandest pageant of them
all. She believed she was the grandest lady ever and the public felt the same
according to Victoria.
Although during the festivities the general mood was fine not everyone shared
her opinion.
Now this year Queen Elisabeth reigns over Britain for the
sixth decade. During her reign she has seen her monarchy and nation downsize. Britain is no
longer an empire. Queen Elisabeth is looking forward to another ten years of
reigning over Britain
and to have her Platinum Jubilee.
Opinion
My opinion about the Queen’s reign is that
I believe she should step down. Although in the article is said that the Briton
have a senses of relieve to them that Queen Elisabeth still reigns. She reigned
for sixty years now and I believe one should step aside and let a younger
person take over. That is why I believe that Beatrix should step down too. Why
don’t they?? Does QE believe Prince Charles is not the man to take the job…Maybe
not! I don’t see why he should become king. I like to see Prince William as a
king and reign over Britain.
He comes across more as an adult than his father Britain’s court fool. Should QE
wait until William is settled enough with Kate? But when is it enough? In my
heart I believe QE will never step down and just like her father die reigning
over Britain.
I hope Charles has grown up by than or is senile and therefore not fit to
become the next king and therefore William has to be Britain’s next king. Hopefully he
and Kate have had three or more children and had some time to cherish their
time “alone” so they can be the new king and queen of Britain.
