A wonderful start to the decade for Queen Elizabeth II, would see her honour her mother for achieving a very special milestone. She would also travel the world with her husband, Prince Philip, to celebrate 50 years on the throne. But the decade started, with a telegram.
As much as there had been celebrations to enjoy, for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in the 1980’s, with lavish weddings and new additions to the family, the 1990’s was to prove, personally, her most challenging yet. The decade would bring break-ups and divorces, along with a devastating fire and a tragic death. However, she would also find a great friend in the unlikeliest of circumstances. We begin, with a trip to South Africa.
The 1980’s began with a historic meeting of the head of the Church of England and the head of the Roman Catholic Church. It would bring two Royal weddings, more grandchildren for the Queen, including the birth of a future king, and end with the highest honour the Queen can bestow upon an American President. However, we begin the ‘Eighties’ in the Vatican City.
The 1970’s saw “Decimal Day” in Britain bring about new currency, there was a Royal Wedding, and a Silver Wedding Anniversary. The Queen danced with a President, and by the end of the decade, Britain had its first female Prime Minister. For Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, it began in Australia.
The 1960’s started with President John F. Kennedy stating that by the end of the decade we would put a man on the moon, and it ended with that promise fulfilled. It was the decade of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Martin Luther King Jr. famously stating “I Have a Dream”. In Britain, Queen Elizabeth II was about to welcome a new member to the family.
