Unit 2: The Crown at a Crossroads (2nd_gr2)

 An Iconic Figure

The document under study is the back cover of a book entitled “The Queen”, a biography of Queen Elisabeth II written by the American author Andres Morton, published in 2022 after the death of the Queen.

We have learned that as a young queen, she was modest, honest and shy. Moreover, she liked riding horses, she loved dogs. She wanted to have a quite life in the countryside. On top of that, she was strong and courageous as she had to face a lot of challenges. She was also resolute, self-disciplined and dedicated to her people.

The very first challenge she had to face/confront as a young queen was that she had to assume the role of queen in spite of her shyness. Besides, she had to deal with family matters: her husband’s rumors of infidelity, the divorce of her sister, Diana’s tragic death and Prince Harry’s departure. Above all, her duty was to keep the monarchy alive.
