Queen Elizabeth II in her own words

Guardian News published this video item, entitled “Queen Elizabeth II in her own words” – below is their description.

Queen Elizabeth has passed away at the age of 96. Ascending to the throne at the age of just 25 in 1952, she would go on to become the longest-reigning monarch in British history. Elizabeth’s reign spanned a period of major political change for the UK including decolonisation, the Troubles, and Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union. She also endured familial upheaval with the breakdown of her children’s marriages, the death of Diana, princess of Wales, and Harry and Meghan’s decision to step back from their role as senior royals. This is her life, in her own words
