Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother
Artist: Alison Watt (British, born 1965)
Date: 1989
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: National Portrait Gallery, London, United Kingdom
Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother
Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon (4 August 1900 – 30 March 2002) was Queen of the United Kingdom and the Dominions of the British Commonwealth from 11 December 1936 to 6 February 1952 as the wife of King George VI. She was also the last Empress of India from 1936 until the British Raj was dissolved on 15 August 1947. After her husband died, she was officially known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, to avoid confusion with her daughter Queen Elizabeth II.
Born into a family of British nobility, Elizabeth came to prominence in 1923 when she married Prince Albert, Duke of York, the second son of King George V and Queen Mary. The couple and their daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret, embodied traditional ideas of family and public service. The Duchess undertook a variety of public engagements and became known for her consistently cheerful countenance.
In 1936, Elizabeth's husband unexpectedly ascended the throne as George VI when his older brother, Edward VIII, abdicated in order to marry American divorcée Wallis Simpson. Elizabeth then became queen consort. She accompanied her husband on diplomatic tours to France and North America before the start of the Second World War. During the war, her seemingly indomitable spirit provided moral support to the British public. After the war, her husband's health deteriorated, and she was widowed at the age of 51. Her elder daughter, aged 25, became the new monarch.
After the death of Queen Mary in 1953, Elizabeth was viewed as the matriarch of the British royal family. In her later years, she was a consistently popular member of the family, even at times when other royals were suffering from low levels of public approval. She continued an active public life until just a few months before her death at the age of 101, seven weeks after the death of her younger daughter, Princess Margaret.

"What you are looking for is in the library" by Michiko Aoyama (translated by Alison Watts)
I enjoyed reading this book. I’ve started getting into reading books from Japan (that have been translated into English, of course) once I got into the “Before the coffee gets cold” series. Different people who are different times in their life and from different walks of life, all end up at the same library and end up finding books they didn’t know they needed (with the help from the librarian…

Spooky headcanon:
Alison is a descendant of The Mother Witch from Hocus Pocus 2.
Why else would there be so much implied with her character in the first movie?
