This weekend is the 86th anniversary of when King Edward VIII signed his Instrument of Abdication so he could marry Wallis Simpson after being told by the Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin that she would never be accepted by the people of England as Queen given that she was a twice divorced American woman thus making him His Royal Highness the Duke of Windsor and her the Duchess of Windsor despite the fact his brother the now King George VI refused to grant her the title Her Royal Highness. With her death on September 8th, Queen Elizabeth II was the last person alive who had any memory of that historical event which changed her life forever as a 10 year girl because she went from being Princess Elizabeth of York to being Princess Elizabeth, heiress presumptive and first in line to the throne upon the accession of her father to the throne. In hindsight, we should thank Wallis Simpson for Edward’s abdication because Elizabeth probably would have never gone on to have her 70 year long reign if he hadn’t abdicated. #ukroyals #britishroyalfamily #wallissimpson #wallissimpsonduchessofwindsor #kingedwardviii #edwardviii #edwardviiidukeofwindsor #dukeandduchessofwindsor #kinggeorgevi #abdicationofkingedwardviii #georgevi #princesselizabethofyork #dukeofyork #elizabethii #queenelizabethii #elizabethalexandramary #elizabethalexandramarywindsor https://www.instagram.com/p/CmBTVBuuqAi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is such a wonderful picture of Her Majesty the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip with Barack and Michelle Obama during their 8 years as President and First Lady. What makes this such a wonderful and iconic picture is that Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II would die years after this picture was taken. These couples gave the world such amazing pictures as they were ambassadors to their countries-the United Kingdom and the United States of America. #royalfamily #britishroyalfamily #ripqueenelizabeth #ripqueenelizabethii #queenelizabethii #elizabethalexandramary #elizabethalexandramarywindsor #princephilip #princephilipdukeofedinburgh #barackobama #michelleobama https://www.instagram.com/p/CiYBbCXuq3P/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is such a wonderful picture of Her Majesty the late Queen Elizabeth II with the Clintons during their 8 years in office as the First Family of the United States. Queen Elizabeth II had a wonderful reign and relationship with the Clintons which was reflected in the statement Bill Clinton released after it was announced that she had died. #royalfamily #britishroyalfamily #ripqueenelizabeth #ripqueenelizabethii #elizabethalexandramary #elizabethalexandramarywindsor #billclinton #hilaryclinton #chelseaclinton https://www.instagram.com/p/CiX4M75uKDK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"The crown is a heavy burden. To bear it, you must have the right person at your side." That is exactly what Prince Philip was to Queen Elizabeth II during their marriage as well as her extraordinary historic reign. She knew he was the choice as he was her strength. #princephilipdukeofedinburgh #princephilip #philipmountbatten #philipmountbattenwindsor #elizabethalexandramarywindsor #queenelizabeth #queenelizabethii #elizabethii #ukroyalfamily #britishroyalfamily https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj50twYOzwn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is such a wonderful picture of Her Majesty the late Queen Elizabeth II with President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden even though I know they had interacted with each other while they were the Vice President and Second Lady while Barack and Michelle Obama were in the White House as POTUS (President of the United States) and FLOTUS (First Lady of the United States). #ukroyalfamily #britishroyalfamily #ripqueenelizabeth #ripqueenelizabethii #queenelizabethii #elizabethalexandramary #elizabethalexandramarywindsor #joebiden #jillbiden https://www.instagram.com/p/CiYESg-u-hJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is such a wonderful picture of Her Majesty the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip with President George W Bush as it showed a complete sense of unity between the two countries. Queen Elizabeth II was such a wonderful ambassador for the United Kingdom during her 70 year reign especially in this scene with Bush 43. #ripqueenelizabeth #ripqueenelizabethii #queenelizabethii #elizabethalexandramary #elizabethalexandramarywindsor #princephilip #princephilipdukeofedinburgh #georgewbush #royalfamily #britishroyalfamily https://www.instagram.com/p/CiX4Qhvu_o4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is such a wonderful picture of Her Majesty the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip with James Earl “Jimmy” Carter Junior and his dear wife Rosalynn Carter as part of a show of unity between the United Kingdom and the United States of America. Both Her Majesty the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were wonderful ambassadors for their country the United Kingdom just like Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter were for mine the United States of America when they were in office back in the 1970s. #royalfamily #britishroyalfamily #ripqueenelizabeth #ripqueenelizabethii #queenelizabethii #elizabethalexandramary #elizabethalexandramarywindsor #princephilip #princephilipdukeofedinburgh #jamesearlcarterjr #jamesearlcarter #rosaylnncarter #jimmycarter https://www.instagram.com/p/CiXvUzturgf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is such a wonderful yet sad side by side picture of a very young Queen Elizabeth II at the funeral of her father King George VI and King Charles III today at her funeral knowing that their lives had forever changed with Elizabeth having automatically assumed the throne upon the death of her beloved Papa given that no one ever expected the two of them to assume the throne as well as Charles too even though he was only 3 years old when his life changed as he became first in line to the throne. The main difference is that Elizabeth was just 25 when she became Queen and had a young family while Charles was older plus had years of experience from watching her for 70 years. No one else will ever accomplish what she did during her lifetime. #ripqueenelizabethii #ripqueenelizabeth #ukroyalfamily #britishroyalfamily #kinggeorgevi #kingcharles #kingcharlesiii #elizabethalexandramary #elizabethalexandramarywindsor https://www.instagram.com/p/Citx9kFOewu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This picture of Her Majesty the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip with Ronald and Nancy Reagan is definitely an iconic one as it was taken when the Reagans hosted them at their Western White House during the 8 years they were in office as the President and First Lady of the United States of America. #royalfamily #britishroyalfamily #ripqueenelizabeth #ripqueenelizabethii #elizabethalexandramary #elizabethalexandramarywindsor #princephilip #princephilipdukeofedinburgh #ronaldreagan #nancyreagan https://www.instagram.com/p/CiXy2RZuYyl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
