Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in young days in Duckverse - Tribute to her (1926-2022)

Please, this is not a parody, but a tribute to the Royal Majesty of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland plus the British Commonwealth. Queen Elizabeth II when she was young woman and ascended the throne, but in Duckverse way. Sorry about this, but I haven't mastered portraits in human form yet, but I hope to learn. I thank you for your understanding.

Elizabeth Alexandra Mary as Elizabeth II born in 21 April 1926 in Royal Family called Windsor from father George VI and mother Margaret, Countess of Snowdon. She helped a lot as a driver during the Second World War and after the war she married in 1947 with Prince Philip, who is of Danish-Greek origin and became the Prince of Edinburgh. She became queen after her father's death and was crowned on June 2, 1953. She has four children with Philip, whose names are Charles, Anna, Andrew and Edward. She ruled Great Britain, Northern Ireland, as well as the British Commonwealth (Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries), and during her rule many former British colonies became independent. She experienced many changes while she ruled through various failures and successes of the United Kingdom and changed as many as 15 Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom and more than 170 Prime Ministers from the countries of the British Commonwealth.

Until now, she ruled for 70 years and managed to experience the Platinum Jubilee. She is on of the longest reingning monarchs of all time, as well as having reigned the longest of any English monarch in history. She visited almost all countries of the world, including communist countries, such as China and the former Yugoslavia. Howerer, although she contributed to the preservation of the British Kingdom, the British Empire saw its end. Also, unfortunately, numerous affairs took place at her court, starting with Charles' breakup with Princess Diana, Prince Andrew's affair, and the problems of her grandsons William and especially Harry. Not the mention the conspiracy theories surronding her and her court, but that's another story.

All in all, she preserved the reputation of her country and lived to a ripe old age. Her husband died in 2021, while she died on 8 September 2022 and was burried in Westminster Abbey in her father's chapel on 19 September.

After her, her son Charles will succeed as Charles III.

My opinion about her is irrelevant for now, but I certainly pay attention to her and let everyone who lives in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Commonwealth countries like Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries receive my condolences.

Yes, I drew her in duck anthropomorphic form, that is, in Duckverse, because I'm not sure what kind of animal she would be in Donald's universe, whether an eagle, an owl, a lioness or some other species, so I decided on a duck. Sorry about this. Yes, drew a redraw of her from her younger days.

Song about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6ZvylOSy5A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-MVosjKkr4

Rest in peace to the soul of the queen and eternal glory to her and thank you for everything and may God forgive your sins, your majesty! Amen.

Την προηγούμενη Τετάρτη συμπληρώθηκαν 20 χρόνια από τον θάνατο της ABY Πριγκίπισσας Σοφίας της Ελλάδας, Δανίας, Εσσης - Κάσελ και Αννόβερου στις 24–11–2001

Η πριγκίπισσα Σοφία της Ελλάδας και της Δανίας γεννήθηκε στις 26 Ιουνίου 1914 στο Μον Ρεπό, το Ελληνικό Βασιλικό Κτήμα στην Κέρκυρα, το οποίο αφέθηκε στον πατέρα της Πρίγκιπα Ανδρέα.

(ένας από τους τέσσερις γιους του Βασιλιά Γεωργίου Α' της Ελλάδας και της Μεγάλης Δούκισσας Όλγας Κωνσταντίνοβνα της Ρωσίας) στη διαθήκη του Βασιλιά Γεωργίου Α'.

(1ο Κολάζ )

Η Πριγκίπισσα Σοφία ηταν η μικρότερη κόρη του πρίγκιπα Ανδρέα της Ελλάδας και της πριγκίπισσας Αλίκης του Battenberg, ήταν αδερφή της πριγκίπισσας Μαργαρίτας (αργότερα πριγκίπισσας του Hohenlohe-Langenburg), της πριγκίπισσας Κεκιλιας (αργότερα Μεγάλης Δούκισσας της Έσσης), της Πριγκίπισσας Θεοδώρας (αργότερα Margravine of Baden). και ο πρίγκιπας Φίλιππος (ο δούκας του Εδιμβούργου).

(2ο,3ο,4ο Κολάζ)

Στα ξαδέρφια της περιλαμβάνονται ο Βασιλιάς Γεώργιος, ο Βασιλιάς Αλέξανδρος και ο Βασιλιάς Παύλος της Ελλάδας, η Βασίλισσα Ελένη της Ρουμανίας, η Πριγκίπισσα Ειρήνη, η Δούκισσα της Αόστα, η Πριγκίπισσα Μαρίνα, η Δούκισσα του Κεντ, η Πριγκίπισσα Ολγα της Γιουγκοσλαβίας, η Πριγκίπισσα Ευγενία της Ελλάδας, ο Πρίγκιπας Μιχαήλ της Ελλάδας, η Βασίλισσα Αλεξάνδρα της Γιουγκοσλαβίας, η βασίλισσα Σοφία της Ισπανίας, ο βασιλιάς Κωνσταντίνος Β' της Ελλάδας και ο βασιλιάς Μιχαήλ της Ρουμανίας.

Περνώντας το μεγαλύτερο μέρος της πρώιμης ζωής της στην Ελλάδα, η οικογένεια αναγκάστηκε να ��ύγει κατά τη διάρκεια των συχνών εξοριών της ελληνικής βασιλικής οικογένειας τη δεκαετία του 1920, ζώντας στο Παρίσι έως ότου παντρεύτηκε τον πρίγκιπα Χριστόφορο της Έσσης- Κασέλ και έγινε η πρώτη από τις αδερφές της που παντρεύτηκε στην νεαρή ηλικία 16 ετών. Το ζευγάρι είχε πέντε παιδιά και παρέμεινε ευτυχισμένο παντρεμένο μέχρι το θάνατό του σε αεροπορικό δυστύχημα το 1943, ενώ υπηρετούσε τους Ναζί στον Β' Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο.

( 5ο Κολάζ)

Το 1946, η πριγκίπισσα Σοφία παντρεύτηκε τον πρίγκιπα Γεώργιο Γουιλιελμο του Ανόβερου, (αδελφος της Βασιλισσας Φριδερικης των Ελλήνων )

(6ο Κολάζ)

ανακαλύπτοντας ότι τα κοσμήματα της οικογένειας της Έσσης είχαν κλαπεί κατά την διάρκεια της παραμονής των Αμερικανικών δυνάμεων μετά την ήττα του Χιτλερ στο κάστρο της Βασιλικης Οικογένειας της Εσσης

Το ζευγάρι είχε τρία παιδιά και ήταν ευτυχισμένοι μέχρι το θάνατό της. Ως κουνιάδα της Βασίλισσας Ελισάβετ Β' και της Βασίλισσας Φρειδερίκης της Ελλάδος, η Πριγκίπισσα Σοφία παρακολούθησε μια πληθώρα βασιλικών εκδηλώσεων καθ' όλη τη διάρκεια της ζωής της, εμφανιζόμενη συχνά σε εκδηλώσεις της Ελληνικής Βασιλικής και στο Royal Windsor Horse Show, και ήταν νονά του Πρίγκιπα Εδουάρδου κόμη του Γουέσεξ. Ήταν η τελευταία από τις αδερφές του Δούκα του Εδιμβούργου που πέθανε.

(7ο 8ο Κολάζ )

Η πριγκίπισσα πέρασε τους τελευταίους μήνες της ζωής της σε ένα γηροκομείο στο Schliersee, όπου πέθανε και στις 24 Νοεμβρίου 2001 αφήνοντας έτσι πισω τον δεύτερο σύζυγό της, επτά παιδιά, δεκατέσσερα εγγόνια και δεκατέσσερα δισέγγονα.

Η κηδεία της τελέστηκε στο Κάστρο Wolfsgarten παρουσία πολλών μελών της αριστοκρατίας και τα λείψανά της θάφτηκαν στο νεκροταφείο της εκκλησίας του St Martin στο Schliersee, όπου τελικά ενώθηκε με τον δεύτερο σύζυγό της, το 2006.

[princessanneftw]

Isn't princess Anne, Prince Haakon's godmother? Do you know anything about her godchildren?

She is indeed! As well as Haakon, she has a few godchildren.

Philipp, Hereditary Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg. He’s Philip’s grandnephew, so he and Anne would also be second cousins? I think?

Alice McVittie. I think her parents were friends of hers.

Prince Peter of Yugoslavia.

Lucy Margot Therese Cameron.

Lady Eloise Anne Elizabeth Anson. She is Lord and Lady Lichfield’s youngest daughter, and Anne is very good friends with them. Leonora has also been a lady-in-waiting to her since 1979.

Amy-Samantha Andrews. She’s Anthony and Georgina Andrews’ daughter, who Anne has been friends with for years. Yes this is the one the press said she was having an affair with while cutting his wife out of pictures of the three of them.

Kelly Louise Doreen Knatchbull. Lord Mountbatten’s great granddaughter, making her and Anne distant cousins aswell.

Harry Wallace. Son of her lady-in-waiting and another old friend, Caroline Wallace.
