Summary:
This article is about the coronation of queen Elisabeth the second. The
people who have always presented at the Coronation are religious figures, the
most senior clergymen from the Church of England. The next coronation will be
with different figures as well (for example women), because a lot has changed
since the last coronation in 1953. Sixty years ago Queen Elisabeth ll took her
oath. She thinks only death can release her from her duty as queen. That is why
Prince Charles is still a prince. Since a lot has changed since the coronation
in 1953, the coronation of the next king or queen will look quite different. It will probably be
more modern.
Opinion:
I have to say that I have more respect for Queen Elisabeth ll now that I
have read this article. Before, I always thought that she was a stubborn woman
who wouldn’t want to descent the throne to let her son ‘rule’. Now I know that
she thinks being queen is her duty and only death can release her from that. I
think that is well thought-out. Still, I think it is sad for Prince Charles. He
will be very old or might be dead when he finally can be king. Moreover it is
sad for the queen as well, because she has never enjoyed the life of a
pensioner.
