The late Queen – Elizabeth 2nd – is remembered now as being England’s longest reigning monarch. She isn’t the last and Queen Camilla has stepped into her shoes admirably.
Yet she leaves behind a legacy greater as much as it was longer.
Her reign is now marked with many calamities of natural and human making. In fact the great storm of ’87 went down in our history as a blip in our overall calendar.
It went down in hers as a sort of life lesson. She took from it a lesson about what she went through as a reigning Queen and as a leader of a nation.
She never thought of herself as a leader alone but as one among many. It was such a work ethic that helped her to get her work done. It’s this she left behind as her legacy.
