It soon became apparent to Her Late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth 2, that her reign was not going to be stable. It didn’t mean her rule, but her time. It made sense to learn what she needed to be safe.
Eventually, in time these duties were passed on, but she took them on herself. She made herself feel safe, and she kept herself safe. They were important priorities for her because of her duties.
She learned how to fight, and how to surveil. These were a few things a young woman wanted to do anyway, she once said, but they were techniques she found useful in times to come.
She never considered herself athletic, but she was known as a quick mover, and had the reactionary timing of a fox. She loved to be alone, but it meant ensuring she could protect herself.
This wasn’t due to behaviour of servants, but the presumption of those who were also important, but presumed too much. They would sometimes approach her unannounced, and were not safe.
It’s a fact that opinions matter, but a practicality of when they should matter. This wasn’t taken into account, and she also came under a lot of attack privately, and personally, due to it.
