The late Queen wasn’t known as an activist and so she was more keenly aware of the times than others. While many were trying to get law changes, she was quietly working away at the things she loved to do to take care of the country she lived in. These past-times were also professional contributions to the State itself, and enrich our cultural archives in more ways than we presently realise.
Her attention to the detail of people’s lives is well-known in charity circles, but it’s her meticulous and masterful documentation of our culture and times that supports the recognition of her acute abilities. She waited on issues with a studious mind, and made sure that all of her conclusions were of the highest benefit to others. This is the true work of a Queen.
It took its form in photography, diary writing, and recording facts on the basis of her own commissioned research. This was all private, as it should be for a royal figure. It illustrated her times in a far better and far more superior way than others were attempting, and her endeavouring to do it made her a much more superior intellect than others that just wrote about it all.
Her goal, however, had been to improve the archives of the nation and so it was that a large amount of material was amassed to be bequeathed to a more sensitive type of storage for our future. This is not on the same level of her worth as a public figure, but it improves our prospects as a Union in the sense of proving and improving our times.
