PLEASE HELP MEEEEE

10 POINTS FOR BEST ANSWER :D:D:D

Answer 1

None!!

Answer 2

Unelected though she may be, and representing an outdated elitist system, (and anti-monarchist though I am,) I admire The Queen for her lifetime devotion to her job.

She has shown a conscientiousness that is an example to many of those who snipe at her, and mock her.

But I believe that when she dies, an election should be held, so that the British people can vote...do we want a Monarchy or not.

Answer 3

Your question is awkwardly worded  (How did they achieve their goals-who's they?). Elizabeth II was home tutored and lived a private,sheltered life as a child.She was the heir presumptive to the monarchy after her father ascended the throne.

Here is a short biography about her early life from http://www.royal.gov/uk

"The Queen was born at 2.40am on 21 April 1926 at 17 Bruton Street in Mayfair, London.

She was the first child of The Duke and Duchess of York, who later became King George VI and Queen Elizabeth.

At the time she stood third in line of succession to the throne after Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII), and her father, The Duke of York. But it was not expected that her father would become King, or that she would become Queen.  

The Princess was christened Elizabeth Alexandra Mary in the private chapel at Buckingham Palace. She was named after her mother, while her two middle names are those of her paternal great-grandmother, Queen Alexandra, and paternal grandmother, Queen Mary.



The Princess's early years were spent at 145 Piccadilly, the London house taken by her parents shortly after her birth, and at White Lodge in Richmond Park.

She also spent time at the country homes of her paternal grandparents, King George V and Queen Mary, and her mother's parents, the Earl and Countess of Strathmore.



In 1930, Princess Elizabeth gained a sister, with the birth of Princess Margaret Rose. The family of four was very close.

When she was six years old, her parents took over Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park as their own country home. In the grounds of Royal Lodge Princess Elizabeth had her own small house, Y Bwthyn Bach (the Little Cottage), which was given to her by the people of Wales in 1932.

Princess Elizabeth's quiet family life came to an end in 1936, when her grandfather, King George V, died. His eldest son came to the throne as King Edward VIII, but, before the end of the year, King Edward VIII had decided to give up the throne in order to marry the woman he loved, Mrs Wallis Simpson.

Upon his abdication, Princess Elizabeth's father acceded to the throne as King George VI, and in 1937 the two Princesses attended their parents' coronation in Westminster Abbey.

Princess Elizabeth was now first in line to the throne, and a figure of even more intense public interest.

Princess Elizabeth was educated at home with Princess Margaret, her younger sister.

After her father succeeded to the throne in 1936 and she became heir presumptive, she started to study constitutional history and law as preparation for her future role.

She received tuition from her father, as well as sessions with Henry Marten, the Vice-Provost of Eton. She was also instructed in religion by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Princess Elizabeth also learned French from a number of French and Belgian governesses. It is a skill which has stood The Queen in good stead, as she often has cause to use it when speaking to ambassadors and heads of state from French-speaking countries, and when visiting French-speaking areas of Canada.

Princess Elizabeth also studied art and music, learned to ride, and became a strong swimmer. She won the Children's Challenge Shield at London's Bath Club when she was thirteen.

Princess Elizabeth enrolled as a Girl Guide when she was eleven, and later became a Sea Ranger.

In 1940, at the height of the Blitz, the young Princesses were moved for their safety to Windsor Castle, where they spent most of the war years.

It was a time of austerity and anxiety for the whole country, including the Royal Family. But at Christmas time there was a period of light relief when the young Princesses put on pantomimes with the children of members of staff for the enjoyment of her family and employees of the Royal Household.

As the Princess grew older, she began to take part in public life with her parents.

She made her first public speech in October 1940, when she was 14. In a live broadcast, she sent a message during the BBC's children's programme to all the children of Britain and the Commonwealth, particularly to those children who were being evacuated for safety reasons.

In early 1942 Princess Elizabeth was appointed Colonel-in-Chief of the Grenadier Guards, and on her sixteenth birthday she carried out her first public engagement, when she inspected the regiment.

In April 1943, Princess Elizabeth carried out her first solo public engagement, when she spent a day with a Grenadier Guards tank battalion in Southern Command.

From that time onwards, her official duties increased. She was particularly involved with organisations connected with young people. She was President of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital for Children in Hackney and the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.

From March 1944 onwards, she also began to accompany the King and Queen on many of their tours within Britain.



Shortly after her eighteenth birthday in 1944, Princess Elizabeth was appointed a Counsellor of State during the King's absence on a tour of the Italian battlefields and, for the first time, carried out some of the duties of Head of State.

In August that year, with Queen Elizabeth, the Princess received an address from the House of Commons, and replied on behalf of the Throne.

In September 1944, the Princess carried out her first official tour of Scotland with her parents, including her first opening ceremony in October, when she opened the recently reconstructed Aberdeen Sailors' Home.

The Princess's first flight by air was in July 1945, when she accompanied the King and Queen on a two-day visit to Northern Ireland.

In early 1945 the Princess was made a Subaltern in the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS). By the end of the war she had reached the rank of Junior Commander, having completed her course at No. 1 Mechanical Training Centre of the ATS and passed out as a fully qualified driver.



At the end of the war, the Princess appeared with her parents, sister and Winston Churchill on the balcony of Buckingham Palace greeting celebrating crowds on VE Day. The two princesses also famously slipped into the crowd that day, mingling with other young people.

After the end of the war, Princess Elizabeth's public engagements continued to grow, and she travelled extensively to attend public functions throughout the British Isles.

These included the launching of a new aircraft carrier in Belfast and a tour of Ulster in March 1946, and attending the National Eisteddfod of Wales in August 1946.



Her first official overseas visit took place in 1947, when she accompanied her parents and sister on a tour of South Africa.

During this tour she celebrated her twenty-first birthday, and gave a broadcast address dedicating herself to the service of the Commonwealth - a dedication she repeated five years later on her accession to the throne.

In November 1947, Princess Elizabeth was created a Lady of the Garter at a private investiture by the King.In a broadcast on her 21st birthday, Princess Elizabeth made a vow dedicating herself to service of the Commonwealth:



' I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.' "

Answer 4

Queen Elizabeth had her life determined for her from the time her father became King after his brother abdicated. So she did not have goals like other kids in the sense of "what I want to be when I grow up" - -she knew her life woud be dedicated to serving her country and eventually she would be queen.  She began to study history and law and other subjects that might help her later. She did not go to school but was tutored at home by teachers and her father.

As a teenager in World War Two, Princess Elizabeth had gone on visits with her parents to boost morale and she had reviewed troops, but she saw that many other girls and young women were joining the military and doing more hands-on work in the defence of their country. She wanted to do this too. I believe she had quite an argument with her father, but she finally convinced him that she should serve, and joined the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service as  Subaltern Elizabeth Windsor. She went to training and served as a truck driver and a mechanic.  She was the only female member of the British royal family to serve in the military.
