Rest in peace Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, Princess of York 🥀

HM QUEEN ELIZABETH II

21 April 1926 - 8 September 2022

"We may hold different points of view but it is in times of stress and difficulty that we most need to remember that we have much more in common than there is dividing us." (on difficult tines, 1974)

"There are many serious and threatening problems in this country and in the world but they will never be solved until there is peace in our homes and love in our hearts." (on peace, 1986)

"Everyone is our neighbour, no matter what race, creed or colour." (on togetherness, 2004)

“In remembering the appalling suffering of war on both sides [Germany and UK], we recognize how precious is the peace we have built in Europe since 1945.” (on the Second World War, 2004)

"It is a source of great pride to me that the leading role my husband played in encouraging people to protect our fragile planet, lives on through the work of our eldest son Charles and his eldest son William. I could not be more proud of them." (on the Climate Change and her family, 2021)

... thank you Lilibet! 🇬🇧

當我離開這樹枝並飄落到地上時，我會向樹揮手並告訴她，「我很快就會再見到你」。

As I leave this branch and float to the ground, I will wave to the tree and tell her, "I will see you again very soon".

Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in young days in Duckverse - Tribute to her (1926-2022)

Please, this is not a parody, but a tribute to the Royal Majesty of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland plus the British Commonwealth. Queen Elizabeth II when she was young woman and ascended the throne, but in Duckverse way. Sorry about this, but I haven't mastered portraits in human form yet, but I hope to learn. I thank you for your understanding.

Elizabeth Alexandra Mary as Elizabeth II born in 21 April 1926 in Royal Family called Windsor from father George VI and mother Margaret, Countess of Snowdon. She helped a lot as a driver during the Second World War and after the war she married in 1947 with Prince Philip, who is of Danish-Greek origin and became the Prince of Edinburgh. She became queen after her father's death and was crowned on June 2, 1953. She has four children with Philip, whose names are Charles, Anna, Andrew and Edward. She ruled Great Britain, Northern Ireland, as well as the British Commonwealth (Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries), and during her rule many former British colonies became independent. She experienced many changes while she ruled through various failures and successes of the United Kingdom and changed as many as 15 Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom and more than 170 Prime Ministers from the countries of the British Commonwealth.

Until now, she ruled for 70 years and managed to experience the Platinum Jubilee. She is on of the longest reingning monarchs of all time, as well as having reigned the longest of any English monarch in history. She visited almost all countries of the world, including communist countries, such as China and the former Yugoslavia. Howerer, although she contributed to the preservation of the British Kingdom, the British Empire saw its end. Also, unfortunately, numerous affairs took place at her court, starting with Charles' breakup with Princess Diana, Prince Andrew's affair, and the problems of her grandsons William and especially Harry. Not the mention the conspiracy theories surronding her and her court, but that's another story.

All in all, she preserved the reputation of her country and lived to a ripe old age. Her husband died in 2021, while she died on 8 September 2022 and was burried in Westminster Abbey in her father's chapel on 19 September.

After her, her son Charles will succeed as Charles III.

My opinion about her is irrelevant for now, but I certainly pay attention to her and let everyone who lives in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Commonwealth countries like Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries receive my condolences.

Yes, I drew her in duck anthropomorphic form, that is, in Duckverse, because I'm not sure what kind of animal she would be in Donald's universe, whether an eagle, an owl, a lioness or some other species, so I decided on a duck. Sorry about this. Yes, drew a redraw of her from her younger days.

Rest in peace to the soul of the queen and eternal glory to her and thank you for everything and may God forgive your sins, your majesty! Amen.
