The Queen has made it clear that she does not want any commotion, said one of her closest associates then to the Daily Mail.
On Thursday it is 90 years since a little girl, a princess, was born at 17 Bruton Street in London’s Mayfair. Nor birthday is expected to be celebrated scale of the protagonist himself.

No one believed that the newborn princess, who was number three in succession, would one day take over the throne. Her father, George, would not really be king – his older brother Edward was the one who would take over. But when he abdicated, under very startling forms, instead became Elizabeth future Queen.
When the father died of cancer, she was taking over the throne, much earlier than expected, only 25 years old.
During his many decades on the throne, queen Elizabeth has harvested 12 prime ministers and experienced successes and setbacks.
One of the most difficult private periods marked by crisis years before and after Princess Diana’s death. After the tragic death crash in Paris appeared the Queen as callous when the country was struggling with grief and their queen shut himself at the residence in Scotland and refused to speak. Flower sea grew outside the gates at Buckingham Palace at the same rate as the anger among the people.

People’s confidence in the queen and the British royals were then low, but later improved again.
A new study, carried out by Ipsos on behalf of King’s College in London, shows the queen’s position in the UK is now strong. The support for the monarch is higher than it was twenty years ago. 75 percent of people believe that the monarchy has an important role in the UK’s future and that most Britons would like to see the queen remains on the throne as long as possible. Only one in five surveyed hope that she will retire, compared with about half in 1981.
“On the question of the monarchy would survive another 50 years responded to the majority of people when they did not believe it. It has completely changed now “
– The Queen is hugely popular. For the next 20 years ago when it all went wrong for the royal family, especially after Diana’s death, and a few years after that, showed most of the indicators that were shaky. Monarchy opponent was confident that support for them was growing, says Professor Roger Mortimore at the Institute of Contemporary British History at King’s College Newsweek continues:
– On the question of the monarchy would survive another 50 years accounted the majority of people when they did not believe it. It has completely changed now. The Queen and the royal family has done well to turn public opinion. Most people in the UK feel that the monarchy is part of their national identity, says Mortimore to Newsweek.
