Royal Secrets of Queen Elizabeth’s Reign

As one of the longest reigning monarchs in British history, Queen Elizabeth has experienced many ups and downs during her reign. But despite the countless public appearances, speeches, and other obligations that come with being Queen, she’s also been privy to some of the royal family’s best kept secrets. In this blog, we’ll uncover some of the stories that even the most well-versed royal enthusiast may not have heard before.

From her ascension to the throne in 1952, to her Diamond Jubilee in 2012, Queen Elizabeth has encountered a lot during her six decades as Queen. For example, not many know that Queen Elizabeth kept her Coronation celebrations secret from her children Prince Charles and Princess Anne until just weeks before. This was done to prevent them from spoiling the surprise when the announcement came.

Queen Elizabeth also used a surprising strategy to boost Britain’s economy. Her interest in investing in the financial markets gave her an edge and helped her bring back billions to the Royal coffers. While some investments are kept tightly under wraps, it is thought that she may have had a role in the incredible rise of some major financial companies over the years.

Of course, as one of the longest reigning monarchs, Queen Elizabeth also has some not-so-savory secrets. While no one could call her scandalous, there are still some matters that she’s been less forthcoming about. This includes a not-so-friendly rivalry between the Queen and Princess Diana. Although the Queen eventually came around to accept the Princess into the family, the animosity lingered for a time.

We’ll also be looking into some of the Queen’s relationships with some of her closest family members and other heads of state, as well as some of the rumored disagreements that have gone on behind the scenes. Who knew the Queen had so many interesting stories to tell?
