Dedicated & determined THE QUEEN'S LEGACY IS IN SAFE HANDS

She was Monarch for so long that when the Queen died a year ago, many people struggled to imagine what life would be like without Her Majesty on the throne.

Her son, now King Charles III, stepped into the role that has been his destiny since he was born, and the transition from one sovereign to the next has been relatively seamless.

But while we now have a new Monarch who is determined to do things his way, the legacy of Elizabeth II lives on. Epitomising “keep calm and carry on”, she adapted to massive changes during her incredible 70 year reign with great dignity, setting an example for future generations of British royalty to follow.

The world was a very different place when Elizabeth came to the throne in 1952. Men went out to work while women, on the whole, looked after the home and family; only a small minority of people had access to higher education; and in the UK, although it had been half a century since the death of Queen Victoria, strict Victorian moral codes were still often responsible for the way people lived their lives. For example, abortion and homosexuality were illegal, and Britain still had the death penalty.
