The Queen of England
by Oscar Mario Rosas Tabera
(Chofu, Tokyo, Japan)
She is beautiful, despite her age
Here she is with the famous agent James Bond, at the London 2012 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony
She even practices parachuting! (just once, but she did)
Also, she cannot escape from the meme culture
Have you ever noticed that, for every UK citizen in the world, The Queen is an untouchable, special, and very important person?
Each time I hear about The Queen, I always hear in my head the intro of the UK's National Anthem. It's a symbol for the UK and all of England. Even if you haven't seen her before, maybe you have heard of her; movies like Johnny English or The Medallion (comedy movies) mention the importance of the Queen for the UK citizenship.
The Queen of England is Queen Elizabeth II, and is very famous around the world: in television when the Olympics started in 2012, or in the news, or maybe just in pictures. She is 87 years old and is very active, even if you think that maybe she is too old.
The next one to the throne is her son, Charles, The Prince of Wales, but many people in the UK want Prince William, The Duke of Cambridge as their next King.
And you? What do you think about The Queen of England?
