Text One
Racing is often described as “The Sport of Kings”, and it can most certainly be added of Queens too. The Queen has a deep affection for horses going back to her childhood. When she watches a race, she forgets the pressure of her official duties. The Queen gets excited, shouts and cheers her favourite up like all the other racegoers.
Text Two
The Queen is supposed to be the most travelling monarch of the world. During the 60 years of her reign she made 261 official visits to different countries. Her Majesty has visited Australia 16 times, Canada 22 times, Jamaica 6 times and New Zealand 10 times. Sometimes when the Queen is on foreign tours, she gets unusual gifts. For example, in the Seychelles she was given two tortoises, and the President of Cameroon gave her a seven-year-old elephant called “Jumbo”.
Text Three
Members of the Royal Family have different interests. Everyone knows about the Queen’s interest in horse-racing, dogs and photography. Her husband, Duke of Edinburgh, takes a lot of interest in wildlife and saving rare animals from extinction. Charles Prince of Wales, loves art and knows a lot about modern architecture and painting. Prince Edward loves theatre. This interest began while he was at university. Young Prince Harry is a fine sportsman. He is known to be good at playing games, especially polo.
Text Four
She discovered she was heir to the throne when she was nearly eleven years old. She immediately promised, “I will be good.” The Queen did not grow to five feet tall. Funny enough this “shortest” British monarch ruled “longest” of any of them. The Queen fell in love with her cousin Albert at first sight. She wrote: “Albert is really quite charming, and so excessively handsome, such beautiful blue eyes, an exquisite nose, and such a pretty mouth with delicate moustaches and very slight whickers; a beautiful figure, broad in the shoulders, a fine waist.” Soon after, they got married.
Text Five
In 2002 Her Majesty’s Golden Jubilee was celebrated. During the celebrations huge crowds showed that they felt gratitude, respect and pride for their Queen. They wanted to show that they cared about that very special lady. The Golden Jubilee didn’t start well. Princess Margaret, the Queen’s sister, died in February and seven weeks later the Queen mother died at the age of 101. But as the months went by, the Queen and Prince Philip began their round the world tour starting with visits to Jamaica, New Zealand and Australia.
Text Six
Princess Elizabeth’s father died in his sleep on the 6th of February 1952. At that time Princess Elizabeth was 3,000 miles away from home. She was in Kenya in South Africa. At the sad moment she was in a giant fig tree filming African animals. As one person wrote at the time, “A young girl climbed into a tree a Princess and climbed down a Queen.”
