A Day in the Life of The Queen: How Queen Elizabeth II Spends Her Day

Queen Elizabeth II is a stickler for order, and so routine is a part of Her Majesty’s day-to-day life. She rises at around 8.30 am and would be greeted by a piper who plays at 9am on the terrace beneath her apartment at Buckingham Palace. When longtime attendant and confidante Margaret MacDonald was still in service, Don Coolican noted that  Bobo, as The Queen affectionately called MacDonald, would awaken her, “bringing in a cup of tea and a plate of biscuits handed over by the footman.” The Queen’s corgis are the first creatures to grace The Queen , who would also beg to be given biscuits, Coolican writes.

“She usually takes a bath before having breakfast in her apartment alone, and it is usually Cornflakes or Special K cereal and fresh or dried fruit,” observes Victoria Howard. The Queen never forgets to read the morning paper. When it was still in printing circulation, she would turn to The Sporting Life first, the horseracing Bible. After breakfast, Her Majesty immediately proceeds to her study desk, which is described as “stuffed with family photographs, mementos, paper knives, paste-pot and scribble pads.”   Nearby is a bowl of water for her pet corgis who are always within Her Majesty’s sight.

Queen Elizabeth II works until lunch at 1 pm, reading as much as 120 letters delivered to her in a white wicker basket. These letters usually contains everyday human concerns—a mother with a husband in prison and on the brink of desperation or an adoring child eager to receive an autographed photograph of Her Majesty’s. Every letter, except from those cranks, would get a reply.

There is an enormous amount of paperwork The Queen has to deal and they come from all the parts of the world, not only from Great Britain, but also from other Commonwealth countries, like Canada, Australia,  and New Zealand, where the Queen also reigns. Even when she is on an official trip abroad, she has to deal with these documents, which are usually fitted in between appointments. She does this in the morning, but she also returns to paper works after an engagement. She spends a lot of time at this which takes her even into the night sometimes, according to Coolican. The Queen likes to be briefed with the affairs of the state. While her ceremonial duties prevent her from altering any decision passed by the Government or the Parliament, she wants to be sure that she knows exactly what she’s putting her name into.

If Her Majesty does not have any official engagement at midday, she enjoys a light meal with Prince Philip or one of her children or grandchildren. She resumes her work afterwards, only to stop at five for tea  and then returns to reading and signing official documents again. The Queen’s work day typically ends before dinner, which is served at 8:15 pm. When Prince Philip is at home, they would chat about their respective day’s work. There would be nights when The Queen is out for evening engagements, but if not, she delights herself on a comedy show, documentaries or environmental programs on TV. Usually by 10:30 PM, Her Majesty retires to bed—calling it a day.

  9. FINALLY FREE FROM HERPES VIRUS
    I thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because life became meaningless to me because I had Herpes virus, the symptoms became very severe and bold and made my family run from and abandoned me so they won't get infected. I gave up everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because the doctor told me there's no cure. I consumed so many drugs but they never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me making it worse. I was doing some research online someday when I Came across testimonies of some people of how DR Ebhota cure them from Herpes, I never believed at first and thought it was a joke but later decided to contact him on the details provided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent me his herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after two weeks. Within 7 days of medication the symptoms disappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I was NEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you Dr Ebhota because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep on telling the world about you. If you are going through the same situation worry no more and contact DR Ebhota viadrebhotasolution@gmail. com or WhatsApp him via +2348089535482.he also special on curing 1. HIV/AIDS2. HERPES 3.

  10. After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don’t believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there.

  13. I was married for 16 years to a loving wife and mother. We had 2 children together who are now 11 & 13. I reconnected with an old girlfriend from college on Facebook and we began an affair and I left my wife. The woman I had an affair with is a wonderful woman and I love her too and our kids had begun accepting the situation and my wife has kind of moved on, but not in love with the man she is seeing. I thought I fell out of love with my wife and I felt terrible about what I did to her - she is a good woman and I don't know what came over me. I decided to try and get her back and I was recommended to Lord Zakuza for help to get reunited with my wife and within 48 hours after I made contact with Lord Zakuza my wife decided to work things out with me and now we are back together with our children living as one happy family. I really don't know the words to use in appreciation of what Lord Zakuza did for me but I will say thank you sir for reuniting I and my family back. For those in trying times with their marriages or relationship can WhatsApp Lord Zakuza for help or text with this number +1 (740) 573-9483 or you can send him an email to Lordzakuza7@gmail.com
