Significant events included Elizabeth's coronation in 1953 and the celebrations of her Silver, Golden, Diamond, and Platinum jubilees in 1977, 2002, 2012, and 2022, respectively. Although she faced occasional republican sentiment and media criticism of her family—particularly after the breakdowns of her children's marriages, her annus horribilis in 1992, and the death in 1997 of her former daughter-in-law Diana—support for the monarchy in the United Kingdom remained consistently high throughout her lifetime, as did her personal popularity. Elizabeth died aged 96 at Balmoral Castle in September 2022, and was succeeded by her eldest son, CharlesIII.Delacourt, Susan (25 May 2012), "When the Queen is your boss", Toronto Star, archived from the original on 7 March 2013 , retrieved 27 May 2012 Briggs, Asa (1995), The History of Broadcasting in the United Kingdom, vol.4, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-1921-2967-8 In 1939, Elizabeth's parents toured Canada and the United States. As in 1927, when they had toured Australia and New Zealand, Elizabeth remained in Britain since her father thought she was too young to undertake public tours.

About this bundle
In the 1950s, as a young woman at the start of her reign, Elizabeth was depicted as a glamorous "fairytale Queen". [296] After the trauma of the Second World War, it was a time of hope, a period of progress and achievement heralding a "new Elizabethan age". [297] Lord Altrincham's accusation in 1957 that her speeches sounded like those of a " priggish schoolgirl" was an extremely rare criticism. [298] In the late 1960s, attempts to portray a more modern image of the monarchy were made in the television documentary Royal Family and by televising Prince Charles's investiture as Prince of Wales. [299] Elizabeth also instituted other new practices; her first royal walkabout, meeting ordinary members of the public, took place during a tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1970. [300] Her wardrobe developed a recognisable, signature style driven more by function than fashion. [301] In public, she took to wearing mostly solid-colour overcoats and decorative hats, allowing her to be seen easily in a crowd. [302] By the end of her reign, nearly one third of Britons had seen or met Elizabeth in person.
