From the NY Times: "Her personal behavior, unlike that of most of her family, was beyond reproach, never tainted by even the remotest hint of scandal. Elizabeth offered her subjects a mirror of the high moral standards that many might aspire to but most generally fail to attain."

I'm not saying she was a bad person, just that this praise is obviously ridiculously over-wrought. You simply can't reign as Queen of England for 70 years "without even the remotest hint of scandal"

Just last year there was the Guardian investigation that suggested she was trying to hide the true extent of her wealth: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/feb/07/revealed-que... (I've seen other sources disputing it, but one can't argue that this is at least a hint of scandal)


At the same time though, her face is printed on the money. There's wealth and then there's levels far beyond and transcending wealth...The Guardian just loves to stir division, panic, resentment, and chaos – it's all the modern Marxist can do.
