Elizabeth is acknowledged as a charismatic performer and a dogged survivor in an era when government was ramshackle and limited, and when monarchs in neighbouring countries faced internal problems that jeopardised their thrones.
Elizabethi tunnustatakse karismaatilise esineja ning kangekaelse ellujääjana ajal, mil valitsus oli kokku varisemas ning naabermaade monarhid seisid silmitsi sisepoliitiliste probleemidega, mis seadsid ohtu nende troonid.
