Wilson, who is also an Oxford don, I believe was the first to treat her equally and to make it plain that he wasn't looking down on her. However, Wilson's government is having a lot of issues.

The workers revolted against Wilson and demanded that he nationalize the coal and steel sectors and call a strike since the industry is still suffering from the war's effects and exports are low because commerce with the former colonies has broken down.

With the queen's approval, Harold Wilson's audiences with the monarch became longer and longer, and he began to remain for drinks afterward, which had never happened before. Alcohol was previously forbidden during audiences, but now brandy and jinn are being offered.

Harold Wilson enjoys the country life exactly like his queen, who customarily spends her summer vacations up in Scotland. The prime minister vacations with his family in Cornwall during the summer, enjoying golf and picnics.

Harold Wilson observed that the queen herself handles the dishwashing while the duke of Edinburgh prepares a large BBQ on the second day of the weekend retreat at Balmoral.

It was wonderful to visit Belmore, but in the northern industrial areas, riots are getting more violent due to high inflation rates, persistent strikes, and unemployment, making Britain the sick man of Europe.

After eight years in office, the frustrated prime minister asks a special session with the queen in March 1976. I did question him about his resignation at the time.

He explained that he had been there for such a long time that he had witnessed the same questions being asked over and over again. Since he had run out of new answers, he felt it was time to go.

An ambitious Lincolnshire grocer's daughter battles her way to the top of the Conservative party over the course of the following three years—yes, I am an iron lady—by doing nothing but fighting.

Being an iron duke wasn't all awful. Margaret Thatcher's campaign was devised by the advertising firm Sachem and Sachem, and she hired a style consultant and vocal coach. Britain was exceptional throughout these years.

Stuffy Al Britton was ahead of the curve in this regard as we had a female head of state and female head of the executive branch. These two women included the queen, who would stop at nothing to avoid conflict, and Baroness Thatcher, who liked confrontation.

Since the queen despises Margaret Thatcher and promptly deregulates the financial markets, this is one of the reasons she is a successful constitutional monarch.

There was more social unrest, riots, strikes, and a lack of social cohesiveness under Margaret Thatcher than at any other moment in history, notwithstanding the stock market's growth. However, the gap between the affluent and the poor is widening.

There is evidence that the queen was quite unhappy about what occurred for a significant portion of the period under Margaret Thatcher, partially because she felt she had to grip the nettle and her manner was aggressive.

The two women disagree on foreign policy issues as well. The Commonwealth nations urge Thatcher to speak out against South Africa's apartheid government.

However, the prime minister isn't interested in dealing with the issues facing the Commonwealth of Nations. African nations were tired of white Britain's backing for sanctions that effectively slowed down.

They were aware that Margaret Thatcher was complicit in this because she had halted and postponed discussions of penalties against her in the British parliament.

Elizabeth attended a gathering of Commonwealth nations, so backing their argument that Thatcher must capitulate and be relegated to the background.

Prince Charles marries Diana Spencer on July 29, 1981, and the royal family is more well-liked than ever at home.

The bride was the most beautiful, and the entire world was interested in that wedding. It was magnificent; the entire country celebrated it, and it was a great fairy tale love story. In my opinion, there has never been another wedding that could compare.
