Another Day In the Life of the Queen

Here you can read about one usual day of the Queen in Great Britain. It’s up to you to decide whether her daily routine is easy and pleasant or full of important and sometimes dull duties.

It was just a usual day; one among many other similar days in Her Majesty’s long reigning. Queen Elizabeth II woke up at 7 o’clock, had a cup of tea and read The Times. Then she had a bath and got dressed. At 8 o’clock she was listening to BBC news and then she had breakfast with Prince Philip. After breakfast she rang up Prince Charles. Then she read personal letters and had an important business consultation with Private Secretary and then worked at government documents.

At 1 o’clock she had a quick lunch in her private apartment in Buckingham Palace and at 2 o’clock left the Palace to open a new hospital. There she made speeches; shook hands and had a cup of tea. At 4.45 she was back at the Palace and worked in her office. At 5.30 she received foreign visitors and then had the final meeting with her Private Secretary. In the evening she went to St. James’s Palace where she had a reception party and talked with 70 people. Then she went to the Palace and at 8.30 had dinner with Prince Philip and a group of some businessmen. At 10 she watched television news and then read some official papers and phoned some members of the Royal Family – just to see if all was well. At about 11 she went to bed. She did a lot and she was very tired.

It is really a very hard job to be responsible for the whole country.
