Elisabetta, Cristina Parodi: “Unique figure, unrepeatable firmness and modernity”

“A piece of history ended with Queen Elizabeth, which she has profoundly marked. I have always studied royalty but the Queen is a unique and, I believe, unrepeatable figure. She has marked this century, she has been the engine of change and greatness of England. A symbol of unity in a world that kept changing, with a firmness but also with an incredible modernity “. It is the picture that Cristina Parodi draws at Adnkronos, commenting on the death of Queen Elizabeth. Expert in the events of the royal family and author of a best seller on the royalty of England (‘And did they all live happily ever after?’), The journalist analyzes the importance of the queen’s figure not only for her country but for the world . “She has always been a certainty: perfect, identical in her way of doing, from the clothing to the handbag, to the little dogs – says Parodi – and she has managed in the most difficult moments of her country to be an always credible point of reference. ‘born with that commitment, and carried out this task that was given to her with incredible dedication and self-denial. years gave the strength that allowed England to overcome very difficult times. Let’s not forget that England came out of the war, she was 26, and she always did the right thing at the right time “. On the succession to the kingdom, Parodi he observes: “Charles will be a king of passage, even if only inevitably for the age with which his reign begins. I do not think he will be able to deeply mark history. I believe that this will be up to his heir and successor who will surely be William, and that he will have the task of consolidating the transition and leading the new England. ” Finally, Parodi reserves a thought to what will remain most in the heart of the figure of Elizabeth: “She had the humility to change her mind when she felt she had had a wrong attitude, like towards Diana and her death. it is a sign of true greatness, and of great intelligence “.
