For millions of people, both in Britain and across the world, Elizabeth II is the embodiment of monarchy. Her long life spans nearly a century of national and global history, from a time before the Great Depression to the era of COVID-19.

The vast majority of Britons cannot remember a world without Elizabeth II as head of state and the Commonwealth.

From our funniest writer, a portrait of our most talked-about royal. She made John Lennon blush and Marlon Brando clam up. She cold-shouldered Princess Diana and humiliated Elizabeth Taylor.

Others are equally passionate in her defence: to them, she is a victim of misogyny.

Finding a living place and community that aligns with your values is crucial. I will invite the creators, leaders, and members of such villages communities to share information about such project achievements and challenges.
