As the Commonwealth endures the coronavirus pandemic, the Queen has made comparisons between the current crisis and the hardship of the war years. Elizabeth was just 13 when war broke out in 1939, but went on to become the first female member of the royal family to serve in the armed forces in 1945. Fascinating video clips chart her growing role in the war effort, from her first radio broadcast addressing child evacuees in 1940, to her appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during the VE Day celebrations in 1945. Not everyone knows the full extent of Elizabeth's role in the final year of the war. The heir presumptive was granted a commission as an honorary second subaltern in the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) on 24 February 1945. During her service, the princess learned how to repair vehicle engines as a mechanic in her unit. The monarch’s position as a driver and mechanic during the war is being explored in a documentary airing at 9pm on Wednesday 22 April on ITV, titled Our Queen at War. ~~~ www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZpbrjQd3OI ~ 5:34 ~ April 22, 2020 Happy 94th Birthday to the Queen! ~~ HM Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her 94th birthday on Tuesday 21 April 2020. ~ It's been a busy 12 months for Her Majesty - one state banquet, one new prime minister, and she welcomed one more great-grandchild into the family. ~ We take a look back at the highlights from the Queen's 93rd year! ~~ www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFBLy3dBagU ~ 3:11 ~ April 21, 2020 ~

72 ~~~ Queen Elizabeth II: a travel icon ~~~ From trips around her beloved home country to far-flung escapes that soon caught on – we reflect on the life of a royal travel trendsetter Queen Elizabeth II: a true travel icon Throughout her long and illustrious reign, travel always played a hugely important role in the Queen’s life. As our most well-travelled monarch, she spent decades learning from other cultures around the world, repeatedly crossing the globe during her residency at Buckingham Palace. And let’s not forget that her reign actually began on foreign soil – the 25-year-old then-princess was staying at the Treetops Hotel in Aberdare National Park, Kenya, when she first learnt about the death of her father, George VI, on the night of 6 February 1952. Whether it was travelling the high seas in the Royal Yacht Britannia or turning far-flung locations into must-visit holiday destinations, the Queen always knew how to circumnavigate the globe in style. Here we take a closer look at, and celebrate, her life in travel. www.cntraveller.com/article/queen-elizabeth-travel-icon?9 September 2022

74 ~~~ Unexpected things that will happen in London now the Queen has died A round-up of both the traditional and more left-field events that will take place in London during the period of national mourning, following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II Wherever you might be, in London or beyond, by now you will have been made aware of the once-in-our-lifetime news: Queen Elizabeth II has died. The historic, record-breaking and most well-travelled British monarch passed away on Thursday 8 September 2022, in Balmoral Castle, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. ‘Operation London Bridge’, the code name for the extremely detailed funeral plans, originally devised in the 1960s by royals and government officials, has now been enacted, and, as its name suggests, revolves around London. Yesterday, a black sign was pinned to the Buckingham Palace gates by a footman, and overnight thousands have gathered there to lay flowers, letters and candles, and pay their final respects to the longest-running royal ruler of modern times. Here are all the things that are set to take place in the city, with some elements you may not expect. www.cntraveller.com/article/unexpected-things-happen-london-queen-dies#9 September 2022

75 ~~~ Inside Balmoral Castle: how do the British royals spend their holidays? Here’s everything you need to know about the royal family's beloved Scottish residence It’s widely acknowledged that Balmoral Castle was the Queen’s favourite of her many homes – with the monarch decamping to the Aberdeenshire castle in high summer every year. “It’s the most beautiful place on earth,” Princess Eugenie said in an ITV documentary released to coincide with Her Majesty’s 90th birthday. “I think Granny is the most happy there. I think she really, really loves the Highlands.” It’s a feeling shared by Balmoral’s first royal owner, Queen Victoria, who famously called the estate her “heaven on earth”. www.cntraveller.com/article/inside-balmoral-castle26 May 2022

Of course, there was the Queen’s well-documented love of Scotland, where Her Majesty was joined each year by large numbers of The Firm for some country pursuits – but the Windsors also have a clear penchant for escaping to tropical islands in the Caribbean, Indian Ocean and Mediterranean as well. Below, we round up some of the British royals’ favourite sun-drenched spots to inspire your next trip. www.cntraveller.com/article/royals-holiday-destinations23 May 2022

While initiatives and parties and plaques have sprung up across her extensive queendom ever since, the ultimate commemoration of her Platinum Jubilee will take place over a special four-day bank holiday weekend from Thursday 2 to Sunday 5 June, in line with when her actual coronation took place on 2 June 1953. Brits everywhere will be given the Thursday and Friday off work to join in the merriment – including a special 1am pub closing time. While some big-bill events, such as the Platinum Party at (Buckingham) Palace concert on Saturday 4 June, have already allocated tickets via ballot (catch it on the BBC instead), and others, such as the Big Jubilee Lunch, and various street parties across the UK, require you and your local neighbourhood organise your own fun, there are hundreds of cool things going on with tickets still available (at time of publication, anyway). From flag-waving parades to Royal afternoon teas and Corgi cafés, here we pick out the things to do in London to ensure you make it a big weekend to remember. www.cntraveller.com/article/london-queens-platinum-jubilee-events31 May 2022

80 ~~~ The Queen’s favourite places to visit around the world From walking in the Scottish Highlands to a safari getaway in Kenya Having celebrated seven decades on the throne, it’s not surprising that the Queen clocked up more than a few historic firsts. Not only was she our longest-reigning monarch, but she was also the most well-travelled British monarch in history. Her Majesty visited a remarkable 117 different countries during her reign. And while you’d be hard-pressed to call many of them holidays – the majority were, in fact, fairly gruelling royal tours – there were a few places around the world that held a particularly special place in her heart. From the Kenyan hotel where she first learnt about her father’s death to the rural wilderness where she went to get away from it all, we’ve rounded up the Queen’s favourite destinations around the world, in no particular order. www.cntraveller.com/gallery/queen-favourite-places-around-the-world12 March 2022
