Chapter 1,716 Dynasty

"Elizabeth."

When I saw Elizabeth, her haggard expression made people feel heartbroken.

"Uncle Charlie..." Elizabeth couldn't hold back her tears.

He crossed his hands in front of him, raised his neck, and held back his tears.

"Stop talking." Li Zitao gently hugged her back and comforted: "It's okay, it will pass, everything will pass..."

Although Elizabeth tried her best to hold back her tears, the grievances in her heart were overflowing like a river, and she couldn't help it...

I cried for twenty minutes when the door opened suddenly.

Elizabeth raised her head, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and returned to her usual elegance and reserve.

"Your Highness, everyone is waiting for you." The royal butler lowered his head and said humbly.

"I'll be here right away," Elizabeth said in a calm tone.

"yes."

By the time the housekeeper left, Elizabeth's emotions had calmed down. She looked at Li Zitao gratefully and said, "Thank you, Uncle Charlie."

"We are a family." Li Zitao said seriously: "Now, it's time for you to go out, someone is waiting for you."

Mason stepped forward and put his arm around her shoulders, comforting her softly and leaving together.

They need to go to mourn with the royal family members first. The funeral will be held in three days. During this period, they need to prepare for the reception problems of other countries coming to mourn.

"Earl Lee, I have your phone number. You're from Los Angeles." The servant came to remind him.

The call was from Mary, who was about to leave and called first to inquire about the situation.

"Elizabeth is strong. With Mason by her side, nothing will happen... You have to come as soon as possible. The follow-up matters should be concluded within this week."

This time is not only the king's funeral, but also the succession of Elizabeth, the investiture of Mason and the wedding of the two.

However, for these things to be carried out smoothly, the first factor is that the first thing must be completed smoothly - Elizabeth's takeover.

As long as she succeeds George VI and becomes queen, all subsequent problems will be easy to solve.

As for the relationship between the two, Li Zitao has nothing to worry about.

The premise is that no one is there to stir up trouble.

Fortunately, from his short observation, the relationship between Elizabeth and Ethan was getting stronger, which made him feel more at ease.

In fact, today, Li Zitao has lost a lot of utilitarianism when it comes to the union between the two.

He would rather see Mason and Elizabeth support each other, grow old together, and live a happy life.

This is his most sincere expectation and blessing as a father.

Mary arrived in London that evening, along with Aiden, Pearl and little Jenny, and the whole family.

Funerals are always heavy and sad. The death of George VI was not only a major blow to the family, but also a huge loss to the entire country.

As a leader who led the country to victory in World War II, he did not waver even in the most dangerous and difficult times and stood with the people to withstand the test.

The supreme leader and national ruler who encourages the Commonwealth and his own people all the time, represents the indomitable spirit of the Commonwealth...

No matter what the merits or demerits are,

Neither shortcomings nor flaws can erase his contribution and greatness.

Not only were all the leaders of the Commonwealth member states present at the funeral, but other countries, large and small, also sent their highest-level delegations.

It can be said that this is a grand event that has gathered the largest number of important leaders in the world since the end of World War II.

It's just that the theme is a bit too sad.

The funeral of George VI was carried out in an orderly manner in accordance with the standards of a monarchy's state funeral. His coffin was placed in the hall of Westminster Abbey for the public to pay their respects.

On this day, a total of more than 300,000 people lined up to pay their last respects to the king.

Likewise, an unwelcome and disgruntled distinguished guest arrives in London.

The eldest brother of George VI, the Duke of Windsor.

The British Duke and former king who was exiled to the United States was looking at the advancing team with anger.

Who can imagine the sadness and anger in his heart.

As a British Duke and the eldest brother of George VI, he actually learned about the death of his second brother from a reporter.

The royal family called all important members but missed him.

What made him even more humiliated was that on such an occasion, the royal family still refused to allow his wife to attend the event.

However, the Duke of Windsor didn't know that something more exciting was waiting for him next.

"Why?" When he learned that his annual subsidy of 10,000 pounds had been cancelled, he truly realized what it means that misfortunes never come singly.

"Your subsidy is paid out of the king's personal property. Now..."

Very understandable.

In the past, when the second brother was here, he would subsidize him out of his own pocket.

Now that he is gone, no one is willing to provide the 10,000 pound subsidy, and his money is naturally gone.

When he wrote to his wife again, the Duke of Windsor's eyes were filled with rage, and he began to hate the country that gave birth to him.

A strange emotion also arose in his heart. Maybe at this special time, he could seize the opportunity to do something.

No matter how important it is, it cannot withstand the polish and destruction of time.

Soon after the funeral, all royal affairs returned to normal, the country continued to operate normally, and Elizabeth's succession ceremony was officially put on the agenda.

During this period, Elizabeth had guests to see almost every minute.

Not only the members of the royal family, cabinet ministers, but also the cardinal archbishop of the Holy See, the study of various etiquette, rules, and royal code...

"It's hard even for me to see her at this time." Sitting in the same room with his parents, brothers and sisters, Mason pretended to be helpless and said.

"How did you discuss the wedding?" Mary was more concerned about her son's lifelong events than the royal family's events.

"We talked once. After the succession ceremony is over, I will be awarded the title of Duke... After the wedding, I will find an opportunity to be promoted to Prince."

"What about you?" Mary wanted to hear his opinion.

"I'm not interested in these, I would rather stay in the army." Mason said nonchalantly.

Dukes and princes sound boring.

He has had a lot of contact with the royal family over the years, and he knows a lot about their red tape.

The royal family, to put it nicely, is the supreme leader of the country.

To put it bluntly, it is a mascot, a spiritual symbol and an archway for show.

Mason didn't know if he could bear it if he was asked to build this memorial arch.

"Your mother and I disagree. Have you ever seen a duke or prince leading troops in peacetime?" Li Zitao retorted.

Mary also agreed: "What you do will only make the people feel a sense of crisis... Whether you are a duke or a prince, your responsibility should be to make the people feel safe."
