There is something amazing and fascinating about a woman who has served her country at the highest level for 70 years.<\/h2>\n<p>by Newt Gingrich<\/p>\n<div>\n<p class=\"p1\">Callista and I were discussing the upcoming 70th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth\u2019s coronation. She was 25 years old on Feb. 6, 1952, when her father died unexpectedly while she was in Kenya. A year and four months later<span class=\"s1\">,<\/span> on June 2, 1953<span class=\"s1\">,<\/span> she was coronated at Westminster Abbey with people watching from all over the world through the relatively new medium of television. An estimated 27 million Britons (of a total population of 36 million) watched the coronation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The ceremony at Westminster Abbey had deep roots. The ritual itself dates back to King Edgar the Peaceful\u2019s coronation at Bath in 973. Queen Elizabeth was the 39th monarch coronated at Westminster Abbey in a tradition dating back to William the Conqueror in 1066.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In her seven decades as queen<span class=\"s1\">,<\/span> there have been 13 American presidents inaugurated, beginning with President Dwight Eisenhower. President John F. Kennedy had a unique personal tie to the coronation<span class=\"s1\">,<\/span> because his wife Jackie Onassis had been a reporter covering the event for an American newspaper.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Matching up with the 13 American presidents were 14 British prime ministers<span class=\"s1\">,<\/span> beginning with Winston Churchill. The Queen has always said she learned a great deal from Churchill \u2013 and that he was just plain fun. Churchill had always been deeply devoted to the institution of the monarchy<span class=\"s1\">,<\/span> and he wanted to ensure the new<span class=\"s1\">,<\/span> young queen would operate in a manner that strengthened affection for royalty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Callista and I have enjoyed the TV series \u201cThe Crown\u201d and saw \u201cThe Audience\u201d on Broadway. Helen Mirren was absolutely brilliant as Queen Elizabeth<span class=\"s1\">,<\/span> meeting each week with her prime ministers. In a more distant nod to the British aristocracy<span class=\"s1\">,<\/span> we are absolute devotees of \u201cDownton Abbey\u201d and have visited Highclere Castle<span class=\"s1\">,<\/span> where it is filmed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Queen Elizabeth is a truly historic figure. There is something amazing and fascinating about a woman who has served her country at the highest level for 70 years \u2013 and continues every day to work at representing the nation and sustaining the respect for the institution of monarchy in a world where so much has changed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">At a time when so many things seem temporary, challenging, changing<span class=\"s1\">,<\/span> and unpredictable<span class=\"s1\">,<\/span> it is comforting to know that Queen Elizabeth represents a commitment to values and continuity which has absorbed her life. She is an admirable example of dedication, public service, and devotion to one\u2019s country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\" \/>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background is-style-wide\" \/>\n<h2 id=\"h-newt-s-latest-articles\">Newt\u2019s Latest Articles:<\/h2>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator alignwide\" \/>\n<h2 id=\"h-newt-s-latest-podcasts\">Newt\u2019s Latest Podcasts:<\/h2>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\" \/>\n<h2 id=\"h-pre-order-newt-s-latest-book\">Pre-<strong>Order Newt\u2019s Latest Book:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Queen Elizabeth is a truly historic figure.
