456 years ago, Elizabeth Tudor was officially crowned Queen of England, at Westminster Abbey.

Getting to the throne was no easy task, as the times were colorful, meaning dangerous and unpredictable. Still, when Elizabeth’s sister, Queen Mary I, died, Elizabeth took over, and ruled for 44 productive years, enjoying fame and commendation. As mentioned, it was not a time when 100% popularity was likely, but she is still the best known of Henry VIII’s children.

The moral of all this is, Being Queen is no stroll on the seashore. We Rhinos like to think We could handle the assignment, but nobody has ever asked Us to try it. Few Rhino tears have been shed over that lapse.
