Abstract
This article describes how the monarchy has enjoyed historical continuity in a society that has not been invaded since 1066 and had no revolutionary experience unlike other European nations. The other peculiarity includes the confusion about ‘the British Isles’, ‘Great Britain’ and ‘England’. Britain is best understood as a fragmented archipelago of societies. Queen Elizabeth II managed to survive the peculiarities and two major crises: the dismissal of the Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam and the death of Lady Diana.
