Queen Elizabeth II approach to life and appearances
The following is a description of Elizabeth's basic stance toward life, the way others see her, the way Queen Elizabeth II comes across, the face she shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Queen Elizabeth II - her real motivation, which describes the kind of person she is at heart and where her true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Queen Elizabeth II" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Elizabeth a little better. This page describes the disguise Queen Elizabeth wears, her role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.
Cautious, prudent, and rather self-contained, she is a person who approaches life realistically and who is not inclined to take foolish chances or get carried away by the overly optimistic or idealistic schemes of starry-eyed dreamers. In fact, Queen Elizabeth II frequently has a jaundiced view of such things. She is rather worldly-wise at a fairly young age, even somewhat of a cynic. Often the world does not seem like a safe, friendly place to Queen Elizabeth, and she tends to approach life in a guarded, conservative manner. She is generally calculated and careful, and is rarely spontaneous, fluid, open, and childlike.
She is pragmatic, shrewd, and an excellent strategist, carefully planning her moves for maximum effectiveness and advantage. She is willing to work long and persistently for what she wants and she often does things the hard way. Elizabeth does not expect others to take care of her and sometimes refuses or simply does not seek any outside help. She is often very ambitious, but quietly so. There is nothing flamboyant or flashy about her approach. She is very responsible, conscientious, and concerned with her duties to others and how she comes across socially - her "rank" so to speak.
To others Queen Elizabeth II seems mature, serious, quiet, reflective, and emotionally detached. Elizabeth dislikes sloppy sentimentality and will not openly display her feelings, especially the more tender ones. Queen Elizabeth likes to always appear poised and in control; and she hates to show any weakness, vulnerability, or chinks in her armor.
Queen Elizabeth II respects tradition and the time-honored way of doing things, and she feels that there is much to be gained from studying history and also by learning from older, more experienced people. A wise mentor or father is often Queen Elizabeth's guide in life, and she in turn develops a great deal of hard-earned wisdom, which she likes to impart to younger people.
Queen Elizabeth II has a stern, authoritarian, no-nonsense aspect to her personality. She expects much from herself and may not give herself enough leeway to experiment and make mistakes.
She also tends to be rather close-fisted, to save and conserve her money and resources rather than spending or enjoying them. Queen Elizabeth II spends money on things of quality and of lasting value, things which are good investments, but not frivolous, temporary pleasures. There is a bit of the ascetic in her. Elizabeth exercises great self-discipline and self-control and she can "do without" very well. Her tastes are generally understated and simple.
Though she may have other, more colorful and imaginative sides, the face Queen Elizabeth shows the world is modest and rather conservative.
Queen Elizabeth II appears responsible, conscientious, and solid - qualities which encourage others to take her seriously. She is unlikely to present herself as more than she is, and this humility is often endearing, or at least appealing, to others. Even as a youth, Queen Elizabeth II seemed mature for her age.
There is a receptive, elusive quality to Elizabeth's personality. Queen Elizabeth can be difficult to pin down, difficult to know, something of a mystery. At times Queen Elizabeth II may feel frustrated because she feels that she is not being perceived very clearly, that she does not make a powerful impression, that she is easily overlooked or discounted. If she does not wish to be "invisible", Queen Elizabeth must make some effort to define and clarify - both for herself and for the rest of the world - who Queen Elizabeth II is. On the other hand, Queen Elizabeth II may purposely create illusions about herself with the intent to deceive - or entertain - others.
