Join us as we take a look back at those Monarchs who have influenced the world of 9”H 2006 $375 collecting the most. We often hear of living legends, but that is precisely what Queen Elizabeth II has become. Britain’s longest reigning Monarch has seen much change since succeeding her father in 1952 and her glorious Coronation in 1953. Her Coronation marked an important turning point for people after the ravages of WWII. With all its pomp and ceremony and the event being televised, people hailed a second Elizabethan period. The Queen has been immortalised and events in her life commemorated many times during her 60 year reign. Now Royal Doulton’s latest series of four portrait figures take us on a trip down memory lane – from her time as a young mechanic helping the war effort, to young mother posing with her beloved corgis, to the Queen on one of her famous walkabouts and finally a royal group sitting for official photographs for her grandson, George’s christening; the baby who one day will also succeed to the throne.

For over half a century Churchill was at the forefront of political life but this alone does not tell his story. Born into the family of the Dukes of Marlborough, he saw action as a young army officer, was a war correspondent and an author as well. Seemingly retired into the wilderness by those around him, Churchill once again rose to prominence in the late 1930’s warning Britain of the dangers of Nazism and the need for re-armament. Although Churchill retired as Prime Minister in 1955 during his second time in that office, he continued to be a member of Parliament until his death in 1965, at which point the Queen granted him a state funeral. Such was the esteem Royal Doulton she held him in. He had, after all, been her first Prime Prince William Minister and held her in equally high esteem.
