Comments

In honour of Queen Elizabeth II’s 100th anniversary, this collection unveils seven neverbefore-seen effigies crafted by renowned sculptor Raphael Maklouf FRSA.

Across seventy years, Queen Elizabeth II’s life was shaped by unwavering duty. From her earliest days to her historic longevity, she remained committed to constancy, humility, and service — a continuous devotion to Crown and country.

1950s – The Young Queen: At 25, she assumed a role defined by responsibility, offering stability and hope to a nation rebuilding after war.

1960s – The Modern Monarch: She embraced change, using televised events and diplomacy to modernise the monarchy while preserving tradition.

1970s – Strength and Poise: Amid economic and social uncertainty, she remained a steady, reassuring figure.

1980s – The People’s Queen: Through increased public engagement and Commonwealth visits, she strengthened her bond with people around the world.

1990s – Resilience and Grace: Facing personal and public challenges, she showed humility and quiet strength.

2000s – Enduring Legacy: Her experience guided the nation through change, with jubilees highlighting her long service.

2010s – A Historic Reign: As Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, her legacy became one of steadfast commitment rather than power—defined above all by duty.
