[00:00:00] Hello, hello hello, and welcome to English Learning for Curious Minds, by Leonardo English.

[00:00:12] The show where you can listen to fascinating stories, and learn weird and wonderful things about the world at the same time as improving your English.

[00:00:22] I'm Alastair Budge, and today we are going to be talking about a lady called Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor, a lady you probably know by the name “Queen Elizabeth II”.

[00:00:35] We’ll talk about the life of Queen Elizabeth, how she was never meant to be queen in the first place, how she, and the country developed over the years.

We’ll talk about some of the controversies she has survived, how she changed the monarchy, and we’ll also have time to hear about some unusual experiences she has had.

[00:00:56] And of course we will also talk about the particular type of English that she uses, a type of English so famous that it has its own name, “The Queen’s English”.
