 ROYAL FAMILY

ENGLAND IS
PRIMARILY
ASSOCIATED WITH
THE ROYAL FAMILY.
THE HEAD OF THE
ROYAL FAMILY IS
QUEEN ELIZABETH.

20 / 2
FOR ME, THE MOST PROMINENT REPRESENTATIVE OF
THE ROYAL FAMILY IS STILL PRINCESS DIANA. SHE IS
THE TRUE EPITOME OF FEMININITY. FOR ME, SHE IS
AN ICON. FROM THE TIME OF HER MARRIAGE TO THE
PRINCE OF WALES IN 1981 UNTIL HER DEATH IN A
CAR ACCIDENT IN PARIS IN 1997, DIANA, PRINCESS
OF WALES WAS ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST HIGH-
PROFILE, MOST PHOTOGRAPHED
WILLIAM
SHAKESPEARE.
IF YOU ASK A PERSON WHO LOVES
LITERATURE WITH THE QUESTION:
"WHO IS THE REAL ICON OF
BRITAIN?" - HE ANSWERED
WITHOUT HESITATION - WILLIAM
SHAKESPEARE. WILLIAM
SHAKESPEARE WAS A PLAYWRIGHT
AND POET WHOSE BODY OF WORKS
IS CONSIDERED THE GREATEST IN
ENGLISH LITERATURE. HE WROTE
DOZENS OF PLAYS WHICH
CONTINUE TO DOMINATE WORLD
THEATER 400 YEARS LATER.

 SIR WINSTON
CHURCHILL AND
«V FOR VICTORY»
 NOBODY KNOWS FOR SURE
WHERE THE V- SIGN CAME
FROM BUT MANY ENGLISH
PEOPLE HAVE CHOSEN IT AS
A NATIONAL ICON. DURING
WORLD WAR II IT WAS USED
TO MEAN VICTORY, AND IT
WAS USED AGAIN BY HIPPIES
TO MEAN PEACE. AS THE
SYMBOL OF PEACE, IT HAS
BECOME UNIVERSAL, WHILE
THE «V FOR VICTORY» WILL
FOREVER BE ASSOCIATED
WITH THE WARTIME PRIME
MINISTER, SIR WINSTON
CHURCHILL.
THE ROLLS-ROYCE
FOR CAR LOVERS, THE ROLLS-
ROYCE HAS BECOME A REAL
ICON. IT IS THE MOST
LUXURIOUS CLASSIC CAR IN
THE WORLD. IT WAS THE
BRAINCHILD OF ENGINEER
HENRY ROYCE AND CAR TRADER
CHARLES ROLLS. THEY WANTED
TO MAKE “THE BEST CAR IN THE
WORLD.” THE CAR WAS
NICKNAMED THE “SILVER
GHOST”. .
 WINNIE THE POOH
Winnie the Pooh knows, probably, every child. More
than one generation of children grew up on this
character from books by Alexander Alan Milne
