"In the end, all will be well." It was 1940 and the world was at war. Princess Elizabeth, aged 14, was speaking to Britain. 

She never went to school. But in 1952, aged 25, she became Queen. 

Life has changed a lot since then. Now, after Queen Elizabeth IIThe monarch of the United Kingdom from 1952 to 2022. has died, some people are asking if Britain still needs a king or queen. 

Here are the reasons why some people think the answer is yes:

People cannot choose to become king or queen. They are born into the role. It means that someone who just wants a lot of power cannot choose to take the throne.

The king or queen does their job for their whole life. They can give advice to leaders who do not remember the problems of the past.

When world leaders change, the king or queen stays the same. They make sure that not everything changes at once.
