It’s been a year of ups and downs for Queen Elizabeth II.
However, there have been several rough patches for the queen throughout the year as well.
Her son Prince Andrew is still dealing with the repercussions of his alleged crimes against Virginia Giuffre.
As a result, the queen stripped the prince of all his royal titles (viaCNBC).
Elizabeth has also been dealing with health issues.
During her visit, some interesting things were going on behind the scenes in Scotland.
Would Her Majesty still rule over Scotland if the referendum passed?
Her Majesty is simply of the view this is a matter for the people of Scotland."
Salmond also reasoned she’d “be proud” to rule over an independent sovereign nation.
Campaigners fought back against this idea, arguing it should be put to a vote.
As a result, Her Majesty may soon be retiring to her beloved Balmoral for good.
