Queen Elizabeth II photographed at Sandringham House. Bettmann Archive When Queen Elizabeth II  died  at age 96 on Thursday (Sept. 8), she left behind a substantial legacy in terms of politics, culture and media. But if you rule a country for 70 years, you’re never going to make everyone happy, and while she was certainly beloved by millions, she inspired her fair share of critics and detractors, too.
