This sentence actually doesn’t mean much, so don’t think too much about it
What I understand about this sentence
First of all, let’s have a general understanding of Elizabeth II’s life. Her achievements: (Brief introduction)
1. She serves as the hereditary head of state of the United Kingdom, Queen of Canada, Queen of Australia, Queen of New Zealand, Queen of Barbados, Queen of Papua New Guinea, Queen of the Bahamas, Queen of Belize, Antigua and Barbuda Queen of Grenada Queen of St. Kitts and Nevis Queen of St. Lucia Queen of St. Vincent Queen of the Grenadines Queen of Solomon Islands Monarch of Tuvalu Queen of Jamaica and Supreme Head of the Commonwealth (52 member states)
2. Almost every prime minister who has worked with her has given the Queen high praise. Since the day she ascended the throne, she has spent an average of 3 hours a day on state affairs, reading documents sent from various departments and the Prime Minister's Office
The second is to understand the background of her saying this:
Because she is approaching the 60th anniversary of her accession to the throne, she can be considered an old person. Logically, she should retreat behind the scenes like the president of our country and let the new generation come up. But for her, attending public events is a very important task, so People often advise her to step back to the second line and enjoy the blessings, so she always answers with the original words: I have to be seen to be believed. You can translate this sentence more abstractly. I am so different, or literally translate it, I must be (on the front line). See as a belief
So in my opinion, it is a humorous summary of Elizabeth II's life achievements and an expression of her pretentious temperament that she still wants to take on heavy responsibilities. She likes to use this sentence to describe herself.

So if you really think that the second generation has great intentions in saying this, I don’t think it is necessary. This sentence is really very similar to what Chairman Mao said about romantic figures. I don’t know whether you agree with my opinion or not p>
Purely try to adopt it
