Taong 1991, matapos ang tagumpay sa Digmaan sa Golpo, Si Elizabeth ang naging unang monarkong Britanniko na magtalumpati sa sanibang pulong ng Konreso ng Estados Unidos.
Sa isang talumpati noong 24 Nobyembre 1992, para markahan ang ikaapatnapung taon sa trono, tinagurian ni Elizabeth ang taong yaon bilang kanyang annus horribilis o nakapangingilabot na taon. Marso noong taong yaon, naghiwalay ang anak niyang si Prinsipe Andrew, Duke ng York sa asawa niyang si Sarah, Dukesa ng York; noong Abril naman ay ang anak naman ni Elizabeth na si Anne, Prinsesa Royal ay nakipaghiwalay din sa asawa niyang si Kapitan Mark Phillips. Noong bumisita naman siya sa Alemania noong Oktubre, binato siya ng itlog ng mga demonstrador, at noong Nobyembre, nasunog ang malaking bahagi ng Kastilyo ng Windsor. Ang monakiya ay nakatanggap ng kritisismo at labis na pagkuwestiyon ng publiko. Inanunsyo naman ng Punong Ministro John Major ang mga reporma sa pinansyang royal, kabilang ang pagbabayad ng Reyna ng buwis sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon at pagbabawas sa Listahang Sibil. Disyembre naman ng maghiwalay ang Prinsipe at Prinsesa ng Gales. Nagtapos ang taon sa isang ''lawsuit'' na kung saan kinasuhan ang pahayagang ''The Sun'' dahil sa pagsasapubliko ng Mensaheng Royal sa Pasko dalawang araw bago ito ipalabas. Ang pahayagan ay napilitang magbayad at ang £200,000 ay idinonate sa charity.
In the ensuing years, public revelations on the state of Charles and Diana's marriage continued.<sup>[135]</sup> Even though support for republicanism in Britain seemed higher than at any time in living memory, republicanism remained a minority viewpoint and the Queen herself had high approval ratings.<sup>[136]</sup> Criticism was focused on the institution of monarchy itself and the Queen's wider family rather than the Queen's own behaviour and actions.<sup>[137]</sup> In consultation with her husband, Prime Minister John Major, Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey, and her private secretary,Robert Fellowes, she wrote to Charles and Diana at the end of December 1995, saying that a divorce was desirable.<sup>[138]</sup> A year after the divorce, which took place in 1996, Diana was killed in a car crash in Paris on 31 August 1997. The Queen was on holiday with her son and grandchildren at Balmoral. Diana's two sons wanted to attend church and so the Queen and Prince Philip took them that morning.<sup>[139]</sup> After that single public appearance, for five days the Queen and the Duke shielded their grandsons from the intense press interest by keeping them at Balmoral where they could grieve in private,<sup>[140]</sup> but the royal family's seclusion and a failure to fly a flag at half-mast over Buckingham Palace caused public dismay.<sup>[121][141]</sup> Pressured by the hostile reaction, the Queen agreed to a live broadcast to the world and returned to London to deliver it on 5 September, the day beforeDiana's funeral.<sup>[142]</sup> In the broadcast, she expressed admiration for Diana and her feelings "as a grandmother" for Princes William and Harry.<sup>[143]</sup> As a result, much of the public hostility evaporated.<sup>[143]</sup> ▼
