William Cecil, of course!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Robert Dudley more or less!.
They were friends during there child hood and grew up together!.
Elizabeth actually thought of marrying him too, after his wife had died (which created a lot of controversy during that time), but decided she would be dedicated to her country, rather than have a husband!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

She had two

1- William Cecil, the 1st Baron Burghley!. Her Secretary of State and later Lord High Treasurer!.

2- Sir Francis Walsingham!. Had the very loose title of "principal secretary" but was actually Elizabeth's "spymaster" and creator of the first organised intelligence unit!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

William Cecil and Robert Dudley (much to everyones dismay)Www@QuestionHome@Com
