About Queen Elizabeth II
From 6 February 1952 until her passing on 8 September 2022, Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; 21 April 1926 – 8 September 2022)[1] reigned as Queen of the United Kingdom and of 14 other sovereign nations. [a] [b] She ruled for the most time of any British monarch, 70 years and 7 months.
Elizabeth was the first child born to the Duke and Duchess of York and was born in Mayfair, London (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth). Elizabeth was the presumed heir when her father assumed the throne in 1936 following the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII. She received a private home education before starting to serve in the Auxiliary Territorial Service during the Second World War. She wed former prince Philip Mountbatten in November 1947.
Prior to his passing in April 2021, she wed Philip Mountbatten, a former prince of Denmark and Greece. Their union lasted 73 years. Charles, King of the United Kingdom, Anne, Princess Royal, Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex are their four children.
Early life of Queen Elizabeth II
On April 21, 1926, at 02:40 (GMT), Elizabeth was born. At the time, her paternal grandfather King George V was in power. The second son of the King, the Duke of York (later King George VI), was her father. The youngest child of Scottish aristocracy Claude Bowes-Lyon, 14th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, who lived in London at 17 Bruton Street in Mayfair and gave birth to her mother, the Duchess of York (later Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother), via Caesarean section, was the Duchess of York.
On May 29, she was baptised in the private chapel of Buckingham Palace by the Anglican Archbishop of York, Cosmo Gordon Lang. She was given the names Elizabeth after her mother, Alexandra after her paternal great-grandmother, who had passed away six months earlier, and Mary after her paternal grandmother. Mary was named after her paternal grandmother, who had passed away six months before. She was adored by her grandfather, George V, whom she adoringly referred to as “Grandpa England,” and her frequent visits during his serious illness in 1929 were credited in the public eye and by later biographers with lifting his spirits and assisting his recovery. She was known as “Lilibet” by her close family,[7] based on what she called herself at first.
Queen Elizabeth II: Heir presumptive
Elizabeth was third in line for the British throne during her grandfather’s reign, after her father and her uncle Edward. Even though her birth sparked curiosity in the public, it was not anticipated that she would become queen because Edward was still a child and was most likely to be married and have his own children, who would succeed Elizabeth in the line of succession.
She passed her father in line for the throne after her grandfather’s death in 1936, when her uncle became Edward VIII. After his anticipated union with divorced socialite Wallis Simpson sparked a constitutional crisis later that year, Edward abdicated. [18] As a result, George VI, Elizabeth’s father, ascended to the throne. Elizabeth became the presumed successor because she didn’t have any brothers. She would have been below him in the line of succession, which was established at the time by male-preference primogeniture, if her parents had later given birth to a son.
Queen Elizabeth II: Marrige
Elizabeth first met Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark in 1934, and they reconnected in 1937. They were third cousins through Queen Victoria and second cousins once removed through Danish King Christian IX. Elizabeth, who was only 13 at the time, claimed she fell in love with Philip after their third encounter at the Royal Naval College in Dartmouth in July 1939. They then started writing to one another. When their engagement was formally announced on July 9, 1947, she was 21 years old.
The relationship was not without controversy because Philip had no money, was foreign-born (despite being a British national who had fought in the Royal Navy during World War II), and had sisters who had wed Nazi-affiliated German noblemen.
Queen Elizabeth II: Accession and coronation
As George VI’s health deteriorated in 1951, Elizabeth frequently filled in for him at official functions. Her private secretary, Martin Charteris, brought a draught accession declaration with her when she toured Canada and met with President Harry S. Truman in Washington, D.C., in October 1951.
Elizabeth and Philip left for Australia and New Zealand at the beginning of 1952, travelling through Kenya. They had barely gotten back to Sagana Lodge in Kenya on February 6, 1952, after spending the previous night at Treetops Hotel, when word of George VI’s passing and Elizabeth’s subsequent ascension to the throne with immediate effect reached them. The new queen received the news from Philip.
Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II
Elizabeth celebrated her accession’s Silver Jubilee in 1977. Throughout the Commonwealth, celebrations and events were held, many of which coincided with her related national and Commonwealth trips. Despite almost coincidental unfavourable news coverage of Princess Margaret’s divorce from her husband, Lord Snowdon, the celebrations reaffirmed the Queen’s popularity.
The Queen put up with Nicolae Ceaușescu and his wife Elena visiting the UK on a state visit in 1978, while privately believing they had “blood on their hands.” The assassination of her relative and in-law Lord Mountbatten by the Provisional Irish Republican Army and the exposure of Anthony Blunt, a former surveyor of the Queen’s Pictures, as a communist spy, respectively, struck the Queen the following year.
Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh boarded a ship out of Southwark on the eve of the new millennium that was headed for the Millennium Dome. The Queen used a laser torch to illuminate the National Millennium Beacon in the Pool of London before crossing beneath Tower Bridge.
Just before the clock struck twelve, she declared the Dome open. The Queen, the Duke, and British Prime Minister Tony Blair clasped hands while singing Auld Lang Syne.
Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II
Celebrations were organised across the Queen’s kingdoms, the larger Commonwealth, and abroad to commemorate her 60 years as monarch. While her children and grandchildren undertook royal tours of other Commonwealth nations on her behalf, she and her husband completed a lengthy trip of the United Kingdom. [189] [190] Jubilee beacons were lit on June 4th all throughout the world.
The Queen made an unexpected visit at a wedding party in Manchester Town Hall while on a Jubilee tour of Manchester, which garnered headlines throughout the world. The monarch and her spouse commemorated their blue sapphire wedding anniversary in November (65th). She was the first British monarch since George III in 1781 to attend a Cabinet meeting on December 18.
Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II
On February 6, 2022, the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee officially began, marking 70 years since she succeeded to the throne following the passing of her father. Elizabeth hosted a reception at Sandringham House on the night of the event for retirees, neighbourhood Women’s Institute members, and charity volunteers. In her Accession Day statement, Elizabeth reaffirmed her 1947 pledge to devote her life to public service.
