About Elizabeth II

Queen Elizabeth II: The Reign of a Monarch

For over 70 years, Queen Elizabeth II has reigned over the United Kingdom, becoming the longest-reigning monarch in British history. Born on April 21, 1926, in London, Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor was the first child of the Duke and Duchess of York, who later became King George VI and Queen Elizabeth.

As a young princess, Elizabeth was educated at home and showed a keen interest in horses and dogs. She also developed a love for the arts, particularly music and painting. In 1947, she married Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and the couple went on to have four children: Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward.

In 1952, Elizabeth's father passed away, and she ascended to the throne at the age of 25. Her coronation was held the following year, and she became the first monarch to have her ceremony televised. Throughout her reign, Elizabeth has been a symbol of stability and continuity, guiding the country through times of great change and upheaval.

During her reign, Elizabeth has seen the rise and fall of numerous prime ministers, including Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, and Tony Blair. She has also witnessed significant events such as the end of the British Empire, the Cold War, and the 9/11 attacks.

Despite her long reign, Elizabeth has remained largely apolitical, focusing instead on her duties as a monarch and her role as a figurehead for the country. She has also been a strong advocate for the Commonwealth, a group of 54 countries that were once part of the British Empire.

As she approaches her 96th birthday, Elizabeth remains a beloved figure in the United Kingdom and around the world. Her reign has been marked by a steadfast commitment to duty, a deep love for her country, and a dedication to public service.

About Death

On 8 September 2022, Buckingham Palace released a statement which read: "Following further evaluation this morning, the Queen's doctors are concerned for Her Majesty's health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision. The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral." Her immediate family rushed to Balmoral to be by her side. She died peacefully at 15:10 BST at the age of 96, with two of her children, Charles and Anne, by her side. Her death was announced to the public at 18:30, setting in motion Operation London Bridge and, because she died in Scotland, Operation Unicorn. Elizabeth was the first monarch to die in Scotland since James V in 1542. Her death certificate recorded her cause of death as "old age".
