Queen Elizabeth II

Our Queen, Queen Elizabeth II, became the longest-reigning monarch (King or Queen) in British history in September 2015 with an amazing 64 years on the throne and counting!

Becoming The Queen

Elizabeth II became Queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland when her dad - King George VI - died in February 1952. King George had no sons or brothers who could be king, so Elizabeth, King George's eldest daughter had to become queen. The next year, on 2nd of June 1953, Elizabeth II had her coronation, which is a special ceremony where she was given her real crown. This is a really big and important event with a parade, and a throne. It was so important that many people in the UK bought their first television to watch it!

Earlier Life

The Queen was born in 1926 and had one younger sister, Margaret. They were the children of King George VI and his wife Queen Elizabeth (who later became the Queen Mother when her husband died). When she was younger, the Queen was a very active person and loved horse riding. As a princess, Elizabeth wanted to join in and help with the Second World War effort, so in 1945, she joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service where she learned how to drive and fix vehicles. In 1947, she married Prince Philip from Greece and they went on to have four children: Charles (who will be our next King), Anne, Andrew and Edward. Even when planning her wedding, she thought about the war effort and used ration vouchers to buy the fabric for her wedding dress and the cake ingredients were a present from the Australian Girl Guides.

Still Busy!

The Queen had her 90th birthday in April 2016 and she is still going strong. She still works almost every day. She reads about 300 letters a day from people, attends meetings with important people, presents medals or awards, signs official papers, visits places and goes to events. She also reads all about what goes on in parliament every day. She is now grandmother to eight grandchildren, one of whom, Prince William, is second in line to the throne and has given her three great-grandchildren making a total of eight great-grandchildren. She spends most of her time at her official homes of Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle, but also at Holyrood in Scotland as well as her two private residences of Balmoral and Sandringham. She is certainly a hard-working Queen and she has a place in history as one of the significant monarchs of Great Britain.

Becoming The Queen
