Bio:
Queen Elizabeth (born Elizabeth Alexandra Mary on April 21, 1926 in Mayfair, London, England) was the Queen of England. She was born while her grandfather, King George V, was on the throne, and she was third in succession behind her uncle, Prince Edward and father, Prince Albert (later King George VI). Edward abdicated the same year he became king, so Prince Albert took the throne, putting Elizabeth II as first in line. She started taking on her first public duties during the Second World War when she was just a teenager, and began standing in for her ill father at events in the early 50s. She became Queen after King George V’s death in 1952, with her official coronation taking place June 2, 1953. In Sept. 2015, she officially became the longest reigning British monarch after serving 23,226 days on the throne. She passed away on September 8, 2022, at the age of 96. Her death led to her son, Charles III, becoming king, making Prince William the next in line for succession, followed by William and Kate Middleton’s three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—then his brother Prince Harry and his two children, Archie and Lilibet, whom he shares with Meghan Markle.
