The Monarch

Queen Elizabeth II was born on 21 April 1926 and ascended the throne in 1952 at the age of 25, following the death of her father, King George VI. She married Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in 1947, and together they had four children. Her reign spanned 70 years, making her the longest-serving monarch in British history. As Head of the Commonwealth, she fostered unity across diverse nations and remained a steadfast figure on the global stage. Her Majesty passed away on 8 September 2022, and was succeeded by her eldest son, King Charles III. In 2026, the world commemorates what would have been her 100th birthday - celebrating a life of service, dignity and devotion to her country and the Commonwealth.
