The Dawn of an Era (21 April 1926- 8 September 2022)
Queen Elizabeth II - The Dawn Of An Era

Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, officially Elizabeth II, was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of other realms and territories, Head of the Commonwealth and Defender of the Faith, since February 6 1952. The news of her demise came as a shock to everyone from around the world. The Queen died on September 8, 2022, at the age of 96. She is the longest reigning Monarch in British history. The entire world is mourning with great admiration for her perseverance towards her royal commitments.

Elizabeth was born to Prince Albert, duke of York and his wife, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, on April 21, 1926. As the child of a younger son of King George V, young Elizabeth had little chances of ascending the throne. In 1936, when her uncle, Edward VIII, abdicated in her father's favour, her father became King George VI. The princess's education was supervised by her mother, who entrusted her daughters to a governess, Marion Crawford. She was also grounded in history by C.H.K. Marten, provost of Eton College.

When her father, King George VI passed away in 1951, Elizabeth was crowned the Queen a year later, just at the age of 25. During World War II, She and her sister, Princess Margaret Rose, perforce spent much of their time safely away from the London blitz and separated from their parents, living mostly at Balmoral Castle in Scotland and the Royal Lodge, Windsor, and Windsor Castle.
