Elizabeth Alexandra Mary (April 21, 1926 - September 8, 2022) was Queen of the United Kingdom and 15 other Commonwealth realms. Elizabeth was born in Mayfair, London, as the first child of the Duke and Duchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth). Her father ascended the throne in 1936 upon the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, making Elizabeth the heir presumptive. She was educated privately at home and began to undertake public duties during the Second World War, serving in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. In November 1947, she married Philip Mountbatten, a former prince of Greece and Denmark, with whom she had four children: Charles, Prince of Wales; Anne, Princess Royal; Prince Andrew, Duke of York; and Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex. When her father died in February 1952, Elizabeth-then 25 years old-became queen regnant of seven independent Commonwealth countries: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, and Ceylon, as well as Head of the Commonwealth. On April 9, 2021, after over 73 years of marriage, her husband, Prince Philip, died at the age of 99. Elizabeth died almost a year and a half later, on September 8, 2022 at Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire, at the age of 96, and was succeeded by her eldest child, King Charles Ill. Her state funeral was the first to be held in the United Kingdom since that of Winston Churchill in 1965. Queen Elizabeth Il was the longest-lived and longest-reigning British monarch, the longest-serving female head of state in history, and the oldest and longest-serving incumbent head of state. Her reign of 70 years and 214 days was the longest verified reign of any female monarch in history. Share Like Subscribe ​⁠​⁠​⁠@GLITZ- Thank you for watching.
