Queen Elizabeth
Elizabeth was brought into the world in Mayfair, London, as the main offspring of the Duke and Duchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth). Her dad agreed to the high position in 1936 upon the relinquishment of his sibling, King Edward VIII, making Elizabeth the main successor possible. She was taught secretly at home and started to embrace public obligations during the Second World War, serving in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. In November 1947, she wedded Philip Mountbatten, a previous sovereign of Greece and Denmark, and their marriage endured 73 years until Philip's passing in 2021. They had four youngsters: Charles, Prince of Wales; Anne, Princess Royal; Prince Andrew, Duke of York; and Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex.
At the point when her dad kicked the bucket in February 1952, Elizabeth — then, at that point, 25 years of age — became sovereign regnant of seven free Commonwealth nations: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, and Ceylon, as well as Head of the Commonwealth. Elizabeth has ruled as an established ruler through major political changes like the Troubles in Northern Ireland, devolution in the United Kingdom, the decolonisation of Africa, and the United Kingdom's promotion to the European Communities and withdrawal from the European Union. The quantity of her domains has shifted over the long haul as regions have acquired autonomy, and as certain domains have become republics. Her numerous memorable visits and gatherings incorporate state visits to the People's Republic of China in 1986, the Russian Federation in 1994, the Republic of Ireland in 2011, and visits to or from five popes.
Critical occasions have remembered Elizabeth's crowning ordinance for 1953 and the festivals of her Silver, Golden, Diamond and Platinum celebrations in 1977, 2002, 2012, and 2022, separately. Elizabeth is the longest-lived and longest-ruling British ruler, the most seasoned and longest-serving occupant head of state, and the second-longest reigning sovereign ruler in world history. She has confronted periodic conservative opinion and press analysis of the illustrious family, especially after the breakdown of her youngsters' relationships, her annus horribilis in 1992, and the passing in 1997 of her previous girl in-regulation Diana, Princess of Wales. Notwithstanding, support for the government in the United Kingdom has been and stays high, as does her own fame.
