When her father died in February 1952, Queen Elizabeth became Commander-in-Chief of the Commonwealth, commanding regiments in seven Commonwealth countries: England, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan and Ceylon. Between 1956 and 1992, when the territory gained independence, the number of countries changed, including South Africa, Pakistan and Ceylon (renamed Sri Lanka) becoming republics. His appointments included a state visit to the Republic of Ireland and visits by five popes. Notable events include his coronation in 1953 and Silver Jubilee, Golden Jubilee and Diamond Jubilee in 1977, 2002 and 2012 respectively. She is Britain’s longest-reigning and longest-reigning monarch, as well as the world’s longest-reigning female head of state, longest-reigning monarch, longest-reigning monarch and longest-reigning head of state.
Elizabeth has occasionally faced republican sentiment and media criticism of the royal family, particularly after the breakdown of her children’s marriages to Annaeus Horribles and former daughter-in-law Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997. In Britain, however, support for the monarchy remains as high as personal popularity and has grown.
Elizabeth was born on April 21 (GMT). During the reign of his grandfather, King George V, his father, the Duke of York (later King George VI), was the king’s second son. His mother, the Duchess of York (later Queen Elizabeth), was the youngest daughter of Scottish noblemen, the Earl of Strathmore and King Horne. She was born by caesarean section at her grandfather’s home in London: Bruton Street, Mayfair.
Elizabeth’s only sister, Princess Margaret, was born in 1930. Both princesses were educated at home under the supervision of their mother and governess, Marion Crawford. Courses focus on history, language, literature and music. Crawford published The Little Princess in 1930, a biography of Elizabeth and Margaret’s childhood, to the consternation of the royal family. The book describes Elizabeth’s love for horses and dogs, sense of order and sense of responsibility.
