  • Introduction

    Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor was the first child of the Duke of York (later King George VI) and the Duchess of York, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (later Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother). She served as Queen of England after her father, George VI, died in 1952, serving until she died on September 8th 2022. Her reign was 70 years and 7 months, the longest of any monarch of Great Britain. Elizabeth had one sister, Margaret (1930 - 2002), later the Countess of Snowdon. Queen Elizabeth II, as she was officially known, married Philip Mountbatten, Duke of Edinburgh (1921 - 2021) in 1947, before she became Queen. Prince Philip's father was Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark, and his mother was Princess Alice of Battenberg. They had 4 children: Charles, who is now the King Charles III of the United Kingdom, Anne, Princess Royal, Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex.

  • Ethnicity & Family History

    Queen Elizabeth was Caucasian, having German, Scottish, and English heritage. Through her paternal lineage, Elizabeth descends from the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, which originated in Germany. Her maternal grandmother was a member of the Scottish nobility, the Bowes-Lyon family. Several other lines in her ancestry were English nobility, including the Plantagenets and Tudors. More distant ancestry includes French royalty from various dynasties. Her father, King George VI, was the second son of King George V and Queen Mary, so her lineage traces back to several European royal families over the centuries. Elizabeth's paternal grandparents, George V & Queen Mary, reigned through World War I and the early 20th century.

  • Nationality & Locations

    Queen Elizabeth II was born in London, England and died in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. She was Queen of England and lived in Great Britain her entire life but traveled the world. Her family owns over 30 properties including Buckingham Palace, St. James's Palace, Clarence House, Kensington Palace, Ivy Cottage, Wren House and Nottingham Cottage, Windsor Castle, Fort Belvedere, Balmoral Castle, Birkhall, Craigowan Lodge, Sandringham House, The Castle of Mey, Hampton Court Palace, The Old Royal Palace of Hatfield, Barnwell Manor, Dumfries House, Thatched House Lodge, Frogmore House, Frogmore Cottage, The Royal Lodge, and many more.

  • Early Life & Education

    In her early years, Elizabeth was educated at home. She was given a basic education, which included languages like French and German, and special subjects like music. There was also a particular focus on English literature and history. Born in 1926 as Princess Elizabeth, she never expected to be Queen. Her life changed dramatically in 1936 when her uncle Edward VIII abdicated, making her father King George VI and her heir presumptive. She had a close relationship with her parents and younger sister, Princess Margaret. Their family life was relatively quiet until her father's ascension to the throne.
