Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II In 2022 the world celebrates the 70th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the British Throne. Princess Elizabeth was born on April 21, 1926. She was just ten years old when she unexpectedly became heir presumptive to the throne, when her father, Bertie, became King George VI upon his older brother Edward VIII's abdication. Almost immediately, the young Elizabeth began to prepare for her future role; her official duties grew steadily throughout her teens. When George VI's health began to deteriorate in 1951, the young princess readily assumed many of the her father's responsibilities. George VI died suddenly in his sleep on February 6, 1952, when Elizabeth was on an official state visit to Kenya, then a British colony. She immediately acceded to the throne, becoming the first British monarch in over 200 years to do so while abroad. The new Queen Elizabeth went into her official period of mourning, then was crowned at Westminster Abbey at the relatively young age of twenty-six on June 2, 1953. By this time she was a seasoned public figure, her years of service a strong indicator of what the Commonwealth could expect of its new queen. Today about 128 million people live in the 16 countries of which she is head of state. Today, as she enters her the seventh decade of her reign, Queen Elizabeth II is arguably the world's most popular and best-known monarch. She is currently the longest-serving head of state in the world, and the longest-serving British or English monarch in history. Her reign of nearly three-quarters of a century has seen fourteen different Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom. For over 70 years, she has served the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland as well as the British Commonwealth, which includes Australia, Canada and more than thirty other countries.
