“I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.” -Queen Elizabeth II
On the eve of her 21st birthday in 1947, Princess Elizabeth made a vow to her nation that she would stand by for the rest of her life. Four years later on February 6, 1952, King George VI died in his sleep and the 25 year old Princess Elizabeth ascended the throne and became Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
Queen Elizabeth celebrated her Diamond Jubilee in 2012 and now, at approximately 5:30 pm on September 9, 2015, she will surpassed Queen Victoria and become Britain’s longest reigning monarch, a record which will unlikely ever be broken again. At 89 years of age, Queen Elizabeth continues to work daily, only ever having two days off a year- Christmas Day and Easter Sunday.
Congratulations, Your Majesty!
