Obituary: Queen Elizabeth II
The long reign of Queen Elizabeth II was marked by her strong sense of duty and her
determination to dedicate her life to her throne and to her people.
She became for many the one constant point in a rapidly changing world as British influence
declined, society changed beyond recognition and the role of the monarchy itself came into
question.
Her success in maintaining the monarchy through such turbulent times was even more
remarkable given that, at the time of her birth, no-one could have foreseen that the throne
would be her destiny.
Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor was born on 21 April 1926, in a house just off Berkeley
Square in London, the first child of Albert, Duke of York, second son of George V, and his
duchess, the former Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon.
Both Elizabeth and her sister, Margaret Rose, who was born in 1930, were educated at home
and brought up in a loving family atmosphere. Elizabeth was extremely close to both her
father and her grandfather, George V.
At the age of six, Elizabeth told her riding instructor that she wanted to become a "country
lady with lots of horses and dogs".
She was said to have shown a remarkable sense of responsibility from a very early age.
Winston Churchill, the future prime minister, was quoted as saying that she possessed "an air
of authority that was astonishing in an infant".
Despite not attending school, Elizabeth proved adept at languages and made a detailed study
of constitutional history.
A special Girl Guides company, the 1st Buckingham Palace, was formed so that she could
socialise with girls of her own age.
Increasing tension
On the death of George V in 1936, his eldest son, known as David, became Edward VIII.
However, his choice of wife, the twice-divorced American Wallis Simpson, was deemed to be
unacceptable on political and religious grounds. At the end of the year he abdicated.
A reluctant Duke of York became King George VI. His Coronation gave Elizabeth a foretaste
of what lay in store for her and she later wrote that she had found the service "very, very
wonderful".
