Queen Elizabeth II (1952 - 2022)​

• House of Windsor Family Tree
• Royal Family of Elizabeth II
• Detailed Tree
• Timeline 1952 - 2022

Name: Queen Elizabeth II
Full Name: Elizabeth Alexandra Mary
Born: April 21, 1926 at 17, Bruton Street, London
Parents: George VI and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon
House of: Windsor
Ascended to the throne: February 6, 1952 aged 25 years
Crowned: June 2, 1953 at Westminster Abbey
Married: Philip Mountbatten
Children: Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward
Died: September 8, 2022 at Balmoral, Scotland, aged 96 years, 4 months, and 18 days
Reigned for:70 years, 7 months, and 1 day

Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary was born in London on 21 April 1926; she was educated privately, and assumed official duties at 16. During World War II she served in the Auxiliary Territorial Service, and by an amendment to the Regency Act she became a state counsellor on her 18th birthday. On the death of George VI in 1952 she succeeded to the throne while in Kenya with her husband and was crowned on 2 June 1953.

The 70 year reign of Queen Elizabeth II from 1952 to 2022 spanned a period of rapid and occasionally turbulent change. Britain’s position in the world, her economy, and the very shape and structures of society were all transformed and many traditional institutions have suffered in the process. Through all this, the path of the Crown was marked out by The Queen herself, in a prolonged display of unwavering devotion to Duty and quiet pragmatism which met a nationally-felt need, and won her the respect and affection of her peoples.

As hereditary head of State for Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and Head of the Commonwealth, she had symbolic and formal functions and duties but no direct powers. She was an embodiment of national identity and continuity and with her family performed countless formalities to mark events in the lives of individuals and communities and provided valuable patronage for innumerable charities. The Commonwealth of Nations was particularly close to her heart and she and her husband Philip undertook many state visits overseas.

Her reign was the longest ever of a British monarch. She was married to her husband Prince Philip for 73 years until his death aged 99 on 9th April 2021. The Queen was head of a large family, and she had 4 children, 8 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. The Royal Family suffered its share of divorces, controversy, and tragedy including the death of Princess Diana in a car crash in Paris, and relentless intrusion by the world's press into their lives. Under the Queens guidance the institution of the monarchy has been through evolutionary change and she was a deeply loved and admired figure at the time of her death aged 96 at Balmoral, Scotland, on 8th September 2022. She has been succeeded by her son King Charles III.

Joe Biden arrives in London for Queen's funeral​

US President Joe Biden has arrived in London ahead of the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II on Monday.

Mr Biden is among some 500 heads of state and foreign dignitaries coming to London for a gathering of world leaders not seen for decades.

The prime ministers of Canada, Australia and New Zealand are already in the UK.

Controversy surrounds some of the guests invited, such as Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.

As well as Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, other Commonwealth leaders expected to attend include Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe. India will be represented by President Droupadi Murmu.

French President Emmanuel Macron, Irish Taoiseach Micheal Martin, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Italian President Sergio Mattarella are among the other world leaders expected to attend.
Members of royal families from across Europe will also be present.

Many of the guests are expected to pay their respects to the Queen at her lying-in-state in Westminster Hall and sign a book of condolence at Lancaster House.

But the focus will be a formal state reception hosted by King Charles III at Buckingham Palace on Sunday.

For many leaders, it will be their only chance to meet collectively and engage in some diplomacy.

Some of the guests invited to attend the funeral have, however, raised eyebrows.

The extension of an invitation to Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince and de facto ruler Mohammed Bin Salman (known as MBS) has proved controversial.

He is accused of ordering the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul, Turkey in 2018 - an accusation the Crown Prince and his government deny.

The fiancée of Mr Khashoggi, Hatice Gengiz, said he should not be allowed to attend the event and that it was a stain on the memory of the Queen.

Another invitation which has led to criticism is that for China's President Xi Jinping, due to accusations of crimes against humanity levelled at the Chinese government.

But it will not be President Xi attending the funeral. Instead, Vice President Wang Qishan will travel to the UK.

Representatives from Russia, Belarus, Myanmar, Syria, Venezuela and Afghanistan have not been invited.

Iran, North Korea (DPRK) and Nicaragua have only been invited to send ambassadors, rather than heads of state.
