The Queen's birthday: "Master of the Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleet"
This will be the first time in over 7 decades that Her Majesty the Queen will not have her husband, the late Prince Philip by her side for her 95th birthday. This year Her Majesty has decided not to release the traditional portrait of herself as the whole of the Royal family are still in mourning. Born on the 21st of April 1926, QUEEN Elizabeth II is the longest-reigning British monarch and the longest-reigning female monarch in world history.
April 21, 1926
Princess Elizabeth
Just six months after her thirteenth birthday, the world went to war. This determined teenager threw herself into the war effort and over her father’s objections, she even joined the armed forces and trained as a mechanic.
When war was declared on September 3, 1939, thirteen-year-old Elizabeth and her nine-year-old sister Margaret Rose were in Scotland with their parents, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. The King and Queen rushed off to Buckingham Palace in London, where they spent the remainder of the war.
Many British parents sent their children to another country. The royal couple considered sending the princesses to Canada for their own safety, but their mother famously said: “The children could not go without me, and I could not possibly leave the King, and the King will never leave.” So that was that.
Happy Best Possible Birthday to, Her Majesty the Queen.
