Celebrating Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s 80th Birthday
Born on April 21, 1926, Princess Elizabeth became heir presumptive at just 10 years old. Preparing for her future role from a young age, her official duties steadily grew throughout her teens. When King George VI’s health began to decline in 1951, the young princess stepped up to assume many of his responsibilities. By her accession at age 26, Princess Elizabeth was already a seasoned public servant, who went on to become one of the world's most respected monarchs.
