Elizabeth Alexandra

 

Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; 21 April 1926 - 8 September 2022) was Sovereign of the Assembled Realm and other Federation domains from 6 February 1952 until her passing in 2022. She was sovereign regnant of 32 sovereign states during her lifetime and 15 at the hour of her death.[b] Her rule of 70 years and 214 days is the longest of any English ruler, the longest recorded of any female head of state ever, and the second-longest checked reign of any sovereign ever.

Elizabeth was brought into the world in Mayfair, London, as the main offspring of the Duke and Duchess of York (later Ruler George VI and Sovereign Elizabeth). Her dad agreed to the lofty position in 1936 upon the surrender of his sibling, Lord Edward VIII, making Elizabeth the successor hypothetical. She was taught secretly at home and started to embrace public obligations during WWII, serving in the Helper Regional Assistance. In November 1947, she wedded Philip Mountbatten, a previous ruler of Greece and Denmark, and their marriage endured 73 years until his passing in 2021. They had four kids: Charles, Anne, Andrew, and Edward.

At the point when her dad kicked the bucket in February 1952, Elizabeth — then, at that point, 25 years of age — became sovereign of seven free Region nations: the Unified Realm, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, and Ceylon (referred to the present time as Sri Lanka), as well as Top of the Ward. Elizabeth ruled as a protected ruler through major political changes like the Difficulties in Northern Ireland, devolution in the Unified Realm, the decolonisation of Africa, and the Unified Realm's promotion to the European People group and withdrawal from the European Association. The quantity of her domains differed after some time as regions acquired autonomy and a few domains became republics. Her numerous noteworthy visits and gatherings incorporate state visits to China in 1986, Russia in 1994, and the Republic of Ireland in 2011, and gatherings with five popes.

Critical occasions remember Elizabeth's crowning liturgy for 1953 and the festivals of her Silver, Brilliant, Jewel, and Platinum celebrations in 1977, 2002, 2012, and 2022, separately. She confronted periodic conservative opinion and media analysis of her family, especially after the breakdowns of her youngsters' relationships, her annus horribilis in 1992, and the passing of her previous little girl in-regulation Diana, Princess of Ribs, in 1997. She was served by in excess of 170 top state leaders across her domains. All through her lifetime, support for the government in the Unified Realm remained reliably high, as did her own popularity.[1] Elizabeth kicked the bucket matured 96 at Balmoral Palace, Aberdeenshire, on 8 September 2022, and was prevailed by her oldest child, Charles III.
