Her Majesty The QueenElizabeth II
The Queen is Head of State of the
UK and 15 other 
Commonwealth realms. 
The elder daughter of King George VI
 and Queen Elizabeth, 
she was born in 1926 and became 
Queen at the age of 25, and has 
reigned through more than five 
decades of enormous social change 
A nd development. 
  The Queen is 
 married to Prince Philip, 
 Duke of Edinburgh and has 
 four children and eight 
 grandchildren. 

The Queen was born at 
2.40am on
 21 April 1926 at 17 Bruton
 Street in Mayfair, London.
She was the first child of
 The Duke and Duchess of York,
 who later became King George
 VI and Queen Elizabeth.
At the time she stood third in
 line of succession to the throne
 after Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII),
 and her father, The Duke of York.
        But it was not expected that her father would become King, or that she would become Queen.













Princess Elizabeth was educated at home with Princess Margaret, her younger sister.
After her father succeeded to the throne in 1936 and she became heir presumptive, she started to study constitutional history and law as preparation for her future role. She received tuition from her father, as well as sessions with Henry Marten, the Vice-Provost of Eton. She was also instructed in religion by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Princess Elizabeth also learned French from a number of French and Belgian governesses. It is a skill which has stood The Queen in good stead, as she often has cause to use it when speaking to ambassadors and heads of state from French-speaking countries, and when visiting French-speaking areas of Canada.
Princess Elizabeth also studied art and music, learned to ride, and became a strong swimmer. She won the Children's Challenge Shield at London's Bath Club when she was thirteen.

An animal lover since childhood, The Queen takes a keen and highly knowledgeable interest in horses.Other interests include walking in the countryside and working her Labradors, which were bred at Sandringham.
A lesser known interest is 
Scottish country dancing.
 Each year during her stay 
at Balmoral Castle, The Queen
 gives dances known as 
Gillies' Balls, 
for neighbours, 
estate and Castle
 staff and 
members of the
 local community.

An important part of the work of 
The Queen is to support and encourage public and voluntary service.
One of the ways in which Her Majesty does this is through involvement with
 charities and other
 organisations.
The Queen has over
 600 patronages.
These cover every area of the
 charity and voluntary sector,
 from opportunities for young people,
 to preservation of wildlife and
 the environment.
Involvement with these organisations helps
 to recognise their achievements, 
and helps to recognise the contributions of many different sectors of public life. 

The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary on     20 November 2011.
They have four
 children, eight
 grandchildren
 and three 
great-grandchildren..



Family life has been an essential support to The Queen throughout her reign. The family usually spends Christmas together at Sandringham  in Norfolk, attending church on Christmas Day. And in the summer of 2006, The Queen celebrated her 80th birthday by taking a cruise with all her family through the Western Isles of Scotland.

The queen marks her birthday  twice a year:  privately on the  actual birthday which  is on the 21st April
and officially  with the "Trooping  the Colour" ceremony held in June, when the weather is better.
