Little Elizabeth loved dogs and horses and dreamt of living on a farm.
But, one day, she heard chants on the streets. Her uncle Edward had renounced the crown, which meant her father would be the next king, and she heiress to the throne.
From that day on, she had to learn how to one day be the queen. When she was only 13, World War Two broke out across the globe.

In 1952, she was crowned Queen of the United Kingdom, and for the next 70 years she would serve as a beacon of continuity, looking after her subjects and serving the country she reigned over.
