The real name of Elizabth II, born April 21, 1926, (her birthday is officially celebrated in Britain on the 3rd Saturday of June each
year), is Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor. She belongs to Britain's Royal House
(Family) of Windsor, and is the eldest daughter of George VI and Elizabeth
Bowes-Lyon, the Queen Mother, who is still living.As a child Elizabeth was nicknamed Lilibet - because that was the way she pronounced her
name. She was a serious, tidy little girl. When Elizabeth was 13 she met Prince Philip of Greece ( Philip
Mountbatten). He was 6 years older than her and came from the Greek royal
family, but also had relatives in Danish, British and Russian royal families. Elizabeth first saw him in the Navy during the Second World
War. Certainly at that time she was only a schoolgirl, but later they fell in love and in 1947 they got
married. The pair have four children: Charles, Prince of Wales, born in 1948, Anne , born in 1950, Andrew , born in 1960,and
Edward, born in 1964, and 6 grandchildren: Prince William of Wales, born June 21, 1982 - eldest son of Prince Charles; Prince Henry of Wales
(popularly referred to as Prince Harry), born Sept. 15, 1984 - youngest son of Prince Charles ; Princess Beatrice of
York, born Aug. 8, 1988 - eldest daughter of Prince Andrew; Princess Eugenie of
York, born March 23, 1990 - youngest daughter of Prince Andrew ; Peter Mark Andrew
Phillips, born Nov. 15, 1977 - son of Princess Anne; Zara Anne Elizabeth
Phillips, born May 15, 1981 - daughter of Princess Anne.
The Queen has several titles. In the United Kingdom her official title is:
"Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Her other Realms and Territories
Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith."
In Canada, where the Queen is the Head of State, her official title is "Elizabeth the
Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom, Canada and Her other Realms and Territories
Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith."
In common practice Queen Elizabeth II is referred to simply as "The Queen", to differentiate her from her
mother, who is called "Queen Elizabeth".
The Queen is one of the richest women in the world and yet she gets about 8 millions pounds a year to be
queen. But many people agree that she does her job well and deserves her
salary.
Olga Trampinskaya: ELIZABETH II (1926 - ) is the Queen of Great Britain
and the head of thr British Commonwealth of Nations. She became queen at the age of 25 on the death of her
father, George VI, on Feb. 6, 1952.
Windsor is the name of the present royal family of Great Britain. In 1960, Queen Elizabeth II announced that future
generations, except for princes
and princesses, will bear the surname Mountbatten-Windsor in honour of her
husband Philip Mountbatten. The name Windsor, adopted in1917, was taken from Windsor
Castle, a royal
residence. The new name was chosen to replace Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, abandoned during World War I because of its German
origin. Elizabeth was born in London on April 21, 1926 , when her parents were the
Duke and Duchess of York. Her mother was Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, daughter of the Earl of
Strathmore, of an ancient Scottish family. Elizabeth
was then third in succession to the throne. Her father became King George VI in 1936, after his
brother, Edward VIII, abdicated. So at the age of 10,
Elizabeth became heiress to the throne.
During World War II, Elizabeth served in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. She was given the Order of the
Garter, the highest order of British knighthood.
Elizabeth married Philip Mountbatten on Nov. 20, 1947. On Feb. 8, 1952, she was proclaimed
"by the Grace of God, Queen of this
realm and of her other realms and territories, head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the
Faith." Coronation ceremonies were held on June 2, 1953, in
Westminster Abbey.

Elizabeth II, full name Elizabeth Alexandra Mary (1926- ), queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (1952- ), daughter of King George
VI, born in London. In 1944 she served as a councillor of state while her father was on the war front in
Italy. She married Prince Philip, duke of Edinburgh, in 1947, and a year later gave birth to a
son, Charles. In 1950 she gave birth to a daughter, Anne. Elizabeth succeeded to the throne on the death of her father in February 1952. A second
son, Andrew, was born to Elizabeth in 1960 and a third, Edward, in 1964.
Elizabeth's reign has been marked by vast changes in the lives of her people and in the power and prestige of her
nation. By the early 1980s, some 40 former British colonies, protectorates, and mandate territories had been granted their
independence. Beginning in the mid-1950s, there was constant turmoil in Northern
Ireland. On the home front, the nation suffered economic difficulties after World War
II. Many industries were nationalized, and in 1973 Great Britain became a member of the European Economic
Community. Throughout this period Elizabeth's primary role was as a symbol of unity and continuity within the Commonwealth of
Nations; Elizabeth and her husband frequently visited the Commonwealth nations.
The royal family has also undergone changes during Elizabeth's reign. Since the 1980s the public has become much more informed about the lives of the royal family due to in-depth press
coverage. Two of Queen Elizabeth's sons, Prince Charles and Prince Andrew, separated from their wives in 1992; both separations occurred amid a flurry of international press
coverage. These separations were surrounded by accusations of infidelity and damaged the reputation of the royal
family. Also in 1992 the Queen and Prince Charles agreed to pay income taxes on their personal
income, the first time the monarchy has done so. The same year, part of Windsor Castle was seriously damaged by
fire. In 1993 Buckingham Palace was opened to tourists to help pay for the repairs at Windsor
Castle.
