Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; born 21 April 1926) is the
constitutional monarch
of 16
sovereign states
,

known
as the
Commonwealth realms
, and their territories and
dependencies, and head of the 54-member
Commonwealth of Nations
. She is
Supreme Governor of the Church of England
and,
in some of her realms, carries the title of
Defender of the Faith
as part of her full
title.

On her accession on 6 February 1952, Elizabeth became
Head of the Commonwealth
and
queen regnant
of seven independent Commonwealth
countries: the
United Kingdom
,
Canada
,
Australia
,
New Zealand
,
South Africa
,
Pakistan
and
Ceylon
. From 1956 to 1992, the number of her
realms varied as territories gained independence and some realms became
republics. At present, in addition to the first four aforementioned countries,
Elizabeth is Queen of
Jamaica
,
Barbados
,
the Bahamas
,
Grenada
,
Papua New Guinea
, the
Solomon Islands
,
Tuvalu
,
Saint Lucia
,
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
,
Belize
,
Antigua and Barbuda
and
Saint Kitts and Nevis
. Her reign of 61 years is
currently the
second longest for a British monarch
; only
Queen Victoria
has reigned longer at over 63
years.

Elizabeth was born in London and educated privately at home. Her father
acceded to the throne as
George VI
in 1936 on the
abdication
of his brother
Edward VIII
, from which time she was the
heir presumptive
. She began to undertake public
duties during the
Second World War
, in which she served in the
Auxiliary Territorial Service
. In 1947, she
married
Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh
, with whom she
has four children:
Charles
,
Anne
,
Andrew
, and
Edward
. Her
coronation service
took place in 1953 and was
the first to be televised.

The Queen’s many historic visits and meetings include a
state visit to the Republic of Ireland
and
reciprocal visits to and from the
Pope
. The Queen has seen major constitutional
changes in her realms, such as
devolution in the United Kingdom
and the
patriation
of the Canadian constitution. Times
of personal significance have included the births and marriages of her children,
the births of her grandchildren, the
investiture of the Prince of Wales
, and the
celebration of milestones such as her
Silver
,
Golden
, and
Diamond Jubilees
in 1977, 2002, and 2012,
respectively.

Major events in the Queen’s reign have included
the Troubles
in
Northern Ireland
, the
Falklands War
, wars with
Iraq
and the
War in Afghanistan
. There have been times of
personal sorrow for her which include the death of her father at 56, the
assassination of Prince Philip’s uncle,
Lord Mountbatten
, the breakdown of her
children’s marriages in 1992 (a year deemed her
annus horribilis
), the death in 1997 of her
former daughter-in-law,
Diana, Princess of Wales
, and the deaths of her
mother
and
sister
in 2002. The Queen has occasionally
faced severe press criticism of the
royal family
and republican sentiments, but
support for the monarchy and her personal popularity remain high.
