Remembering Queen Elizabeth II

"On 21 April 1926, a princess was born in Mayfair, London. Named Elizabeth after her mother, she was third in line to the throne, but expected to be pushed further down the line of succession when her uncle had his own children. She would have no such luck. Queen Elizabeth Il ascended the throne in 1952 after the death of her adored father. Her uncle had abdicated almost 20 years beforehand, disgraced and childless. Regardless, she would rise to the occasion, celebrating jubilee after jubilee and managing the expectations of her and her family. In this touching tribute to mark what would have been her 100th birthday, join us as we look back at some of the key moments from her reign and personal life, and explore the remarkable woman who ruled over generations of her subjects. From her worst year - or 'annus horribilis’ - to her triumphs and joy, we remember a queen who devoted herself to her country and the people within it."
