Queen Elizabeth II Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor The Queen was born at 2.40 am 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. 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.

The couple, who had known each other for many years, were married in Westminster Abbey on 20 November 1947.

They spent their honeymoon at Broadlands, Hampshire, the home of Lord Mountbatten, and at Birkhall, Balmoral. They have four children, and eight grandchildren Interests 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.
