The Hanoverian succession came about as a result of the Act of Settlement 1701,
passed by the Parliament of England. In return for access to the English plantations in
North America, the Hanoverian succession and the Union were ratified by the Parliament
of Scotland in 1707. After the death of Anne with no living children, George I, the son of
Sophia of Hanover, granddaughter of James VI of Scotland and I of England through his
daughter Elizabeth of Bohemia, was the closest Protestant heir to the throne.

‘I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted
to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.’ –
Queen Elizabeth II

‘I cannot lead you into battle. I do not give you laws or administer justice but I can do
something else - I can give my heart and my devotion to these old islands and to all the
people of our brotherhood of nations.’ – Queen Elizabeth II.

Name: Queen Elizabeth II

Full Name: Elizabeth Alexandra Mary
Born: April 21, 1926 at 17, Bruton Street, London
Parents: George VI and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon
House of: Windsor
Ascended to the throne: February 6, 1952 aged 25 years
Crowned: June 2, 1953 at Westminster Abbey
Married: Philip Mountbatten
Children: Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward
Current Age: 85 years
She has Reigned for: 58 years
 Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary was born in London on 21 April 1926; she
was educated privately, and assumed official duties at 16. During World War II she served
in the Auxiliary Territorial Service, and by an amendment to the Regency Act she became
a state counselor on her 18th birthday. On the death of George VI in 1952 she succeeded
to the throne while in Kenya with her husband and was crowned on 2 June 1953.
The reign of Queen Elizabeth II since 1952 has spanned a period of rapid and
occasionally turbulent change. Britain’s position in the world, her economy, and the very
shape and structures of society have all been transformed and many traditional
institutions have suffered in the process. Through all this, the path of the Crown has been
marked out by The Queen herself, in a prolonged display of unwavering devotion to Duty
and quiet pragmatism which has met a nationally-felt need, and has won her the respect
and affection of her peoples. As hereditary head of State for Great Britain and Northern
Ireland, and Head of the Commonwealth, she has symbolic and formal functions and
duties but no direct powers. She is an embodiment of national identity and continuity and,
with her family, performs countless formalities to mark events in the lives of individuals
and communities and provides valuable patronage for innumerable charities.
Supported by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, to whom she was married on 20
November 1947, The Queen is head of a large family. The first child of the royal
marriage and the current heir to the throne is Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, who
was born on 14 November 1948 and was invested as Prince of Wales at Caernarvon
Castle on 1 July 1969. He married Lady Diana Spencer (Princess Diana) on 29 July 1981;
two sons were born to the marriage, Prince William, born 21 June 1982 and Prince Henry
(Harry), born 15 September 1984. However, the marriage broke down and a divorce
followed. These troubles, together with the divorces of Princess Anne and the Duke of
York, were seen by some to diminish the monarchy in public esteem. The death of Diana,
Princess of Wales on 31 August 1997 in a car crash in Paris unleashed a wave of hysteria
stirred up by the media, and the family had to suffer relentless intrusion by the world's
press into their lives.
Elizabeth II is now the longest reigning British monarch since Queen Victoria,
and The Queen’s Golden Jubilee in 2002 was celebrated with enthusiasm and displays of
loyalty. The Prince of Wales, after suffering a period of unpopularity, has shown
resilience and willingness to meet the public half-way in its new mood. His long-
established concern for the disadvantaged sections of society, and support of a ‘green’
environmental issues, has enabled him to meet on common ground many who might be
put off by grandeur and pomp, while his evident devotion to his two sons Prince William
and Prince Harry has won him a real measure of respect. Initially unpopular his wife
Camilla has shown herself to be capable in her support. Prince Charles’s willingness to
accept change is also reflected in the institution of the monarchy. This has altered
significantly in recent times with The Queen’s decision to pay tax, changes being made to
the Civil List, and the opening of Buckingham Palace to the public to help fund the
restoration of Windsor Castle. Debate about the future of the monarchy continues, but the
Royal Family has shown itself willing to contemplate evolutionary change, and the
Crown of Britain has entered the second decade of the twenty-first century with renewed
vigour and fresh purpose. Planning is in place for 2012 to celebrate both the Olympics in
Britain and the Diamond Jubilee of the Queen’s 60 years on the throne.
 Queen Elizabeth II became Queen of the United Kingdom and Head of the
Commonwealth on February 6, 1952. She is head of the British Royal Family, has 4
children, 8 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild. She is the 32nd great-granddaughter of
King Alfred the Great who was the first effective King of England 871-899. On 21st
December 2007 she became the oldest reigning British monarch having outlived her
great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria who died 22nd January 1901 aged 81 years. On
12th May 2011 Queen Elizabeth II became the 2nd longest reigning monarch in over
1,200 years of British History. She will have to reign until 10th Sept 2015 when she will
be 89 years old to reign longer than her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria who
reigned for 63 years and 216 days from 1837-1901. See British Kings & Queens by
Length of Reign.

Her eldest son Prince Charles will be 62 years old on 14th November 2011. The
Queen's husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, is 90 years old and celebrated his
90th birthday on 10th June 2011. He is the longest ever serving Royal Consort. On 29th
April 2011 the Queen's grandson Prince William, who is 2nd in line to the throne, married
Catherine (Kate) Middleton in Westminster Abbey. They are now the Duke and Duchess
of Cambridge. Elizabeth II is Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland, and Head of the Commonwealth of Nations. Great Britain was formed
304 years ago by the Act of Union between England and Scotland on 1st April 1707.

As well as the United Kingdom, she is Queen of Canada, Australia, New Zealand,
Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands,
Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, and
Saint Kitts and Nevis, where she is represented by Governors-General. The sixteen
countries of which she is Queen are known as Commonwealth Realms, and their
combined population is 134 million. She is Head of the Commonwealth of Nations
comprising 54 member states in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and
Oceania. The aims of the Commonwealth include the promotion of democracy, human
rights, good governance, the rule of law, individual liberty, egalitarianism, free trade,
multilateralism, and world peace. The 2.1 billion people in the member states account for
almost a third of the current world population.

Her reign of over more than half a century has seen 12 Prime Ministers of the
United Kingdom, and numerous Prime Ministers in the Commonwealth Realms of which
she is (or was) also Head of State; between them she has had a total of 140 Prime
Ministers during her reign. There have been 12 US Presidents during her reign.
