Queen Elizabeth the Second Died Yesterday 

Queen Elizabeth the Second died yesterday at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. She was 96 years old.

 

 

Her son Charles . . . who is now King Charles the Third, said, quote, "The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty the Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family."

 

 

Elizabeth held the throne for 70 years, making her the longest-serving female head of state in HISTORY. She was also the longest-reigning British monarch ever. She assumed the throne in February of 1952, at the age of 25.

 

 

Her coronation in 1953 was televised . . . at her insistence . . . and was seen by 277 million people around the world. Some credit it with making TV a mainstream medium.

 

 

Despite being a princess, Elizabeth worked as a mechanic during World War 2.

Besides Charles, she had three other children:  Princess Anne, and Prince Edward, and the one they don't talk about anymore, Prince Andrew.

So at 73, Charles is finally king. He'll deliver a televised address today. His wife Camilla Parker Bowles now carries the official title of Queen Consort.
