Here are just a few examples of the moments you will be able to celebrate and reflect upon:
1945 – Serving Her Country
As World War II neared its end, Princess Elizabeth defied expectations by joining the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS), becoming the first female member of the royal family to serve in the armed forces. At just 18 years old, she trained as a driver and mechanic, showcasing her dedication to duty and service—qualities that would define her reign.
1948 – Birth of Her First Child, Charles
In 1948, Princess Elizabeth welcomed her first child, Charles, into the world. This moment was particularly significant as it marked the beginning of the next generation of the royal family. Born on 14 November 1948, Charles would go on to play an important role throughout Queen Elizabeth II’s reign, eventually succeeding her as King Charles III. This personal milestone for the young princess was shared with the nation that celebrated the birth of a future monarch.
1953 – Her Majesty’s Coronation
In a moment of grandeur, the young Elizabeth was crowned Queen in Westminster Abbey on 2 June 1953. This iconic event, which was the first coronation ever televised, allowed millions to witness the solemn and deeply symbolic ceremony. It marked the beginning of her historic reign and the new Elizabethan age.
1977 – The Silver Jubilee
Celebrating 25 years as Queen, Her Majesty’s Silver Jubilee in 1977 was a nationwide celebration filled with parades, street parties, and festivities. The world watched as she reaffirmed her commitment to the nation, capturing the essence of loyalty, dedication, and continuity.
2003 – A Shared Laugh
Even in her later years, Queen Elizabeth II had moments that revealed her playful side. During an event in 2003, the Queen was caught giggling as Prince Philip stood in his Grenadier Guards uniform. It was a rare and intimate moment, demonstrating her deep affection for her husband and her ability to find joy in everyday moments.
2022 – The Platinum Jubilee
Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee was a historic occasion, marking 70 years on the throne—a milestone unmatched by any other British monarch. As the country celebrated her reign, the Queen’s legacy of resilience, grace, and leadership was recognised and admired across the globe.
