When She Was Born (1958–1961)

Queen Elizabeth II, commonly called the "Queen Vic", was born in October 1941 at Kensington Palace, London, and has two older brothers, Captain Mark Phillips, and Prince Andrew. Her mother is Lady Diana Spencer (née Mountbatten). She is a descendant of King George V, who was descended from his wives' first three daughters, Charlotte of Wales, Alice of Batten burg, and Alexandra de York, though he was divorced in 1888. In 1952, Charles Phillips, then 14 years old, was born. He died on 30 July 1960. Princess Elizabeth II married Prince Philip on 29 May 1977 in Windsor Great Park, Berkshire, which they got before the wedding ceremony took place. They are the parents of Lady Alexandra de York, who was their daughter-in-law and later became the queen's consort, and their son Harry, who was only five days old when he died in 1990. After Phillip died in 1987, Queen Elizabeth was crowned again. The new King George VIII was an aristocrat. He had no heir and could not divorce.

Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth II was known as "The most elegant and charming lady in the world" but her reputation was tarnished by the events of the day she was born. For example, she was pregnant at the age of 18 and went to see a midwife in June 1956, only for it to take much longer than expected, to give birth to triplets Prince Edward, Sophie (then four months old), Lady Louise, and Nicholas in November September that year. There were rumors that she carried twins with both sons, but this was never confirmed until 1989. It was reported by the royal biographer Thomas Morton (in his book 'The Last Days of His Majesty') that Prince Edward Jr. was named after Earl Spencer (1898–1931), although there was another rumor at least 25 years ago that he should be named after William Henry Arthur Frederick Howard (1875–1946) who had been a private tutor in St. Paul's school in Oxford. Prince Edward came to Britain at seven or eight weeks old, so he may have been born around 1946. This royal family tree did not include Princess Anne and Kate Middleton. The princesses' children were not born until 1961. That year Charles Phillips was elected president of the United Nations and Elizabeth met Charles at Buckingham Palace on 7 March 1961. At one point, Charles said that if someone needed a bit more time then they should come to visit him. He invited them to meet him in his garden where he would talk about politics, business, and other matters. They ate cake and chocolates together. On 21 March 1961, Elizabeth gave birth to a baby boy, William Francis Edward Albert Edward Windsor Baroness Windsor, the eldest child of Duke of Clarence, and Duchess Margaret. However, since there was still controversy over who had given birth, Charles had to go home and do some work and decided to return to London on 24 March with the intention of becoming king and taking a wife. Unfortunately, he died on 20 April 1986 at the age of 60. In August 2012, Sir Tim Berners-Lee revealed he had become a grandmother and is looking forward to sharing his grandchildren. Meanwhile, the Queen has stepped down as monarch. Since 2020, her son and grandson are trying to be Queenies to help maintain a strong monarchy.

When She Used To Be Called Mary (1961–1981)

Elizabeth III, also known as Mary in English, was an unmarried woman. As a young girl, her father died suddenly when she was nine years of age, leaving her mother penniless. She was raised by her mother; when she was 13 years, she fell in love with the Lord Lieutenant of St. Helena. As a teenager, she met Prince Philip and developed close contact with other members of her family. At 16, she began traveling overseas to attend parties. In 1929 she married Louis Armstrong, the British soldier who won the 1928 Olympics by winning gold in the cross country. She went out for a walk near Hyde Park, London, at Christmas 1933. Then she fell into depression. During World War Two she started to receive letters from people claiming to be dead or severely ill. Later and more seriously, she suffered an illness and was admitted to the hospital in 1943. But soon after, she started feeling better and she wanted to go back to the military, to fight against fascism in Europe instead of staying in England to watch the war from afar. She left for Egypt instead, but at the end of 1940, she returned to Scotland to marry Scott Fraser while her husband stayed behind. Their honeymoon took place in Casablanca. She spent Christmas in Cairo.

When she heard that the Americans had invaded Iraq, she joined up with the rest of the Commonwealth and traveled to New York to join the American forces at Basra. Here, she faced many difficulties. Together with her husband Scott and fellow troops, they were attacked during Operation Dawnbreaker, a night attack that killed over 50 British soldiers. While fighting in the desert, her husband Scott died, and their young son Harry, only 5 weeks old, tragically died from pneumonia. By 1944 they had returned to London and started working for the government. Both Harry and Catherine were evacuated home. After their son died, all of the family suffered. They had to move apart. Only Harry, who had grown only 2½ inches taller than his mother, remained. When she died, they were in Cairo in Egypt. Her husband Scott died in 1975 after he fell off his horse while riding. Shortly after she died in 1981, she underwent surgery for lymphoma. She was only 72 and healthy enough to speak clearly.

When She Went Alone (1981–1989)

When she went alone on 10 August 1983, she fell into a deep depression. Because Charles was gone, no one had any reason to stay home while the Queen was away. Then, at 1 am, she woke up and left her house in No. 15 to travel to Paris. Her death would have happened on 3 December 1983, but her body was found a few hours later. Her body was found in a hotel room across town. It was taken from her home and put in storage facilities, but she had made several important speeches and public appearances, so it may have had something to do with her sudden decision to leave her home and leave the family to suffer without him or her again.

When She Died (1984–1989)

Elizabeth died in January 1984, at the age of 65, due to heart failure and being unable to conceive a child due to pregnancy. Her death occurred in Cairo, following an intensive 12-minute operation conducted by her doctor. In October 1984, she became a patron of Paddington Hospital near London. After her death, her husband Scott had taken the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Northern Ireland but this did nothing to prevent her death. The next month, the Queen went to court but died alone. When she died, she was an icon of the British monarchy. Her death caused huge damage to the entire world and people could not understand what she did for a living, her personal life, or her relationship with the royal family. Her marriage was now over, so there were rumors that she was going to start a new marriage. And even though Charles has already done everything, including divorcing Anne, there were rumors that she might try to get Charles back. People expected her to be happy. Her funeral had 6,000 attendants and thousands of journalists. A large number of visitors and participants included Prince Harry, Camilla Parker Bowles, and the Queen Mother herself. It was not only shocking to many but was almost too heartbreaking to handle. The Queen, however, was a very beautiful person and everyone could feel her kindness towards those who had lost their loved ones during the last couple of decades. She was kind and generous and genuinely wanted to get on with her life. Many people hoped and wished for her to live in peace, especially her son Prince Philip, and for future generations. One of the main questions over her death was whether or not she wanted to be buried next to her mum, who lived a quiet lifestyle in St. James's Palace. Some speculated that maybe Charles wanted to have as much space as possible in Westminster Abbey and be next to his mum. Others thought maybe it would create more space for Charles and his siblings to live separately and be able to reconnect with each other. Her final resting place was supposed to be along the River Thames next to The Cenotaph, where Charles stood during his training. It was supposed to look like this, as her coffin would float down the river on a custom-built boat. Prince Charles was reported to be very upset that his mother had not been buried alongside him. Prince Harry said he thought this made him feel so sad, which may have been a factor in why many felt that they wanted her to die next to her mother. But this was purely speculation. It was so long ago and there were so many details that weren't certain; the final arrangements were made years after her death. Yet this all changed when her youngest son Prince Harry died on 29 June 2017, leaving his mum Catherine after 19 years of marriage,

giving his mother one last farewell. In 2018 Charles finally announced that he will be leaving with Princess Beatrice and Prince Andrew to form a Royal Family. Even though Charles and her brother did not want to leave, the Queen told Charles to follow Prince Andrew's lead and make sure to spend as much time as possible in Scotland. So the current line will begin with Harry, who will be the oldest prince and his mother, and one who spent quite the majority of his life there and who is extremely close with Prince Charles, and then moves on to Beatrice, who is the second oldest
