Queen Elizabeth II was the leader of the United Kingdom who wore a shiny crown and ruled longer than any other British king or queen! She was queen for over seventy years, which is a really long time. She traveled all over the world to meet people and make friends with leaders from many countries. We remember her as a wonderful queen who spent her whole life helping her country!

When Elizabeth was a little girl, her family called her “Lilibet!” She loved riding horses and playing with her adorable dogs called corgis. She did not know she was going to be the queen one day, but life had a big surprise for her. During a big war, she put on a uniform and learned how to fix army trucks to help her country!
