Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor was born in Mayfair, London.
On April 21, 1926, Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor was born to the Duke and Duchess of York, later known as King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. Her birth, at 17 Bruton Street, marked the beginning of a life destined for monumental significance in British and world history. Initially third in line to the throne, her ascension was unexpected; the abdication of her uncle necessitated her new role, shaping her upbringing and education toward leadership. It laid the foundation for a symbiotic relationship with both the British public and the Commonwealth that she would nurture for over 70 years.
