Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II Biography
On April 21, 1926, at 2.40 a.m., Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, a member of the House of Windsor, was born. The Caesarean section was used to birth her.
She would have been a member of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha if she had been born a decade earlier.
However, George V was inspired to alter the family name to Windsor because of anti-German sentiment during the First World War.
Elizabeth, along with her younger sister, received a home education. Their beloved governess, Marion Crawford, or Crawfie as she became known, taught them many of the subjects.
The governess gave the royal daughters her undivided attention and even organized a pack of guides for them so they could interact with kids their own age.
She had been hand-picked by the Queen Mother and appeared to have the same disregard for academics as the royal household.
Instead, Crawfie made sure that her charges saw some aspects of ordinary life that other girls their age would encounter, to the extent that she could (which wasn't particularly far).
This includes a trip to London Zoo and a ride on the London Underground.
Crawfie remained a confidante for the girls as they grew into adulthood. She remained close to the girls despite being married, having a meager pension, and owning a cottage.
Elizabeth and Margaret frequently paid their former governess a visit.
Elizabeth, who had just gotten married, once unexpectedly showed up at the cottage with Philip in tow. Philip fixed the faulty boiler in the home as Crawfie hurriedly made a pot of tea.
The former governess was convinced to write a book on her time spent with the royal princesses, but things took a turn for the worst when the book was serialized in the American press.
All ties to the family were severed, and she was forced to leave her cottage. Doing a Crawfie came to describe taking advantage of the family for financial benefit in royal slang.
In 1988, Crawfie passed away in a nursing home in Aberdeenshire, widowed and alone.
The malignancy had taken the 78-year-life. old's In a touching turn of events, she gave her solicitor the order to give the Queen a box full of sentimental items like photos, letters, and souvenirs. The royal archives contain these.
According to Crawfie's book, which today can only be seen as a positive representation of her charges, the young Elizabeth was responsible and organized.
She had her own mind, although Winston Churchill recalled that she was very clever. Both recognized her sense of obligation, which would follow her up until the present.
Due to the fact that Elizabeth was third in line to the throne and was not expected to become queen, her birth had barely generated a modicum of popular curiosity.
The Prince of Wales, her uncle, was first in line, and any offspring he had would pass her in the line of succession.
Edward did actually succeed to the kingdom following the passing of her grandpa in 1936.
