Queen Elizabeth II’s tenure as head of state saw the transition of the UK from empire to Commonwealth. Her reign spanned 15 Prime Ministers which whom she held weekly audiences with.

Her first and eldest son, Prince Charles succeeds as King of the United Kingdom immediately, according to centuries of protocol, beginning a new chapter for the royal family and the people of the United Kingdom.

Queen Elizabeth will be remembered among many things for the leadership she provided even as a young teenager. In 1940, as a 14-year-old, she made her first radio broadcast during the BBC’s Children’s Hour, addressing other children who had been evacuated from the cities because of the war.

She stated, “we are trying to do all we can to help our gallant sailors, soldiers, and airmen, and we are trying, too, to bear our own share of the danger and sadness of war. We know, every one of us, that in the end all will be well.”
