[post_page_title]The ascension of Queen Elizabeth[/post_page_title]
Queen Elizabeth is the longest ruling monarch in British history, but when she was young, she didn’t expect to become Queen. Her grandfather was King, with her uncle Edward next in the line of succession.
Everyone expected that he would marry and produce an heir. However, King Edward VIII abdicated the throne due to his desire to marry a divorced woman, putting Elizabeth’s father King George VI on the throne. In 1952 King George passed away, and Princess Elizabeth became Queen Elizabeth.
