Explore the reign of one of the world's most influential women

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II ruled longer than any other monarch in British history, Queen of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth for 70 years and seven months.

She became queen at age 25, though when she was born, she was third in line to the throne and never expected to become queen. She joined the women’s branch of the British Army during World War II, becoming the first female member of the Royal Family to serve in active duty, married Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark in 1947, and had four children.

She lived a storied life, detailed in these selections from our shelves.
