17 Pictures of Queen Elizabeth II’s Life Post-Coronation




Queen Elizabeth II’s record-breaking reign as queen spanned more than seven decades and included innumerable royal duties, public appearances, meetings and all the responsibilities that come with the crown. However, whenever possible she made time for family and hobbies, including horseback riding and photography.

Elizabeth wed her distant cousin Philip Mountbatten on November 20, 1947, at London’s Westminster Abbey. She was crowned on June 2, 1953, and ascended to the throne on February 6, 1952. In 1948, Elizabeth and Philip welcomed their first son, Charles, and in 1950, their daughter, Anne. Elizabeth had two more children—sons, Andrew and Edward—in 1960 and 1964, respectively.
