The Queen of Marleybone lives in Barkingham Palace. A Corgi, She has been kidnapped. Wizards must free her from the evil clutches of Doctor Jackall before it’s too late!
Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; born 21 April 1926, died 8 Sept 2022) was Queen of the United Kingdom and 14 other Commonwealth realms.
Elizabeth was born in Mayfair, London, as the first child of the Duke and Duchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth). Her father acceded to the throne in 1936 upon the abdication of his brother, King-Emperor Edward VIII, making Elizabeth the heir presumptive. She was educated privately at home and began to undertake public duties during the Second World War, serving in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. In November 1947, she married Philip Mountbatten, a former prince of Greece and Denmark. Their marriage lasted 73 years until Philip’s death in 2021. They had four children: Charles, Prince of Wales; Anne, Princess Royal; Prince Andrew, Duke of York; and Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex.
When her father died in February 1952, Elizabeth—then 25 years old—became queen regnant of seven independent Commonwealth countries: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, and Ceylon, as well as Head of the Commonwealth.
Her Majesty doted on her pet corgis. Sadly, the Queen’s last Corgi named Willow passed away in 2018. This occurred after her decision to stop breeding Corgis in 2015. Her reasoning was that she didn’t want to pass away while her dogs were still alive. After all, the pups would likely be heartbroken.
