Elizabeth & George VI
Becoming the king of England was never something King George VI ever envisioned for himself. Having grown up believing that his elder brother, Edward, would take the throne allowed George the freedom to aspire to a life of privacy with his wife and two daughters. However, when his father died and his brother abdicated in order to marry the woman he loved, George’s life was turned completely upside down as he was now expected to step up to the role of King of England. A shy and reserved man with a crippling stammer might have never been able to grow into a courageous king if it were not for his wife, Elizabeth, by his side. Discover how she helped him to overcome his speech impediment, how he and his family boosted the morale of the British people during the second world war, and how they broke the cycle of an uptight royal family and prepped their eldest daughter to one day become the Queen of England.

Life Before the Crown: Princess Elizabeth
On April 21st 1926, the future Queen was born. Elizabeth Alexandra Mary. During her grandfather's reign, Elizabeth was third in the line of succession to the British throne, behind her uncle Edward and her father. When her grandfather died in 1936 and her uncle succeeded as Edward VIII, she became second in line to the throne, after her father. Her younger sister, Princess Margaret, became her best friend and confidant as a child. They grew up in a relatively stable and mundane family dynamic. It was a seemingly blissful life with privilege, with very little in the way of the pressure they would later face. Elizabeth’s exceptional dedication and attitude to the duties she inherited, as she followed in her father’s footsteps, would have the nation’s unwavering respect and love. A love which Margaret would come to envy. They were both Princesses, but only one could be Queen. She would grow up to become the most powerful woman in the world, and the titled leader of the British Empire.

1936: The Abdication
Born in 1894 as the oldest son of George, Duke of York, Edward became heir to the throne when his father was crowned King George V in May 1910 and was formally invested as Prince of Wales the following summer. As feared by royal aides, Edward showed little interest in any sort of day-to-day governorship. He was mainly preoccupied with marrying Wallis Simpson, and from her husband, at least, there was no pushback, as the businessman agreed to let the King have his way. After ruling for less than one year, Edward VIII became the first British monarch to voluntarily abdicate the throne. He made this choice after the British government and the Church of England condemned his decision to marry the American divorcee Wallis Simpson. On the evening of December 11th, 1936, Edward gave a radio address to the public, in which he explained his reasoning for leaving behind the throne. The broadcast was expected but still shocking.

On April 21st 1926, the future Queen was born. Elizabeth Alexandra Mary. Her father, the Duke of York, later King George VI, was the second son of the King. Her mother, the Duchess of York, later Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, was the youngest daughter of Scottish aristocrat Claude Bowes-Lyon. Elizabeth's only sibling, Princess Margaret, was born in 1930. The two princesses were educated at home under the supervision of their mother and their governess, Marion Crawford. Lessons concentrated on history, language, literature, and music. During her grandfather's reign, Elizabeth was third in the line of succession to the British throne, behind her uncle Edward and her father.

When her grandfather died in 1936 and her uncle succeeded as Edward VIII, she became second in line to the throne, after her father.
