The late queen, who died in 2022 after 70 years as England’s monarch, gave birth to Charles when she was still Princess Elizabeth. Her Majesty assumed the throne in February 1952 following the death of her father, King George VI. Elizabeth’s coronation was held the following June — with the former Duke of Edinburgh, who died in 2021, Charles and daughter Princess Anne, born in 1950, by her side.
