Long Before. Victoria reigned from l837-l90l and died on January 22 of that year/. She was the most recent Sovereign Queen of England, that is Queen Regnant- (ruling) in her own right. Alexandra ( wife of Edward Vii) and Queen Mary (died l953) were consort, or spousal queens, that is wives of Kings. So that is how the Royal pie breaks off. She is the longest-reigning Sovereign Queen in the Western World to my knowledge.
- When Elizabeth was born in 1926 her grandfather was King. Her dad, Albert, was 30 years old and her uncle Edward was 31. Edward was the oldest son and was to become King followed by his children. The problem was that Edward was not married.
- When Elizabeth's grandfather died when she 9 years old her uncle Edward became King, but he still wasn't married. Before his coronation Edward told his advisors that he wanted to marry an American divorcee named Wallis Simpson. They told him that his people would never accept an American divorcee as Queen and possibly parliament would abolish the monarchy and make United Kingdom a republic. So Edward abdicated the kingship before he was crowned to marry the women that he loved. He moved to France to live with her for the rest of his life.
- So Elizabeth's father was crowned King. Even though his name was Albert, he decided to use George as regal name and was known as George 6th. He was a very private man and being King during world war two was very stressful for him. He died only fifteen years later, and his oldest daughter, Elizabeth, became Queen of England.
Ruling directly before her was William IV, her uncle.
King George IV
Edward son of Henry 8th
George VI
