ON THIS DAY: April 21, 1926

Elizabeth Alexandra Mary was born to The Duke and Duchess of York. She is the first granddaughter for Their Majesties King George V and Queen Mary.

Unknown at the time, little Lilibet would become a record breaking, internationally acclaimed monarch whose duty to the nation and Commonwealth is celebrated across the world. Today the Queen celebrates her 86th birthday with her family in the year of her Diamond Jubilee.

If only King George V & Queen Mary could see her now! How proud they would be!

Happy birthday, Ma’am!

HM The Queen was joined by Duchesses Camilla and Catherine for a royal visit to Fortnum and Mason, the shop that has brought the best food in the world into the heart of London for three centuries.

The Queen officially opened the Fortnum and Mason Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon, unveiling a plaque to commemorate the event.
