Prince Philip could not hide his true feelings when told the Queen's father had died 70 years ago. When George VI died on February 6, 1952, his 25-year-old daughter Elizabeth was in Kenya at the beginning of a huge royal tour of the Commonwealth.

The Queen's has now reached a colossal 70 years on the throne.Her Majesty ascended to the Crown upon the death of her father George VI and has since become the country's longest-reigning monarch.Her unusually long reign, the second-longest ever behind French King Louis XIV, who ruled for 72 years, is in part due to her father's poor health.George had a range of ailments and illnesses including lung cancer and had to have a lung removed. He died while Elizabeth was touring Kenya with now late-husband Prince Philip.Becoming the leader of the world's most famous family and monarchy at such a young age was remarkable and slightly unexpected, despite the King's ill health.So how young was the Queen, what happened and how old was she when she took the throne?The Queen came to the throne in 1952 on February 6.We celebrate the jubilee on June 2, however, as this is when the Queen was crowned at Westminster Abbey.The Queen was in Kenya at the time of her father's death and returned to London to be greeted by then Prime Minister Winston Churchill.The Guardian reported: "Prince Philip reacted as if he had been hit by a thunderbolt.

Queen's father set a "wonderful example" of how to put her "duty as monarch first" since she was very young, a childhood pal has said.Anne Tennant, Lady Glenconner, who was a maid of honour at the Queen's coronation, has shared her memories of the monarch as a young woman ahead of her Platinum Jubilee on Sunday (February 6). Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Lady Glenconner said the Queen would likely "look back very sadly" on the day as it also marked the death of her father, George VI.

Beside a stream in the foothills of Mount Kenya on 6 February, 1952, a nervous Duke of Edinburgh shared a piece of devastating news with his 25-year-old wife – her father had died.The royal couple had been staying in the East African country for one week when George VI passed away in his sleep, aged 56, following a lung operation.The following day, dressed in black, his daughter stepped down from her plane on to the tarmac at London Airport (now Heathrow) as Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of the Realm, Head of the Commonwealth and Defender of the Faith. She shook hands with ministers, including Prime Minister Winston Churchill, thanked her pilot for a safe and steady flight and promptly began the most historically significant reign in British history.

Queen could be haunted by her royal namesake during her Platinum Jubilee year, a ghoul hunter claims. Many royals, including Her Majesty’s dad George VI, have claimed that the Tudor monarch Elizabeth I visited them.

We all expect the Queen to be waited on hand and foot but away from prying eyes, sources say she’s just like one of us. In years past, Her Majesty spent happy days at a five-bedroom farmhouse in Sandringham called Wood Cottage - the residence Prince Philip affectionately called ‘home’.The remote coastal property in Norfolk is described as ‘modest by royal standards’ and while staying there, the royals were modest, too.The Queen even pulled on a pair of Marigolds! Harry Mount, author of How England Made the English shared with The Telegraph: “A long-dead royal courtier once told me, ‘I was once at a shooting lunch. At the end of lunch, I heard someone say: I’ll do the washing-up.

The Queen has returned to her late husband Prince Philip's Wood Cottage for the first time without him, to her mark her father's passing. While she usually spends the festive period at Sandringham, the 95 year old, who "declined to have restrictions eased" at Philip's funeral, has been at Windsor Castle since autumn last year due to the threat of Covid.
