  1. 1952 at the death of her father, George VI.  She was 26 at the time.


  2. Her father passed away in 1952, and she was coronated in the summer of 1953.  She was technically Queen the moment her father passed away, but the British like pomp and circumstance.  They plan a big coronation ceremony.  It's said the cry used to go out in old days "the king is dead, long live the king".  That's because the new monarch instantly becomes the reigning ruler.

  3. proclaimed in 1952, on the death of George VI

    crowned in 1953 - a coronation needs planning and always takes place som time after the accession

  4. Actually, Queen Elizabeth II was the first British monarch since the accession of George I to be outside the country at the moment of succession. Princess Elizabeth was staying at Sagana Lodge in Kenya when she was told of her father's death and of her own succession to the throne — a unique circumstance for any such event. She was the first in modern times not to know the exact time of her accession (because her father had died in his sleep at an unknown time on 6 February 1952 from lung cancer).

    The coronation of the Queen Elizabeth II took place on 2 June 1953. It has seen been 54 years since she took the english throne.

  5. February 7, 1952.
