A bit about Queen Elizabeth: She was born on April 21, 1926. She was crowned on June 2, 19 53. She enjoyed reading mysteries and working on crossword puzzles. She even liked to watch wrestling on TV. When she was crowned and officially became the Queen, she was only 25 years old. She first met her husband Philip when she was 13 and immediately fell in love with him. Her father, George the VI, was not fond of him though. This is because he thought Prince Philip had a pretty rough personality.
