On Friday, it would have been the late Queen Elizabeth II. 97 years old. She spent her last celebration in the family circle at the Sandringham estate. The Prince and Princess of Wales released what appears to be the last photograph of the Queen with her great-grandchildren on Friday.
It is the last photo of the youngest members of the royal family with their great-grandmother. This was published by Prince William and his wife Kate on the occasion of the premature birthday of Elizabeth II. In what appears to be the last photo, the tiny queen is surrounded by her ten great-grandchildren. Not only her family, but also the whole world remembered her on Friday.
“Today we commemorate the incredible life and legacy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on her 97th birthday. When Her Majesty was born in April 1926, Princess Elizabeth and her family did not expect that she would one day become Queen. Her Majesty became the longest-reigning the British monarch,” recalls Buckingham Palace.

Due to Britain’s changeable weather, Elizabeth II, born in April, always celebrated her birthday in June, when the country is much warmer. Already during the last celebration last year, there was speculation about the Queen’s health. Little did her guard then know that the birthday song was being played for her for the last time.
Birthdays always include a cake and, for example, seven years ago, the Queen was cutting a three-tier piece that she had received from the winner of a baking competition. After all, the queen always knew how to deal with cakes. For example, she amused the whole world when she refused to cut the cake with a knife and instead sliced it with a saber
Elizabeth was born shortly before three in the morning, by caesarean section. At the age of 25, she unexpectedly became Queen of the British Empire. She died last year on September 8. She thus became the second longest-reigning monarch in world history.
