On
April 21st, 1926, Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary was born at her paternal
grandfather's home on 17 Bruton Street in London's Mayfair neighborhood.
When her uncle, King Edward VIII abdicated the throne in 1936, Princess
Elizabeth became heir to the British throne.
87 years after her
birth, Queen Elizabeth follows Queen Victoria as the longest-reigning monarch in British history. Should
she remain on the throne through September 9th, 2015, Queen Elizabeth will
surpass her great-great grandmother reign, according to Sky News.
Her Majesty chose to
celebrate her birthday "in private" at Windsor Castle today, where
the Duchess of Cambridge will attend the National
Review of Queen's Scouts.
Prince Harry, meanwhile will hand out winners' medals at
the London Marathon.
