Queen Elizabeth II reigns over the United Kingdom and 14 other Commonwealth countries. Elizabeth was born in Mayfair, London, as the first child of the Duke and Duchess of York. Her father acceded to the throne in 1936 upon the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, making Elizabeth the heir presumptive.
As part of the ongoing 70-day image countdown to the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebration weekend, the Royal family wowed fans by revealing an incredible flashback photo of Queen Elizabeth II with her Commonwealth Heads of State from 1964.
The Queen can be seen in the black and white picture standing with 18 heads of state who were in London for the Commonwealth Prime Ministers’ Conference in 1964.
