Biography

Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon, a remarkable individual, was the devoted spouse of King George VI and the doting mother of two notable offspring, Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon. During her husband's reign, she held the esteemed title of Queen of the United Kingdom and the Dominions, a position she maintained from his ascension to the throne in 1936 until his passing in 1952. Following his demise, she adopted the appellation Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, a deliberate choice made to differentiate herself from her daughter, who would eventually assume the throne. Notably, she was the last to hold the prestigious title of Empress of India.
