Various of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh waving from balcony STORYLINE: On her 21st birthday in 1947, Princess Elizabeth went on the radio and made a promise to Britain and its Commonwealth nations: She pledged that “my whole life, whether it be short or long, will be devoted to your service.“ In 1952, King George VI died at 56 after years of ill health. Elizabeth, on a visit to Kenya, was told that she was now queen. Over her very long life, Queen Elizabeth II fulfilled her vow. Through 15 prime ministers, from Winston Churchill to Liz Truss. Through Britain’s postwar deprivations, crippling labor unrest and Brexit. Through the messy divorces, embarrassments and scandals of her family. She endured through it all — a reassuring anchor in a fast-changing world. =========================================================== Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel 44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@ (ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service Find out more about AP Archive: Twitter: Facebook: ​​ Instagram: You can license this story through AP Archive:
