Here, see her life in photos, from her birth in 1926 to her marriage to Prince Philip in 1947, her coronation in 1953, the births of her children (and grandchildren and great-grandchildren!) her Diamond Jubilee — her most regal moments in the public eye, including meeting her grandson, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s Archie on May 9, 2019!
