A Look at Queen Elizabeth II's Jubilant Life

In honor of Queen Elizabeth II's majestic 60-year reign on the throne, ET is taking a look back at her notable life. Your Royal Highness was once an unassuming baby, not originally set to inherit the throne. After her uncle abdicated his title of King, followed by the untimely death of her father, the power was in her hands. She assumed her role of Your Majesty in 1952. Today, June 5, 2012 marks the culmination of a yearlong Diamond Jubilee celebration. Take a look at Queen Elizabeth II as a newborn, toddler, bride, mother, grandmother, and world leader.
