Queen Elizabeth passed away at the age of 96, over a year after Prince Philip's death at 99. King Charles, who assumed the throne following his mother's passing, paid tribute to her in his first official statement as monarch. “The death of my beloved mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family,” stated Charles on her passing.

It all started with the birth of Prince Charles on November 14, 1948, the then Princess Elizabeth showed a motherly determination to maintain a close connection with her firstborn. Despite the abrupt shift in plans when she ascended to the throne just four years later, Queen Elizabeth remained a loving and devoted mother.
