A look back on how Queen Elizabeth II acted as a mother to the four children she shared with Prince Philip: Charles, Anne, Andrew and Edward.

According to Sally Bedell Smith’s biography, “

Philip and Elizabeth spent Christmas in Malta while Charles stayed with his grandparents, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, at Sandringham Castle in the UK. Charles was 3 years old when 27-year-old Elizabeth suddenly became the Queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms in February 1952. Anne, who was born in August 1950, was just 18 months old at the time.Smith wrote that the children’s lives were “spent mainly in the six-room nursery complex on the second floor of Buckingham Palace.”
