"Queen Elizabeth II was born in a modest dwelling in London's Mayfair neighborhood, making her the first British monarch born in a private home rather than a palace."
"Her early days were spent living in grand but not technically palatial surroundings, leading to a somewhat normal childhood until her father unexpectedly became king in 1936."
"To mark the occasion of her 100th birthday in 2026, the royal family will celebrate with a festivity-filled day, including a visit to the British Museum."
"An official collection of pastel-hued chinaware has also been released to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's centennial celebration."
