Queen consort of King George VI and mother of Queen Elizabeth II
Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother (Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon; 4 August 1900 – 30 March 2002) was the wife of King George VI and the mother of Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon. She was queen consort of the United Kingdom from 11 December 1936 until her husband's death on 6 February 1952, after which she was known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother to avoid confusion with her daughter, Queen Elizabeth II.
Early Life
Elizabeth was born on 4 August 1900, the ninth of ten children of Claude Bowes-Lyon, 14th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, and his wife, Cecilia Cavendish-Bentinck. She spent much of her childhood at Glamis Castle, the family seat in Scotland.
Marriage and Family
Elizabeth married Prince Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI) on 26 April 1923. They had two daughters: Elizabeth II (born 1926) and Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon (1930–2002).
Queen Consort
Following the abdication of her brother-in-law, Edward VIII, in 1936, her husband became king, and she became queen consort. During World War II, she was noted for her role in boosting the morale of the British public. She refused to leave London during the Blitz and visited troops, hospitals, and factories to support the war effort.
Later Life and Legacy
After the death of her husband in 1952, she was known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. She continued to be active in public life, carrying out numerous engagements and supporting various charities. She was particularly known for her support of the British Armed Forces and the arts.
Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother died on 30 March 2002 at the age of 101. She was buried beside her husband in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.
