“There is a motto which has been borne by many of my ancestors—a noble motto, “I serve.” . . .  I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.”

– Queen Elizabeth II, April 21, 1947

Steadfast, constant and true—these are the traits that defined the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. A model of duty and dignity, Queen Elizabeth II never wavered in her resolve.

And she solemnly kept that promise throughout her extraordinary reign.
