Four years before she took the throne as Queen Elizabeth II, she made a pledge.
"I declare before you 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," the 21-year-old Elizabeth Alexandra Mary then said.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
..."Queen Elizabeth is the only monarch the vast majority of Britons have ever known. Bradford believes history will rank her among the nation's great sovereigns, alongside Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria.
"I think the queen's legacy will be holding the whole thing together, through bad and good, connecting with the world," Bradford says. "I think she'll be seen as dutiful, good at her job and self-sacrificing in many ways."
A quarter-century after assuming the throne, Queen Elizabeth II summarized her role and her relationship with her subjects: "When I was 21, I pledged my life to the service of our people," she said. "Although that vow was made in my salad days when I was green in judgment, I do not regret nor retract one word of it."
