Elizabeth was born in a royal family, but at first no one expected her to wear the crown. Still, her family taught her the importance of service to her country — so when her father became king, and she became the heir apparent, she was ready. Elizabeth helped inspire her people during World War II, and took the throne promising to devote herself to her subjects and became the longest ruling monarch of the United Kingdom.
