In 1952, King George VI passed away and his daughter became Queen Elizabeth II. Now in 2022, she has been on the throne for 70 years, longer than any other monarch in the United Kingdom. This will be celebrated with a royal jubilee in June. My local heritage centre is hosting a jubilee party and my little queen doll will be on display there for the duration of the festivities.
