We take a look at the royal history leading up to this unexpected monarch and the rise of the Windsor family, or should we say the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha Family. From her toothbrush mustache-loving Uncle Edward VIII, her time in the Auxiliary Territorial Service as a mechanic, to the romance of her distance cousin Philip, Elizabeth’s youth was one hell of a ride. -
