February 6, 1952 –
Elizabeth II became Queen upon the death of her father George VI (who had been ill for some time and died in his sleep from a coronary thrombosis), on this date (she has been on the job for 69 years.)
At the exact moment of succession, she was in an observation post at the Treetops Hotel in Kenya.
Talk about bizarre ways you can land a job – Elizabeth went up a tree a princess and came down a Queen.
