| | Queen Elizabeth II |
 | | Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor was third in line for the throne at her birth, but it was generally assumed that she would never get that far. |
 | | Suddenly Elizabeth's father was no longer the stuttering, knock-kneed Prince George, but King George VI, and Elizabeth was no longer just a royal princess, she was heir to the throne. |
 | | In the book, the governess told about confiding to 13-year-old Elizabeth that she yearned to marry, but that the palace would not approve, to which the princess replied, "'You must see, Crawfie, that it would not be at all convenient just now.'" Crawford stayed in her job, unmarried, until Elizabeth was 21. |
