In 1953, a 25-year-old princess pledged her devotion as defender of the commonwealth. Although much younger than her father had been at the time of his coronation, Queen Elizabeth II had proved herself to her country through public service during World War II. For more than 50 years, the queen has exhibited that same determination, and loyalty to her people. The queen celebrates her 84th birthday June 12, 2010, with the Trooping of the Color at Buckingham Palace.
