Her father acceded to the throne when his brother, King Edward VIII, abdicated in 1936. Thereupon Elizabeth became the heir presumptive to the throne. In 1947, she married Lt. Philip Mountbatten, now Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. She acceded to the throne when King George VI died on February 6, 1952. Her coronation was some 16 months later, on June 2, 1953.
