83 x 65.5 cm. (32.7 x 25.8 in.) King George II of England, 18th century. Oval portrait as half figure with wig, in breastplate and with blue sash, in front in drapery half-covered Order of the Garter.

Queen Elizabeth II became the queen after the passing of her father, King George VI when she was 25 years old. Queen Elizabeth II married Philip, Duke of Edinburgh on Nov. 20, 1947.

While Charles I has been described as “reserved” — he had a stammer, like Elizabeth's father, King George VI — and also “self-righteous,” his son, Charles II, was anything but.

His grandfather was King George II. When his father Prince Frederick died unexpectedly in 1751 at age 44, George became heir apparent. In 1760, George III became monarch when his grandfather died.
