February 6, 1952.

After a long illness, King George VI of Great Britain and Northern Ireland died in his sleep.

Princess Elizabeth was in Kenya at the time of her father’s death.

Groomed as a young girl to succeed her father, she was crowned Queen Elizabeth II on June 2, 1953, at age 27.

From the start of her reign, Elizabeth understood the value of public relations.

She insisted that her 1953 coronation be televised, despite objections that it would cheapen the ceremony.

Elizabeth is the 40th British monarch since William the Conqueror.

She is a popular figure around the world.

She is only the fifth British monarch to celebrate more than 50 years on the throne.

Queen Elizabeth is one of the world’s wealthiest women, with extensive real estate holdings and art and jewelry collections

Pope’s Funeral: Trump, Melania Lands in Rome for Pope Francis' Funeral Amid Seating Row Speculation

Donald Trump and Melania arrived in Rome to attend Pope Francis’ historic funeral, joining dozens of world leaders in Vatican City. As final tributes poured in, questions over seating arrangements stirred quiet tensions, especially for Trump—who previously criticized his predecessor’s distant placement at Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. With Argentina and Italy taking protocol precedence, other guests, including royalty and heads of state, are seated alphabetically. While Trump faces a "third-tier" position, Vatican experts assure the event will be a masterclass in managing egos and international dignitaries with delicate diplomacy. #DonaldTrump #MelaniaTrump #PopeFrancisFuneral #TrumpNews #VaticanFuneral #WorldLeaders #USPolitics #Royals #SeatingSnub #HumiliatingMoment #FuneralSeating #InternationalProtocol #TrumpVsBiden #PopeFuneral #TrumpMelania #TrumpMocked #RoyalProtocol #BidenFuneralSeating #TrumpVaticanVisit #TrumpInternational Also Read ‘I Am Close To India, Pakistan...': US President Donald Trump On Pahalgam Terrorist Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/i-am-close-to-india-pakistan-donald-trump-on-pahalgam-terrorist-attack-4135507.html?ref=DMDesc US President Donald Trump, Russia's Vladimir Putin Condemned Pahalgam Terrorist Attack, Call It A Brutal Crime :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-russias-vladimir-putin-condemned-pahalgam-terrorist-attack-call-it-a-br-4131695.html?ref=DMDesc Harvard Sues Donald Trump Administration Over Cut In US Federal Funding :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-sues-donald-trump-administration-over-cut-in-us-federal-funding-4130575.html?ref=DMDesc

Pope’s Funeral: Trump to Get ‘Humiliating’ Third-Row Seats at Funeral as Royals Take Front Row

U.S. President Donald Trump and Melania Trump are set to attend Pope Francis’ funeral but will reportedly be seated in the third row—behind Catholic and non-Catholic royalty. The UK Telegraph dubbed the placement “humiliating,” especially after Trump had mocked Biden’s 14th-row spot at Queen Elizabeth’s funeral. World leaders, including Trump, will sit alphabetically by country (in French), possibly placing the Trumps near Estonia or Eswatini. The optics of this seating have stirred buzz online and could reignite debates on America's global status and Trump’s past remarks. #DonaldTrump #MelaniaTrump #PopeFrancisFuneral #TrumpNews #VaticanFuneral #WorldLeaders #USPolitics #Royals #SeatingSnub #HumiliatingMoment #FuneralSeating #InternationalProtocol #TrumpVsBiden #PopeFuneral #TrumpMelania #TrumpMocked #RoyalProtocol #BidenFuneralSeating #TrumpVaticanVisit #TrumpInternational Also Read ‘I Am Close To India, Pakistan...': US President Donald Trump On Pahalgam Terrorist Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/i-am-close-to-india-pakistan-donald-trump-on-pahalgam-terrorist-attack-4135507.html?ref=DMDesc US President Donald Trump, Russia's Vladimir Putin Condemned Pahalgam Terrorist Attack, Call It A Brutal Crime :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-russias-vladimir-putin-condemned-pahalgam-terrorist-attack-call-it-a-br-4131695.html?ref=DMDesc Harvard Sues Donald Trump Administration Over Cut In US Federal Funding :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-sues-donald-trump-administration-over-cut-in-us-federal-funding-4130575.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.121~
