'Even in her early childhood, you could see some of the traits in Elizabeth that would mark her future life as Queen,'
When Elizabeth was born she was third in line to the throne.
"That was quite unusual in royal or even aristocratic circles at the time," Sarah Gristwood, royal author and historian, told Sky News."It forged the Queen and gave her a lot of her strength to a certain degree."Strong sense of duty"Even in her early childhood, you could see some of the traits in Elizabeth that would mark her future life as Queen," she said.
"Only in her twenties herself, some doubted she would be experienced enough for the role, but her youth and energy was part of the reason their father chose her," Carolyn Harris, royal historian and author of Raising Royalty: 1000 Years of Royal Parenting, told Sky News. "She spent a lot of time in the countryside in those early years - and she loved spending time in Scotland, in particular," Harris said.
Reluctantly, Elizabeth and Margaret moved with their parents to Buckingham Palace and Elizabeth - no longer a carefree princess - began to prepare for her future role. A French governess also taught her fluent French, something which would prove useful as the future monarch of French-speaking Canada. "The young princess liked to march past the guards to make them draw arms. She felt already that her life had been drawn out for her."Elizabeth and Margaret launch a model seaplane at the Bekonscot model village in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire in 1939
"Being at Windsor Castle during the war meant the sisters were probably more isolated from the outside world than they would have been," Gristwood explained.But a Brownie pack was established inside the grounds of the castle and the princesses were allowed to meet other evacuee children from the local area.The war years saw the start of Elizabeth's public life - with her first broadcast - aged 14 in 1940.
"Even at that very young age she was being called upon to play the role she would later have - effectively soft diplomacy."
