♔ In celebration of The Queen’s seventy glorious years on the throne this week, we take a look back to the events that lead to her accession and ask 'How did the Queen become Queen?

♛ From King George VI’s ill-health, to the story behind-the-scenes of how Princess Elizabeth found out that she was Queen, and her actions afterwards in this week's episode. 

🗞We also keep you up-to-date with this week's Royal round-up with engagements from Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall celebrating Lunar New Year in Chinatown, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge gains a very sporty new patronage and Beth - Camilla’s adorable Jack Russel terrier - makes a fabulous appearance too.
