How old was Queen Elizabeth II when she was crowned the Queen of England
Queen Elizabeth II was crowned on June 2, 1953, at the age of 27.
She ascended to the throne of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth following the death of her father, King George VI, on February 6, 1952.
Her coronation was held more than a year after her accession to the throne, as the period of mourning for her father had to be observed.
The coronation ceremony, which took place at Westminster Abbey in London, was a grand and elaborate affair, steeped in tradition and symbolism.
