Upon her father’s death, King George VI, Princess Elizabeth, became Queen Elizabeth II. Elizabeth was a young mother of two children when taking on this important role in the United Kingdom. However, she wanted her young son, Prince Charles, to feel special when, in 1953, she stepped into the role she would eventually hold for over 70 years. She gifted the then-4-year-old with a child-friendly coronation invitation.
