Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother (Full Name: Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon), who passed away on 30 March 2002, aged 101, was the Consort of George VI.
Born into British aristocracy, Elizabeth married Prince George in 1923 after previously refusing him twice. She unexpectedly became Queen after the abdication of Edward VIII in 1936.
Adolf Hitler called her "the most dangerous woman in Europe" for her activities in rallying public spirit during WWII.
