As the UK's longest-reigning monarch, Elizabeth II's unexpected role as queen was undoubtedly shaped by her experiences as a princess during the Second World War. She became the first female member of theRoyal Family to become a full-time, active member of the military. In doing so, she gained a unique perspective on the demands of such service, and her personal experiences shaped her role as queen and made the armed forces an important element of her reign.

11 Commonwealth countries !
