[post_page_title]Not in the country[/post_page_title]
King George VI passed away in his sleep, and the world woke up to the news that their ruler was no longer. While this was difficult news to swallow, it was even more difficult for Elizabeth. At the time of his passing, the Princess was on a Royal tour in Kenya.
She was alerted to the news of her father while she was staying at the Treetops Hotel, and although she was devastated by the loss of her King and beloved father, she was also aware of what this meant for her. Her immediate accession to the throne was in motion, and she needed to get back to the UK to serve her country and step up to the plate. She was officially coronated on June 2, 1953.
