When her father died, Princess Elizabeth was on an official visit to Kenya. She arrived in Kenya as a princess but quickly returned home to become Queen.

She reigned for seven decades, from 1953 to 2022, making her the longest-serving British monarch. Her funeral was held on September 19, following her death on September 8.

Attendees came from all corners of the globe to pay their respects at the funeral service that was held at Westminster Abbey, which was followed by her burial later that day.

A 35-second video shared by Royal Correspondent Charlie Proctor showed the moment the crown was placed on the head of the 26-year-old queen in 1953.

The other segment of the video depicts the solemn moment on Monday when the Royal Crown was officially - and symbolically - taken from her.

It was after the funeral service at Westminster Abbey that an official removed the crown from her coffin and handed it over to another officer.

He captioned the video as follows: The Crown was first placed on Queen Elizabeth II's head in 1953.

“"2022: The Crown leaves Elizabeth II’s possession for the final time."
