Birth
Elizabeth II Windsor, Queen of the United Kingdom was born on 21 April 1926 at 17 Bruton Street, Mayfair, London, England. She is the daughter of Prince Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI) Windsor, King of the United Kingdom and Lady Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon. [1]

Formal studies
After her father succeeded to the throne in 1936 and Princess Elizabeth became heir presumptive (first in line to the throne), she started to study constitutional history and law as preparation for her future role.
She received tuition from her father, as well as sessions with Henry Marten, the Vice-Provost of Eton. She was also instructed in religion by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Princess Elizabeth also learned French from a number of French and Belgian governesses. It is a skill which has stood The Queen in good stead, as she often has cause to use it when speaking to ambassadors and heads of state from French-speaking countries, and when visiting French-speaking areas of Canada.
Princess Elizabeth also studied art and music, learned to ride, and became a strong swimmer. She won the Children's Challenge Shield at London's Bath Club when she was thirteen. [3]

Who are these private sons and daughter? As far as I know, The Queen has had 4 children and not 8.

Someone has given the Queen herself as a sister. Please fix this quickly. She may depart this world any day and it would be super embarrassing to have this obvious error in place.

No it is a duplicate of Queen Elizabeth II, it has just been given an incorrect name. A merge of the two profiles has been proposed.

Queen Elizabeth has one sibling only - Margaret Rose. The half sister shown above is actually her mother.

FYI for all the people asking: Yes, there are currently some private duplicate profiles of members of the royal family. Merges have been proposed but these things take time as even Leaders can't just take over private profiles.
Please note, however, that living members of the royal family do have partially private profiles, though we use the most open level available for living people on WikiTree. This can't be avoided and will result in people not on the trusted list not seeing some things (like the queen's marriage). If you have a special interest in improving any of these profiles, feel free to send a trusted list request and one of us will give you access! :)

Someone might consider adding her marriage to Philip and eliminating all of her duplicate "private" children. Wikitree doesn't look good having something this high profile be so obviously incorrect.

Why is this profile showing the Queen's 4 children and separately showing them as "private son" or "private daughter". As members of the best known family in the world, there is no such thing as "private"!!

Margaret Rose is her sister, and another half sister, Margaret Rose is listed. Not so.
Windsor-24 and Windsor-850 should be merged.
