| abstract | - Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon, styled Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, also Elizabeth, Duchess of York, (4 August 1900 - 30 March 2002), was the wife of King George VI of Britain. She married Prince Albert, Duke of York in 1923 after turning down repeated marriage proposals. In 1936 she unexpectedly found her husband on the throne following the abdication of his elder brother King Edward VIII. She was Queen-Consort of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions until her husband's death in 1952, and was also the final Empress-Consort of India until that nation became a republic in 1947. From 1952 until her death, she was Queen Mother during the first fifty years of her elder daughter's long reign. She died of a cold on 30 March 2002 when she was 101 years old. During World War II, Queen Elizabeth made a number of highly visible attempts to keep up morale. She risked her life by remaining in London during the Battle of Britain and sharing in the city's fate, rather than evacuate as the Cabinet advised her to do. Largely because of such gestures, she remained an immensely popular figure for the rest of her life, even as public perception of the Royal Family in general suffered in the 1980s and '90s.
- Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (Elizabeth Angela Marguerite; 4 August 1900 – 30 March 2002) was the Queen Consort of King George VI from 1936 until his death in 1952. After her husband's death, she was known as "Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother," to avoid confusion with her elder daughter, Queen Elizabeth II. Before her husband ascended the throne, from 1923 to 1936, she was known as the Duchess of York. Elizabeth was the last Queen of Ireland and Empress of India. As Queen Consort, Elizabeth was famous for her role in providing moral support to the British public during World War II, so much so that Adolf Hitler described her as "the most dangerous woman in Europe." In her later years, she was a consistently popular member of the British Royal Family, when other members of the family were suffering from low levels of public approval.
