In a live radio transmission during the early stages of World War II, a 14-year-old Princess Elizabeth gave her first address, encouraging youngsters who had been evacuated from their homes to "be joyful and courageous."Although it was little recognized in 1940, throughout Queen Elizabeth II's reign, which came to an end with her death on Thursday at the age of 96, her distinctive strident voice went on to become instantly recognizable to nearly everyone living in Britain and millions more beyond. As the steadfast head of state of a significant but waning nation amid seven decades of a worldwide transition, she guided the world's most illustrious royal dynasty through several challenging periods and welcomed generations of monarchs, presidents, and despots.
