Born just weeks apart in 1926, David first met royalty in 1985 while he was working at the BBC. As part of a tour of the BBC, the beloved nature presenter met Charles and Anne when they were just children, introducing them to his three year old cockatoo, Cocky.
Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee: Everything to Know About the Celebration of Her 70-Year Reign
11.01.2022 - 16:13 / usmagazine.com
A royal affair! Queen Elizabeth II is set to hit a very important milestone in 2022 — and the palace is celebrating the occasion all year long.
The monarch will mark 70 years on the throne on February 6, making her the first British ruler to ever celebrate a Platinum Jubilee. (She is already the commonwealth’s longest-reigning monarch, surpassing her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria in 2015.)

Elizabeth rose to power in February 1952 after her father, King George VI, died at age 56. She was coronated in June 1953.
Since taking the throne, the queen has been served by 14 British prime ministers including Winston Churchill (her first), Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair. She is also the longest-serving female head of state in the history of any country.
Though the upcoming event is supposed to be a joyous occasion, it will also mark the queen’s first jubilee without her husband, Prince Philip, who died in April 2021 at age 99. On a happier note, however, it may provide the monarch with the chance to see all of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren after
