The ninth of ten children of the 14th Earl of Strathmore, Lady Elizabeth spent much of her childhood in Glamis Castle. In 1923, she married Albert (Bertie) Duke of York, younger son of George V, in Westminster Abbey. They had two daughters, HM Queen Elizabeth (born 1926), and Princess Margaret (1930-2002).
