95 Years Young! Queen Elizabeth Marks A Big Birthday Milestone — See Photos Of Her Majesty Throughout The Years

Queen Elizabeth turned 95 on April 21. See photos of the royal throughout her life, here!

All hail Queen Elizabeth! The matriarch turned 95 on April 21, and while her celebrations will look a bit different this year, she will hopefully have some family by her side to mark the historic day. 

The Queen will not share a new portrait this year, as she is still grieving Prince Philip's death, and there will be no gun salute, the Daily Express reported.

"Plans to mark the day with a new portrait of her are set to be shelved because she is still in the official period of royal mourning for her beloved husband," royal expert Rebecca English shared. 

"The glaring absence of Prince Philip will be impossible to ignore and the run-up to what should have been a joyous day is set to be overshadowed by speculation about the major rift in her family."
