Mechanic'</h2><p>Elizabeth took her ATS duties seriously, but the idea of a future queen repairing automobiles proved irresistible. Her enlistment made headlines around the world, with newspapers applauding the young princess’ commitment to the war effort and calling her "<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201202152128/https://time.com/5287517/world-war-ii-queen-elizabeth-photo/" rel="nofollow noopener" onclick="return phoenixTrackClickEvent(this, event);" target="_blank">Princess Auto Mechanic</a>." And though her parents had proved resistant to the idea of her joining the military, they were immensely proud of their daughter, paying a visit to her ATS unit in April 1945, with younger daughter Margaret — and a fleet of reporters and newsreel cameramen — in tow.</p><aside class="m-in-content-ad-row l-inline not-size-a not-size-b"><div class="m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b" data-class-rules="[{"sizes":["728x90"],"classes":["is-728x90"]},{"sizes":["0x0"],"classes":["m-advertisement--fluid-card"]}]" data-ad-group="in_content-2"><div class="m-in-content-ad--slot is-placeholder not-size-a not-size-b"><div id="ad-7f4d9dbce35242cc94fc787f2985aa2c"></div></div></div></aside><aside class="m-in-content-ad-row l-inline not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d"><div class="m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d" data-class-rules="[{"sizes":["728x90"],"classes":["is-728x90"]},{"sizes":["970x90"],"classes":["is-970x90"]},{"sizes":["0x0"],"classes":["m-advertisement--fluid-card"]}]" data-ad-group="in_content-2"><div class="m-in-content-ad--slot is-placeholder not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d"><div id="ad-9a5c16c016724397be22b0418043a5bb"></div></div></div></aside><aside class="m-in-content-ad-row l-inline not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d"><div class="m-in-content-ad not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d" data-class-rules="[{"sizes":["0x0"],"classes":["m-advertisement--fluid-card"]}]" data-ad-group="in_content-3"><div class="m-in-content-ad--slot is-placeholder not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d"><div id="ad-7b2fa9d2212e4f07ac0a2000eb38034f"></div></div></div></aside><p>Elizabeth was still in the ATS when Germany surrendered on May 8, 1945, and she and Margaret famously slipped out of Buckingham Palace to join revelers celebrating in London. Her military service ended with Japan’s surrender later that year. The war was over, but it had taken its toll on the royal family. George VI had helped lead his country in its darkest hour, but his health (thanks in part to a lifelong smoking habit) would never be the same.</p><div class="m-detail--body-item m-detail--body-item-inline"><figure class="l-inline tml-image m-detail--tml-image--inline" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject"><phoenix-picture><a><picture class="is-waiting-to-load"><source type="image/webp" sizes="(min-width: 1240px) 700px, (min-width: 675px) 620px, calc(100vw - 40px)" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20201202152128im_/https://www.biography.com/.image/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380/MTcxMzYzMjk1NDM1OTU3OTM5/gettyimages-74949485.webp 380w, https://web.archive.org/web/20201202152128im_/https://www.biography.com/.image/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620/MTcxMzYzMjk1NDM1OTU3OTM5/gettyimages-74949485.webp 620w, https://web.archive.org/web/20201202152128im_/https://www.biography.com/.image/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_1240/MTcxMzYzMjk1NDM1OTU3OTM5/gettyimages-74949485.webp 1240w, https://web.archive.org/web/20201202152128im_/https://www.biography.com/.image/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700/MTcxMzYzMjk1NDM1OTU3OTM5/gettyimages-74949485.webp 700w, https://web.archive.org/web/20201202152128im_/https://www.biography.com/.image/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_1400/MTcxMzYzMjk1NDM1OTU3OTM5/gettyimages-74949485.webp 1400w"><source sizes="(min-width: 1240px) 700px, (min-width: 675px) 620px, calc(100vw - 40px)" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20201202152128im_/https://www.biography.com/.image/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380/MTcxMzYzMjk1NDM1OTU3OTM5/gettyimages-74949485.jpg 380w, https://web.archive.org/web/20201202152128im_/https://www.biography.com/.image/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620/MTcxMzYzMjk1NDM1OTU3OTM5/gettyimages-74949485.jpg 620w, https://web.archive.org/web/20201202152128im_/https://www.biography.com/.image/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_1240/MTcxMzYzMjk1NDM1OTU3OTM5/gettyimages-74949485.jpg 1240w, https://web.archive.org/web/20201202152128im_/https://www.biography.com/.image/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700/MTcxMzYzMjk1NDM1OTU3OTM5/gettyimages-74949485.jpg 700w, https://web.archive.org/web/20201202152128im_/https://www.biography.com/.image/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_1400/MTcxMzYzMjk1NDM1OTU3OTM5/gettyimages-74949485.jpg 1400w"><img class="m-detail--tml-image m-image" alt="Queen Elizabeth II" decoding="async" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20201202152128im_/https://www.biography.com/.image/t_share/MTcxMzYzMjk1NDM1OTU3OTM5/gettyimages-74949485.jpg" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20201202152128/https://www.biography.com/.image/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700/MTcxMzYzMjk1NDM1OTU3OTM5/gettyimages-74949485.jpg" height="2076" width="3316" srcset="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" itemprop="contentUrl url"></picture></a><div class="m-detail--tml-image-wrapper" style="max-width:3316px; min-width:0px;"><div class="m-detail--tml-image-container" style="padding-top: 63%"></div></div></phoenix-picture><figcaption><p class="tml-image--caption" itemprop="caption">Queen Elizabeth in 2007</p><p class="tml-image--attribution" itemprop="author"><span>Photo: POOL/ Tim Graham Picture Library/Getty Images</span></p></figcaption></figure></div><h2>The queen remains a fan of cars today</h2><p>In 1947, the usually deferential Elizabeth once again fought to get her own way. This time, she was determined to overcome the objections of her family and the British government to marry <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201202152128/https://www.biography.com/royalty/prince-philip" rel="nofollow">Philip Mountbatten</a>, a Greek-born, dashing young officer in the Royal Navy, who Elizabeth had fallen for at the age of 13. That November, with Britain still in a post-war economic downturn resulting in rationing, the couple married. Several of their children and grandchildren would follow in their footsteps by serving in the armed services, including <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201202152128/https://www.biography.com/royalty/prince-charles" rel="nofollow">Prince Charles</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201202152128/https://www.biography.com/royalty/prince-andrew" rel="nofollow">Prince Andrew</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201202152128/https://www.biography.com/royalty/prince-william" rel="nofollow">Prince William</a> and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201202152128/https://www.biography.com/royalty/prince-harry" rel="nofollow">Prince Harry</a>, whose <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201202152128/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/prince-harry-ends-10-year-career-with-the-army/" rel="nofollow noopener" onclick="return phoenixTrackClickEvent(this, event);" target="_blank">10-year stint</a> in the British Army included two tours in Afghanistan.</p><p>And while the queen is best known as a keen and passionate rider and breeder of horses, her teenage years in the ATS left their mark. She taught her children how to drive, and well into her 90s can frequently be seen behind the wheel of one of the many cars in the royal collection — and she’s been known to jump at the chance to diagnose and repair faulty engines and machinery, just as she was trained to do more than 70 years ago.</p></div><div class="m-detail--blockthrough-ads"><span class="bt-uid-tg" uid="5ae8e0f067-168"
