Queen Elizabeth II is 96 years old, and will celebrate her 70-year reign with Platinum Jubilee celebrations this week.

In recent months, the Queen has been unable to attend events due to mobility issues, such as the State Opening of Parliament, but the royal family has showed up in support of the monarch.

As the Queen missed the State Opening of Parliament, her son, Prince Charles, read the Queen’s speech on her behalf, while her grandson, Prince William, attended the event for the first time.

In April, when the Queen missed the annual Easter Sunday service event, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren led the way at St George’s Chapel in Windsor.

When the Queen attended Prince Philip’s memorial in March, she was escorted to her seat by Prince Andrew.

The Queen spoke of her family’s support in 2002, following the recent deaths of her mother Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother and her sister Princess Margaret. At the time, the Queen spoke of her children and said she and Philip: “both have a special place in our hearts for our children.

“I want to express my admiration for The Prince of Wales and for all he has achieved for this country. Our children, and all my family, have given me such love and unstinting help over the years, and especially in recent months.”

But just how many children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren does the Queen have?

How many children does the Queen have?

Queen Elizabeth has four children with the late Prince Philip: Prince Charles (73), Princess Anne (71), Prince Andrew (62), and Prince Edward (58). She had her first child, Charles, when she was 22 years old.

Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, was born in 1948, and Princess Anne, the Princess Royal,  was born in 1950.

Prince Andrew, Duke of York, was born in 1960, while Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, was born in 1964.
