Queen Elizabeth was only 25 when she became the monarch after losing her father to cancer

Queen Elizabeth shocked Buckingham Palace to the core with her devastating first words after taking the throne.

The British monarch, who was only 25 when she became Queen after losing her father to cancer, said something deeply heartbreaking.

As revealed, the Queen walked over to her staff members and apologised!

Recalling the incident, Elizabeths lady-in-waiting Pamela Mountbatten said, "She remained completely calm and said simply: 'I am so sorry. This means we all have to go home.'"

This is because Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip were on a royal tour to Kenya and the news of her father's death had struck them like a sword.

However, though quite young, the Queen knew she had to fly home immediately and start her job as England's sole monarch.
