When her father died in February 1952, Elizabeth—then 25 years old—became queen regnant of seven independent Commonwealth countries: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, and Ceylon, as well as Head of the Commonwealth.
Despite the death of Queen Mary on 24 March, the coronation on 2 June 1953 went ahead as planned, as Mary had asked before she died. The ceremony in Westminster Abbey, with the exception of the anointing and communion, was televised for the first time.Elizabeth's coronation gown was embroidered on her instructions with the floral emblems of Commonwealth countries

The coronation was in 1953.So let's get this clear:
She became Queen in February 1952, but the Coronation was not before June 1952.
The coronation was in 1953.
Interesting comment about the train being embroidered with flowers from the Commonwealth countries. Wasn’t the same done to Markle’s veil?

Jalayne Sutherland, accompanied by corgis Rascal and Jack, donned a royal outfit for Halloween.
(CNN)One Kentucky family recently got a piece of royal mail in their mailbox, sent straight from Windsor Castle.
When Katelyn Sutherland checked the mail on December 27, she wasn't expecting to find a letter addressed to her daughter, Jalayne, with a royal stamp on it.
The letter read, "Her Majesty thought it kind of you to write to her, and The Queen was pleased to see the photograph of your daughter, Jalayne, in her splendid outfit."
It was signed by the lady-in-waiting, Mary Morrison, who is a female personal assistant to a court.
"It was mixed in with our other mail," Katelyn said, "I had to calm myself down and make sure not to rip the envelope."
