In this article, we will see Queen Elizabeth II portrait using CSS. Elizabeth II was Queen of the United Kingdom from 6 February 1952 until her death on 8 September 2022. Her reign of 70 years and 214 days was the longest of any British monarch and the second-longest recorded of any monarch of a sovereign country.

Also, see some facts about Queen Elizabeth II.

  • Queen Elizabeth II favorite dogs were corgis
  • Queen Elizabeth II was crowned Queen on 2 June 1953
  • she was served by 15 UK Prime Ministers
  • Queen Elizabeth II was the only person in the UK allowed to drive without a license

So, let’s see something interesting like the Elizabeth II photo, portrait of Elizabeth II using CSS.

Add HTML

In this step, we will create an HTML code and add the following code.

<queen-liz id="queen">  <queen-head>
<div class="hair"></div>
<div class="earrings"></div>
<ul class="hat">
<li class="top"><i></i></li>
<li class="feather"></li>
<li class="feather"></li>
<li class="brim"></li>
</ul>
<ul class="face">
<li class="eye"><i></i></li>
<li class="eye"><i></i></li>
<li class="nose"></li>
<li class="mouth"></li>
</ul>
</queen-head>
<queen-body>
<div class="neck"></div>
<div class="button"></div>
<div class="crest"><i></i></div>
</queen-body>
</queen-liz>

Add CSS

Now, we will add CSS and some animation effects for Queen Elizabeth II.
