Summary of Early Royal Life of Queen Elizabeth II:

Elizabeth was the first child of Prince Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI), and his wife, Elizabeth. Her father was the second son of King George V and Queen Mary, and her mother was the youngest daughter of Scottish aristocrat Claude Bowes-Lyon, 14th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne. She was born by Caesarean section at 2.40 am (GMT) on 21 April 1926 at her maternal grandfather's London house: 17 Bruton Street, Mayfair; and was baptized in the private chapel of Buckingham Palace by the Archbishop of York, Cosmo Lang, on 29 May. (She currently is Anglican and belong into the Church of England.) She was named Elizabeth after her mother, Alexandra after George V's mother, and Mary after her grandmother. Her close family called her "Lilibet". George V cherished his granddaughter, and during his serious illness in 1929 her regular visits raised his spirits and were credited with aiding his recovery.

Elizabeth's only sibling was Princess Margaret, born in 1930. The two princesses were educated at home under the supervision of their mother and their governess, Marion Crawford, who was casually known as "Crawfie". To the dismay of the royal family, Crawford later published a biography of Elizabeth and Margaret's childhood years entitled The Little Princesses. The book describes Elizabeth's love of horses and dogs, her orderliness, and her attitude of responsibility. Such observations were echoed by others: Winston Churchill described Elizabeth when she was two as "a character. She has an air of authority and reflectiveness astonishing in an infant." Her cousin Margaret Rhodes described her as "a jolly little girl, but fundamentally sensible and well-behaved".

Summary of Early American Life of Elizabeth Taylor:

Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born at Heathwood, her parents' home at 8 Wildwood Road in Hampstead Garden Suburb, a northwestern suburb of London; the second child of Francis Lenn Taylor (1897–1968) and Sara Viola Warmbrodt (1895–1994), who were Americans residing in England. Taylor's older brother, Howard Taylor, was born in 1929.  Her parents were originally from Arkansas City, Kansas. Francis Taylor was an art dealer, and Sara was a former actress whose stage name was "Sara Sothern." Sothern retired from the stage when she and Francis married in 1926 in New York City. Taylor's two first names are in honor of her paternal grandmother, Elizabeth Mary (Rosemond) Taylor.

At the age of three, Taylor began taking ballet lessons. Shortly before the beginning of World War II, her parents decided to return to the United States to avoid hostilities. Her mother took the children first, arriving in New York in April 1939, while her father remained in London to wrap up matters in his art business, arriving in November. They settled in Los Angeles, California, where her father established a new art gallery, which included many paintings he shipped from England. The gallery would soon attract numerous Hollywood celebrities who appreciated its modern European paintings. According to Walker, the gallery "opened many doors for the Taylors, leading them directly into the society of money and prestige" within Hollywood's movie colony.

As a Christian Scientist and lay preacher, his links with the family were also spiritual. He also became Elizabeth's godfather. As a young child, suffering from a severe infection that kept her in bed for weeks, she "begged" for his company: "Mother, please call Victor and ask him to come and sit with me."

One of their closest friends in England, Colonel Victor Cazalet, was an important influence on the family. As a rich and well-connected bachelor, a Member of Parliament and close friend of Winston Churchill, he was both a passionate lover of art and theater, and encouraged the Taylor family to think of England as their permanent home.
Victor sat on the bed and held Elizabeth in his arms and talked to her about God. Her great dark eyes searched his face, drinking in every word, believing and understanding.
Biographer Alexander Walker suggests that Elizabeth's conversion to Judaism at the age of 27 and her life-long support for Israel, may have been influenced by sympathetic views she heard at home. Walker notes that Cazalet was an active campaigner for a Jewish homeland, and her mother also worked actively in various charities, which included sponsoring fundraisers for Zionism. Her mother recalls the influence that Cazalet had on Elizabeth.

In 2000, The Queen Elizabeth II decided to invite Actress Elizabeth Taylor to join in the Investiture inside the Buckingham Palace.  Ms. Taylor was very delighted and excited after she got the Royal Invitation Letter from the Buckingham Palace.  She and her family flew to London, UK from Los Angeles, CA.   She sit on her wheelchair before Queen Elizabeth II granted on Mrs. Taylor's Request for her Wheelchair to go and take in the Queen's Private 
Elvaltor to the Grand Ballroom where the audience located the Investiture.

Mrs. Taylor and her wheelchair sit and waited for the arrival of
Queen Elizabeth II to the stage.  Queen politely walked there when Guests and Mrs. Taylor stood up and honored her as same as the music band performed well.  The Investiure in Charge presented the medal to Queen when he called Mrs. Taylor to walk and face with Queen.   Finally, Queen politely installed the medal on Mrs. Taylor's left chest on her fancy dress while she asked Mrs. Taylor about Elizabeth Taylor's childhood shortly.  Mrs. Taylor told Queen shortly before Queen thanked her when Mrs. Taylor walked back and bowed her head to Queen.
    
Mrs. Taylor became Dame Elizabeth Taylor after her medal was on advanced level of award.

Are Queen Elizabeth II and Dame Elizabeth Taylor being Christians?

Queen Elizabeth II is Christian as Anglican and knows Dame Elizabeth Taylor is not Christian but Jewish.  Queen was being cautious to her.  

On March 23, 2011,  Queen was informed about Dame Elizabeth Taylor passed away by her Private Secretary. 

Since June 2, 1953,  The Archbishop put a jewel crown on Princess Elizabeth's head while she sit on the ancient traditional throne inside the Westminister Abbey where the world witnessed on the coronation.  The Archbishop finally declared "God save the Queen".  Princess Elizabeth aged 24 and became Queen Elizabeth II and keep faith in her Christian and God.
