Where this quote comes from
Princess Elizabeth made this vow in a radio broadcast on her 21st birthday, 21 April 1947. She recalls the motto "I serve", used by many of her ancestors, and notes that radio lets her make her dedication with a whole empire listening. She then asks listeners to join her in it, since she cannot keep the promise alone.
