Elizabeth now has only one name before her. ‘Sun King’ Louis XIV of France reigned from 1643 to 1715 and thus sat on the throne for 72 years and 110 days. The British Queen can match that record on May 25, 2024, in 713 days.
Elizabeth, 96, celebrated her platinum government anniversary last weekend with four days of parades, street parties and other events across Britain and the Commonwealth.
Due to her fragile health, Elizabeth did not attend all the festivities organized for the family. The queen is no longer so mobile and had to rest after she made her appearance on the first day during Trooping The Colour.
