About
Queen Elizabeth II (1926–2022) was the longest-reigning British monarch in history — 70 years, 214 days on the throne. She witnessed extraordinary change: the end of the British Empire, the Cold War, 15 prime ministers (from Churchill to Truss), the rise of the internet, and the transformation of Britain into a multicultural society. She fulfilled her duties with unwavering consistency and professionalism.
Elizabeth II was the world's most recognized living person throughout her reign. Her sense of duty, derived from a private Christian faith and an early vow to serve, was remarkable. Her death in September 2022 was mourned globally — 250,000 people queued for up to 14 hours to file past her coffin. The queue, nicknamed 'The Queue,' became a symbol of British character.
