Her 70 years on the British throne was the longest reign in British history and the second longest reign of a sovereign ruler in history, just after King Louis XIV of France.
Queen Elizabeth was born April 21, 1926. She ascended the throne on February 6, 1952. Her reign spanned 15 prime ministers, from Winston Churchill to Liz Truss.
Her son, Charles, has become king upon her death.
