Elizabeth II

(r. 1952-2022)

Queen Elizabeth II or Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Mountbatten-Windsor was the current Queen Of England ever since 1952 when her father King George VI died. She is what I consider the Queen of the Modern Era.

Elizabeth II held her reign for 69 years, honoring her the Diamond Jubilee, and the year 2022 will mark the year as the Platinum Jubilee for holding her reign for 70 years; in which is already in talks of a 4 day celebration.

With all the queens before her having power with politics, governance decrease over time once Elizabeth became queen. Quiet, yet keenly intelligent, Elizabeth II makes sure that her duties as Queen remain superior to the Commonwealth, as well as her fans across the world.

Queen Elizabeth died on September 8th, 2022 in her Balmoral Castle. She was visited by her children and grandchildren at the time of her death. She will forever be remembered as the Queen of our lifetime.
