(r. 1952-2022)
Queen Elizabeth II or Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Mountbatten-Windsor was Queen Of Great Britain ever since 1952, when her father King George VI died. She is what I consider the Queen of the Modern Era.
Elizabeth II reigned for 70 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 was given a 4 day celebration.
With all the queens before her having power with politics, governance decreased over time once Elizabeth became queen. Quiet, yet keenly intelligent, Elizabeth II made sure that her duties as Queen remained in high reputation to the Commonwealth, as well as her fans all across the world.
Queen Elizabeth died on September 8th, 2022 in 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.
