For anyone born after February 1952 Queen Elizabeth II has been the only monarch that we’ve known. She was born third in line to the throne with little expectation that she would ever become Queen, but that changed in 1936 with the abdication of her uncle, King Edward VIII, and her father became King George VI. She then became Queen upon her father’s death in 1952 and with her death in 2022 is Britain’s longest reigning monarch, after Queen Victoria with 70 years service to her country.
70 years of service in which she remained very popular, both at home and abroad. Will we ever see her like again? Perhaps, although I fear most likely not and, if we should be so fortunate, only once in a blue moon.
