Elizabeth II: the longest-living queen in history

He has been on the throne for more than 70 years. GETTY Queen Elizabeth II has been on the British throne since February 6, 1952. Specifically, 25,782 days. That’s 70 years and 214 days. She is the longest-living female monarch in history. Last June, when she turned 70 years and 127 days on the throne, her reign already became the second longest in history, after the death of King Bhumibol of Thailand. Because, if we look at the longevity of the monarchs that have been or are in the world, Elizabeth II is surpassed by another monarch: Louis XIV, who occupied the throne in France in the 17th century. How much? Two more years: 72 years and 110 days. He became king when he was only 4 years old. Elizabeth II came to the throne at the age of 25. A short distance from Elizabeth II, in the ranking of the longest-living kings, is King John II of Liechtenstein, who was on the throne for 70 years and 91 days in the 19th century. The queen of England occupies, therefore, the second place in long-lived monarchs, but as a queen, she is the longest-lived in history.
