Records

Queen Elizabeth has reigned for 70 years now. With her being on the throne, she has faced a lot of challenges. With every day passing by, she gained experience. 


She has set many records that nobody has ever achieved.



The next nationwide celebration for a jubilee event will be in the year 2022. It will be the time when Her Majesty celebrates 70 years on the throne. The Platinum Jubilee will also take place in the same year as Queen Elizabeth will turn 96-years-old. 

With all those years yet to come, no wonder Queen Elizabeth has broken an exceptional number of records. Here we have some of them for you to have a look at:

LONGEST REIGNING BRITISH MONARCH: On 9 September 2015, Her Majesty surpassed her great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria, who reigned for 63 years 216 days. The occasion was met by celebrations across the nation.
