Overview
At the age of twenty-five, Elizabeth II became Britain’s fortieth monarch and pledged to dedicate her life to service and duty. She went on to serve as the constitutional monarch of sixteen sovereign states, Head of the Commonwealth of Nations, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. On September 9, 2015, she became the longest-reigning monarch in British history.
Throughout her reign, Elizabeth II consistently adapted to a changing world in order to remain relevant, while steadfastly upholding the centuries-old traditions of the monarchy. Her ability to balance continuity with modernization defined her leadership and secured her place in history.
Although Britain has had only six female monarchs, some of the nation’s most enlightened periods occurred under queens. Elizabeth I presided over the Golden Age, and Queen Victoria oversaw the Industrial Revolution. Yet it is Elizabeth II whose reign stands as the most enduring, influential, and progressive—leaving a legacy unlike any other in British history.
