Elizabeth II,
who today celebrated his 91st birthday – absolute
record holder in the history of Britain. Compatriots of the current reigning
Queen, only her great-great-grandmother Victoria, who ruled an Empire for 63 years and
19 days, could make it competitive. But in September 2015 Elizabeth
has surpassed its predecessor.
Elizabeth –
the owner and numerous other records and achievements. She’s the absolute
the champion on duration of life among the royals of Britain. In November of this year it will celebrate
70 years of marriage with Prince Philip. The Queen was able to “stock”
to ensure Britain heirs — first, having given birth to four children, and then live
to the rare situation when together with the reigning Queen are three of its most
direct heir: Prince Charles, his son William and grandson of Elizabeth George. For 65 years
Elizabeth’s reign in the country
had to change 13 Prime Ministers since Winston Churchill. And although
at his advanced age, the Queen is still the boss of more than 600
charity organizations…
But if
British history, Elizabeth surpassed all his predecessors in
length of reign, in the list of monarchs, the longest
had spent on the throne for the last thousand years, it ranks only 43rd
place.

King
Swaziland is an absolute champion among the kings of the whole world.
Honor
be considered as the monarch who ruled the longest, belongs to Sobuza II
the king of Swaziland is a small African
States in southern Africa. This monarch
rules his people as much as 82 and 54
day! So the British Queen Elizabeth, given her advanced age, is unlikely
it will be hard to surpass this record.
Sobuza started
his reign in the 19th century – back in 1899, the year and managed to live up to
1982. And on the throne of the monarch, who retired from
life in ‘ 83, came when he was only 4 months! Filed remember
their monarch with great warmth – because the country, the former in the past
a British protectorate, gained independence and achieved economic
prosperity.
