#Queen Elizabeth reaches historic milestone after ruling for 25,000 days

The 94-year-old royal, who has been in lockdown at Windsor Castle with husband Prince Philip during the coronavirus pandemic, said through a spokesman that she would spend the day “privately.”

Queen Elizabeth became the country’s longest-serving monarch in 2015, when she overtook her great-great-grandmother’s record of 63 years and 216 days.

At the time she said the record was “not one to which I have ever aspired,” according to a report in Britain’s Independent.

Queen Victoria presided over Britain as monarch from 1837 to 1901 — or 23,226 days, 16 hours and 30 minutes.

Princess Elizabeth was crowned at the age of 25 in 1952, following the death of her father, King George VI.
