Britain’s Longest Serving Monarch
Recognised as the UK's longest-reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II died peacefully at Balmoral Castle on Thursday afternoon, at the age of 96.
Succeeding her is King Charles III, who became the new monarch immediately, and is expected to address the nation following the death of his mother.
Following the announcement of her death, Charles said his mother's death was a moment of "greatest sadness for me and all members of my family."
The Queen steered the monarchy through turbulent times, as Britain’s Empire ended and its place in the world fundamentally changed.
In her tenure as head of the UK and 14 other countries, the Queen oversaw the appointment of 15 British Prime Ministers, 14 US Presidents and nine Popes.
