What You Should Know About Queen Elizabeth II Reign
Queen Elizabeth has reigned over the United Kingdom and more than a dozen other countries, including Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, since 1952. She celebrated her 70th year on the throne earlier this year with four days of national celebrations in June.
“I have been inspired by the kindness, joy, and kinship that has been so evident in recent days,” she said at the time. “I hope this renewed sense of togetherness will be felt for many years to come.”
Elizabeth took the throne after her father, King George VI, died on February 6, 1952, when she was only 25 years old.

She was crowned the following June. The first broadcast coronation foreshadowed a new world in which the royals’ lives would be extensively scrutinized by the media.
Elizabeth became ruler at a time when Britain still controlled a large portion of her empire. It was emerging from the devastation of WWII, with food rationing still in effect and class and privilege still ruling society.
However, iexclusivenews Nigeria reports that Winston Churchill was her first prime minister. Joseph Stalin was the leader of the Soviet Union, and the Korean War was raging. Truss is the 15th premier of her unprecedented rule.
The prime minister said: “My thoughts – and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom – are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time.”

Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said on Twitter:
“All of us are feeling profoundly concerned at reports of Her Majesty’s health. My thoughts and wishes are with the Queen and all of the Royal Family at this time.”
