2. Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth Realms – 63 Years, 349 Days
Queen Elizabeth II is the reigning queen of the United Kingdom and the independent members of the commonwealth realm who still ceremonially recognize the British Crown. Born Elizabeth Alexandra Mary on the 21st of April 1926, she has reigned since the 6th of February, 1952. She rose to the throne when her father died while she was on a trip to Kenya. She was born in London as the eldest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of York, who later became King George the VI and Queen Elizabeth. Her father rose to the throne upon the abdication of her uncle, Edward VIII, whose impending nuptials with a divorced socialite threatened a constitutional crisis. She is the oldest living monarch of all time in British history.
