Queen of England Set To Become Longest-Serving Monarch

Queen Elizabeth II will make history later today by becoming Britain's longest-reigning monarch.The Queen will break the record previously held by her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria whose reign, according to Buckingham Palace, lasted for 23,226 days, 16 hours and 23 minutes - or around 63 years and 216 days.
Princess Elizabeth became Queen when she was only 25 years of age, on 6 February 1952, after her father died.
It is thought Queen Elizabeth II will break Queen Victoria's record at around 5.30pm this afternoon, but it's difficult to pinpoint a precise time because the exact moment of her father's death is not known.
It is inevitable that comparisons will be made between the two women, and some experts argue Queen Victoria would become an ideal role model for her great great granddaughter.
