Did you know that on September 10, 2015, at the age of 89, Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor will surpass Victoria, R I, as the longest-reigning monarch in British and Commonwealth history (as well as the longest-reigning female monarch in world history). Providence has provided History with an outstanding and respectable example of a wise Sovereign Monarch! Standing only 5 feet 4 inches tall, Her Majesty towers head and shoulders above all the leaders that are her peers as Head of State in experience, and no doubt wisdom. She, not the prime ministers, is the legal Commander in Chief of all the military within the Realms of which she is Sovereign. There is a reason they are called Her Majestys Armed Forces. She came to the throne on February 6, 1952 when Sir Winston Churchill was in his second term as the Prime Minister of the UK. President Harry S Truman was in his second term of his administration. Monarch and Sovereign, Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Barbados, The Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, The Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize and Saint Kitts and Nevis rules and reigns over 11,592,203 square miles, peopled by some 135,551,568 souls. If combined into one united kingdom, under one flag, it would be the largest, third most populace nation on Earth. These totals do not include the rest of the Commonwealth of Nations (the former member of the British Empire who have become republics) of which she is still the Ceremonial Head and Leader. On February 6, 2012, Her Majesty celebrated her 60th year on the throne. Well done, my lady! GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!
