Queen Elizabeth II was the queen of the UK and the other Commonwealth realms. She reigned for 70 years and seven months, which is the and was the longest reign of any British monarch in history. She was revered by her subjects for her administrative acumen and unequivocal empathy towards all factions of the society. Mesmerized by her larger-than-life persona, filmmaker Michael Waldman once quipped, “The more time I spent filming our queen, the more I was struck by the strange idiosyncrasies of her life.” The fact that she was the only female royal to have joined the military services and served in the military during ‘World War II,’ bears testimony to her loyalty and devotion towards her country and countrymen. Post the tumultuous phase of the ‘Second World War,’ Elizabeth ushered England into an era of hope and prosperity. Patron of innumerable charitable organizations, Elizabeth II has also been subjected to various controversies. She faced media criticism after the breakdowns of her children's marriages and the death of her former daughter-in-law Diana, Princess of Wales.
