Centenary of the life of
Queen Elizabeth II

Queen Elizabeth II was born on April 21, 1926, and became one of the most significant figures in British history. She served as the queen of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms from February 6, 1952, until her death in 2022.

Her reign lasted for an impressive 70 years and 214 days, making it the longest of any British monarch and the longest of any queen regnant in history.

This remarkable duration is a testimony to the political, social, and cultural changes that took place during her time on the throne, a period often referred to as the New Elizabethan Age.


Events will take place across the United Kingdom during 2026 to mark the Centenary of the Birth of Queen Elizabeth II.
