Queen Elizabeth II Quotes: What Britain’s Longest Reigning Monarch Said Throughout 65 Years

Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning British monarch, will be passing another milestone Monday by marking 65 years on the British throne. She is the first British monarch to celebrate their Sapphire Jubilee.

 While the queen’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012 was a multinational celebration, she is reported to commemorate the Sapphire Jubilee in private at her Sandringham Estate, Norfolk. There are no official engagements planned for the milestone of the 90-year-old, who ascended the throne in 1952 after her father King George VI’s death.
