The Queen Elizabeth II 70-year reign is the longest in English and British history . The reason for this is partly a matter of genes the Queen mother lived to 101 and the short life and reign of her father George VI, who died on February 6 1952. George VI was a lifelong worrier and smoker who famously never intended nor ever wished to be head of state. He became King because his elder brother, Edward VIII abdicated, and he saw out the stresses of the existential war with Germany. Britain’s longest serving monarch is also one of its “accidental” ones. Do you think that the monarch is accidental ?
