Do you think Elizabeth II will beat out Louie XIV to become the longest reigning verified monarch in history?

[RyanEC]

This year is Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee (meaning she has reigned for 70 years.)
The first British monarch to reign long enough to have one.
If Elizabeth II is still alive on May 27th 2024 she will have a longer reign then French king Louie XIV who ruled France from 1643 until 1715.

I'll cheer for her.
It will be the last chance in the history of our world.
No offense, @julie4

[RyanEC]

Yes @Julie4 I hope this wouldn’t offend you.

[RyanEC]

What do you by last chance in the history of our world?
Do you mean of the generation of people who are alive now?

[Andres77]

What other monarchy is even close?
The world as we know it will cease to exist within the decade.
Yes, she's the last chance to beat old Louis

[Julie4]

there is no offense haha. Honestly I wish her, it will mean that she is still alive and it is all the happiness that I wish her.

I have to be a bad person to wish someone dead, so in that sense I hope she beats Louis.

[madgoat]

I get the impression she's feeling her age now. Not sure she'll last another couple of years. But she's already beaten Victoria.

[KostasKouvalis]

Yeah, I think so. She seems to be in good health. They seem to be taking really good care of her.

[RyanEC]

True, she’s almost there.

[andreasderjuengere]

She's a nice little lady. I wish the best of luck for her to top the list.

How old was Louis XIV, when he came to the throne?

Liz served in the military during the war, before she became queen.

[RyanEC]

I think he was born at some point in the 1630s so he was like preteen age when he became king.

“While Princess Elizabeth spent the majority of her days at the training facility, it was close enough to Windsor Castle that the princess would return there each evening rather than sleep at the camp with her fellow ATS members.”

Yeah. She was really down in the trenches.

[mandyfire98]

She'll outlive us all

[Andres77]

Seems like, no?

[OddBeMe]

Not if Camilla has anything to do with it.
