Elizabeth II

Britain's longest-reigning monarch, whose 70-year reign witnessed the end of empire, the Cold War, the transformation of the Commonwealth, and profound social and technological change. A constant and steadying presence through fifteen prime ministers from Winston Churchill to Liz Truss, she adapted the monarchy to a changing world while maintaining its dignity. She served as a driver and mechanic in the Second World War before becoming queen at 25.
