Happy, um, Thursday, Ma’am
Times Online - Queen becomes longest living British monarch
Queen Elizabeth II became the longest living monarch in British history today.
AT 1700 GMT today, the Queen, 81, surpassed the 81 years and 243 days of Queen Victoria, her great-great-grandmother, but there was no special event to commemorate the historic landmark.
“There’s nothing the Queen is doing to mark the occasion, others have noticed the date but it’s nothing that we were thinking about marking. This is just another normal working day,” said a Buckingham Palace spokeswoman. …
Perhaps the Queen will break off from her routine paperwork on September 9, 2015 when she will beat another of Queen Victoria’s records and become the Britain’s longest-reigning monarch.
She’ll make it. She’ll totally make it.
1. Queen Elizabeth II is the fortieth monarch since William the Conqueror
She’s Reagan! Or rather, Reagan was her. Amazing how things telescope when you’ve got term limits
