At age 96, Elizabeth is Britain's longest-reigning monarch. She ascended to the throne in 1952 and, in June, celebrated her Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years as queen.
Just heard on the news she was the longest running queen ever, I knew she was one of those ultra runner losers. You're just walking up hills for 2 days straight Lizzie, you're fooling no-one.
This is horrible news. We will now have non-stop coverage for the next week of her life and then her funeral.
"The queen was well-known for her vibrant personality. She would frequently speak positively about the color blue and once broke into laughter at the sight of the royal corgis at play. We go now to CNN's British correspondent, Mate Cheerio, for more details on that particularly joyous occasion."

Props to the Queen. She is legendary. While its a strange tradition indeed, it was she who more or less recognized that fact, and transformed the monarchy into a philanthropic juggernaut. She was a women for others and insisted on her family having the same values as much as possible. The two grandkids seem to walk the walk. She did all this starting when stalin was still in power! Lets be honest, none of you would give up the tradition if in her place, but <1% would use it for good. Good on her man.
