Given the history of male dominance of all things powerful, it may come as a surprise to some to know that the 3 longest serving monarchs in British history have all been women. But no one has rocked that throne like Queen Elizabeth II aka Queen Lizzy or is expected to ever do so again. For 70 years Queen Elizabeth has performed her duty as head of state of the UK with the upmost focus on service and duty. For most of us she is the only monarch we've ever known since she has been present for most the major events over the last nearly 100 years. As head of state she has appointed 15 Prime Ministers from the giant that was Winston Churchill to the current and 3rd female prime minster Liz Truss. She both witnessed and served during World War 2, was present during the UK joining of the European Union, 911, Brexit, Covid-Pandemic and many more historic events in-between. But it hasn't always been smooth sailing during her reign - the loss of princess Diana had a major negative impact on the royal family and the recent family drama with Prince Harry and Meghan Markel as well as that of her favourite son prince Andrew only added to that strain. Her successor prince Charles now takes on the reigns as King Charles III, how long he will reign and whether the royal family continues over the coming generations we do not know. But whether you loved her or loathed her for whatever reason, what can't be denied is that for 70 years she has been the constant that we've all come to know and her exit from the big stage will leave some vary big shoes to fill as her commitment to public duty was unparalleled. So join us in the episode where we discuss the end of the 2nd Elizabethan Era.
