It is Queen Elizabeth’s first birthday since having passed away

Apr 21 2023

The world was shocked last September, 2023 after Queen Elizabeth II, the longest serving UK monarch, passed away at the age of 96.

Today, the 21st of April 2023, marks the first birthday the Queen would have celebrated since having passed away.

Queen Elizabeth was queen regnant of 32 sovereign states during her lifetime and was the longest verified reign of any female head of state in history.

She was succeeded by her eldest son Charles III, who became the oldest person to accede to the British throne at the age of 73. He was also, quite by default, the longest serving heir apparent and Prince of Wales in British history. His coronation will be taking place on May 6th 2023.

Since the queen’s passing, the royal family has been once again at the centre of media attention. Most notably, Prince Harry’s book ‘Spare’ revealed and alleged various details from within the royal family.

Interest in the royal family also somewhat spiked this past year, with series like ‘The Crown’ highlighting more of Queen Elizabeth’s life.
