Gordon G. sent this along. I hope you’ve watched The Crown – season 3 is now on Netflix.
England’s current queen has been the head of state long enough that many people either don’t remember or haven’t been around long enough to witness anyone else on the throne other than Her Majesty.
Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne after her father died in 1952. Although she succeeded him the same day he passed away. Her official coronation was held a year and a half later. The reason is due to the tradition of allowing an appropriate length of time between a monarch’s passing and holding a celebration to crown their heir.
Here are pictures of the Presidents she has met. It makes me feel kind of old…well maybe time tested.
