Elizabeth came to power when she was only 25 years old. She officially became queen in June of 1953. Royal historian Hugo Vickers says that during her rule, Queen Elizabeth has remained dutiful to her country. He adds that she is known as the “most visible public woman in the world.” On Wednesday, Elizabeth will beat a record set by her great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria.
