Although Queen Elizabeth was 96 years old, it was still a bit of a shock o hear of her death. She was the longest reigning British monarch—th vast majority of British citizens have known no other monarch— and her son, Charles is now the oldest person in history to ascend the British throne. She became the heir apparent when her uncle married an American and abdicated, and became queen in her twenties. In 1983, she visited the Bay Area. Elizabeth was not the longest reining monarch ;the longest is over 80 years I believe. She made a good speech during the pandemic about everyone being together again eventually. Black tea was her favorite tea.
