Second Longest ReignOur current Queen, Elizabeth II, was 27 when she was crowned, so Victoria had a 10 year head start. In an age where it had become normal for most people to retire at 60, 65, or often younger, our Queen seems to work harder than many of her subjects of half her age. The job undoubtedly has its perks and privileges, but also more than its fair share of duties.
