In 2015, she became the longest-serving British monarch surpassing her great-great grandmother Queen Victoria.<\/p>\n<p>On November 20, 1947, she married Philip Mountbatten, a former prince of Greece and Denmark and commander in the British Army, at Westminster Abbey. The coupe had four children together, Charles, Prince of Wales; Anne, Princess Royal; Prince Andrew, Duke of York; and Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex.<\/p>\n<p>Prince Charles will assume the throne immediately, though the coronation ceremony will typically happen a year later, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/royals\/prince-charles-wont-wear-crown-until-coronoation-how-british-royal-succession-works\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>PEOPLE<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Queen is the <span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif\">second-longest reigning monarch in history, following French King Louis XIV <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2022\/06\/13\/1104560863\/queen-elizabeth-ii-is-the-second-longest-reigning-monarch-in-history#:~:text=Queen%20Elizabeth%20II%20is%20the,reigning%20monarch%20in%20history%20%3A%20NPR&amp;text=Press-,Queen%20Elizabeth%20II%20is%20the%20second%2Dlongest%20reigning%20monarch%20in,to%20French%20King%20Louis%20XIV.\" target=\"_blank\">who reigned<\/a> for 72 years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Over her reign, she remarkably never fell victim to the pitfalls that wealth and privilege can bring.
