On Wednesday, Queen Elizabeth II will become the longest-reigning British monarch, surpassing her great-great grandmother Queen Victoria. In honor of the event, here are eight things you might not know about the two royals. 
  
 Queen Victoria 
  
 1. Her name wasn’t actually Victoria. 
  
 When Victoria was born her uncle, the Prince Regent (the future George IV) had prohibited the royal names Charlotte, Elizabeth or Georgina. Victoria was therefore named �?Alexandrina’ after her godfather, the Russian Tsar Alexander I. Her second name, Victoria, was after her mother, Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. For most of her childhood Victoria was therefore known as “Drina,” and up until her coronation, many in the general public were unsure of her official name. 
  
 2. Seven people had to die in order for her to become queen. 
  
 Victoria was the daughter of Edward, Duke of Kent, who was the fourth son of King George III. It therefore seemed very unlikely that Edward, or any of his children, would end up being the monarch. However, George III’s first son, George IV died without heirs (his daughter, Princess Charlotte, died during childbirth). George III’s second son, Frederick, Duke of York, died before George IV did, and had no legitimate children. Then William IV, George III’s third son, also died without surviving legitimate children (his two legitimate daughters died in infancy), and so the crown passed to Victoria, whose father had died when she was just a child. 
  
 During Victoria’s time, brightly colored dresses were worn for weddings. When Victoria wore white, it was considered too drab for a royal wedding, especially since she didn’t wear a crown, opting instead for an orange-blossom wreath. Although several other monarchs had worn white, it is Victoria who is credited with starting the trend, as a few years after her wedding, a popular ladies’ journal encouraged women to wear white. 
  
 4. She proposed to her husband. 
  
 Because she was queen, it was Victoria’s responsibility to propose to her husband Albert, not the other way around. In her diary, Victoria wrote that she called Albert into her bedroom and told him “it would make me too happy if he would consent to what I wished (to marry me); we embraced each other over and over again, and he was so kind, so affectionate … I really felt it was the happiest brightest moment in my life.” Victoria and Albert were married for over 20 years and had nine children. After he died, she wore mourning clothes for the rest of her life. 
  
 Queen Elizabeth II 
  
 5. She has the longest marriage of the British monarchy. 
  
 In 1947 Queen Elizabeth II married Prince Philip, six years before her coronation. She met her Prince Charming when she was only 13 years old, and the two have been happily married now for 68 years. When Queen Elizabeth II was crowned in 1953, it was the first and so far only time in British history where the presumed heir to the throne wasn’t actually single. Even the queens that preceded her did not marry until after they were crowned, if they got married at all. 
  
 Although English royals have a history of being devoted to their dogs, no world leader in history has been as widely identified with their pets as Queen Elizabeth II is with her corgis. “My corgis are my family,” she has said. Since she feeds the corgis herself and takes them on walks whenever possible, her corgis have become a symbol for her relatability with the general population of Britain. Her beloved dogs also serve to bring her down to earth in the eyes of the public. The Queen personally oversaw a corgi breeding program based in Windsor Castle since the 1950s, but it doesn’t look like any more corgi puppies are in the works anymore. The Royal press secretary would not comment on reports that the Queen stopped breeding her corgis, but she now has only two of them left: Holly and Willow. 
  
 7. She’s “undocumented.” 
  
 The Queen has visited more countries than any other British monarch (reportedly more than 116), even though she doesn’t have a passport. The cover of the British passport features the Royal Arms, and followed by the words “Her Britannic Majesty’s Secretary of State requests and requires in the name of Her Majesty all those whom it may concern to allow the bearer to pass freely without let or hindrance and to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary.” Since the passport is issued in the Queen’s name, she is not required to have one to travel outside of Britain. Unfortunately this is a perk only the Queen gets; even Prince William and Kate Middleton need an official I.D. to jetset. 
  
 8. She can fix your truck. 
  
 Before she was crowned Queen of England, 18-year-old Princess Elizabeth joined the Women’s Auxiliary Territorial Service during World War II. Ditching her usual colorful dresses for some military overalls, Second Subaltern Elizabeth Windsor went to London to train as a mechanic and truck driver. Apparently she begged her father (the King at the time) for several months to let her help in the war effort before he finally gave in. ||||| Young and carefree! On June 2, 1953, Queen Elizabeth became, well, queen -- that's 63 years ago today. Holy smokes! Both Kensington Palace and Clarence House have tweeted photos from Queen Elizabeth's coronation day when she was only 25 years ago, and wow! How far she's come! 
  
 Here, the queen, who's now 90 years young, is seen with Prince Philip (who doesn't look much different now!). Look at that smile! And that body language! There's no mistaking that this was a woman who just took reign.

 Incredible. And here's another one of the queen reflecting on the job she'd just been given:

 Wow. At the time, it's doubtful that Queen Elizabeth seemed uneasy or a little nervous to anyone, but looking at these photos, compared with her body language and demeanor now, she seems to have come so far!

 It's pretty unbelievable to think that Elizabeth has been queen for this long. She was just a kid when she took on the role. Prince Charles is 67! When he becomes king, he'll have experienced so much more life than his mother did at her coronation. No doubt, his body language will be much different. 
  
 Kensington Palace and Clarence House are both great at sharing photos of the royal family. But, it's always a treat when they post throwback photos. Happy anniversary, Queen Elizabeth. Here's to many more years!

 Who's more famous — Queen Elizabeth II or photographer Annie Leibovitz? 
  
 It's a toss-up. Let's just say the queen has been famous for longer: She turned 90 in April and now Britain is getting ready to celebrate her official birthday on Saturday at the annual Trooping the Colour parade and pageant. 
  
 But pair America's queen of celebrity portrait photography and the British queen — plus, her husband of 68 years, Prince Philip — and you have a boffo combo of fame and success. 
  
 No doubt, the media mavens at Buckingham Palace were aware of that when Leibovitz was hired to photograph the queen to mark her 90th — an unprecedented royal birthday. As the longest-serving British monarch (64 years and counting on the throne), the queen is also the oldest monarch ever to reign in the British isles.

 Early Friday in London (Thursday evening ET), the palace released the fourth and final Leibovitz photo portrait of the queen, following three other pictures released in April, the month of her actual birthday. 
  
 This last photo, taken at Windsor Castle just after Easter, is of the queen with the Duke of Edinburgh, who turns 95 on Friday and who is considered by historians and royal watchers the key to her success as a monarch. Together, they make up the longest-married (69 years in November) monarch-and-consort in British history. 
  
 Like the earlier photos, this one, too, displayed Leibovitz' widely-acclaimed lush style combined with her empathetic insight. The earlier photos featured the queen at Windsor Castle, with her beloved dogs, with her great-grandchildren and youngest grandchildren, and with her only daughter, Princess Anne the Princess Royal.

 The latter picture captured the warmth of the relationship between mother and daughter, something not usually on display, so it was a new glimpse for the British of two people they are used to seeing in different circumstances. The picture of the queen surrounded by the youngest and cutest of her many descendants had the look and patina of an Old Master painting, but with a sense of humor. 
  
 Philip's 95th birthday is yet another record, but he generally prefers to keep his own celebration low-key so as not to interfere with the queen's official birthday hoopla. But no doubt it will be mentioned at the annual Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral on Friday.

 Meanwhile, central London is already dripping with bunting and Union Jacks all the way down The Mall and above Regent Street and Oxford Street in advance of the queen's birthday celebrations on Saturday. 
  
 Most of the royal family, including great-grandson and future king Prince George, are expected to turn out, as is traditional, for the colorful Trooping pageantry; later, they will join the queen on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch the usual flypast of RAF jets. 
  
 On Sunday, the queen, Prince Philip, Prince William and Duchess Kate and Prince Harry will join an expected 10,000 representatives of charities and other organizations for the Patron’s Lunch, a picnic on The Mall organized by the queen’s eldest grandson, Peter Phillips. 
  
 It's expected to rain, naturally. But guests will be issued both a plastic rain poncho and sunscreen cream just in case.

 WATCH: 90 and Still the Boss! Breaking Down Queen Elizabeth's Five Favorite Things! 
  
 We know from Prince Harry that Queen Elizabeth is "the boss" . But who does the boss turn to when she needs someone to help keep her strong?The answer, of course, is her husband of 68 years, Prince Philip . Now, as the monarch prepares to celebrate her 90th birthday on April 21 , she leans more heavily than ever on her lifelong partner.Speaking to PEOPLE in this week's issue, Lady Pamela Hicks – a bridesmaid at the couple's 1947 wedding – says, "I can think of very few couples as united as they are." Princess Elizabeth was just a teenager when she fell in love with the Greek-born Royal Navy officer, whom Hicks describes as "every girl's dream Viking prince."For more on the Queen and Prince Philip, pick up this week's issue of PEOPLEToday, the nonagenarian couple (Philip will be 95 on June 10) enjoy their favorite shared interest together: collecting wildlife art, picnics in the Scottish heather and grilling with a custom barbecue cart designed by Philip complete with velvet-lined drawers for their favorite liquor. (Gin-and-Dubonnet cocktails for her, of course.)Says Robert Hardman, writer for the recent ITV documentary Our Queen at 90 , "it's the longest royal marriage in history. They don't have anything left to prove." |||||
Friday is Prince Philip's 95th birthday—a fitting day to see the release of the final Annie Leibovitz photo of his wife, Queen Elizabeth II, with him smiling sweetly by her side. The fourth photo of the queen in the Leibovitz four-photo series, commissioned to celebrate Elizabeth's 90th birthday in April, shows the royal couple depicted in what USA Today describes as the celebrity photographer's "widely acclaimed lush style combined with her empathetic insight." The portrait of the pastel-adorned pair, taken shortly after Easter at Windsor Castle, was released just as the UK's official celebration of Elizabeth's birthday kicks off. The other three photos, seen here, were unveiled in April. The couple has been married for nearly 69 years—the most enduring marriage ever for a British monarch, per PBS. "It's the longest royal marriage in history," a writer for a recent documentary on the queen tells People. A tweet from the official Royal Family account on Thursday paid tribute to their long love affair, quoting the queen as saying: "He has, quite simply, been my strength & stay all these years." One more interesting factoid from PBS: Elizabeth remains the only Brit who wasn't single at his or her coronation ceremony. (Click to see iconic photos from that ceremony.)
