Queen Elizabeth is Britain's oldest monarch. On December 20, 2007 she overtook a record set by her great great grandmother, Queen Victoria, and experts of the British monarchy expect her to be on the throne for some time to come.
Queen Victoria (1837-1901) and Prince Albert (1840-61) Queen Victoria (r.1837-1901) was the first sovereign to rule from Buckingham Palace, acceding to the throne on 20 June 1837, following the death of her uncle William IV. Within 48 hours of taking up residence at the Palace on 13 July of that year, the Queen entertained a large party to dinner in the State Dining Room.
