Mrs. Dursley was thin and blonde and had. nearly twice the usual amount of neck, which came in very useful as she. spent so much of her time craning over garden fences, spying on the. neighbors. The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their. opinion there was no finer boy anywhere.
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.
Her 62 years on the throne still leave her some way short of being the worldâs longest-reigning current monarch. That distinction goes to Thailandâs king, Bhumibol Adulyadej, who will celebrate 69 years on the throne in June. He was just 18 when he became king.
