When she died, Queen Elizabeth was the most widely traveled British head of state and the longest-married British monarch. She had ruled for longer than any other monarch in British history, becoming a much-loved and respected figure during her decades-long reign. She reached the milestone of 70 years on the throne on Feb. 6, 2022, celebrating with the Platinum Jubilee in June to mark the occasion.Duncan Larcombe, royal author and Fox News royal contributor, previously noted that the U.K.'s love for Her Majesty is notably one of her "biggest achievements."

"There is something quite majestic and almost mystical about the fact that the British royal family not only still exists, but they appear to still be incredibly loved and incredibly relevant to British society," he told Fox News Digital. "And no one could have really predicted that. I mean, that's possibly one of the biggest achievements for Queen Elizabeth at this stage."

他在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示:“英国王室不仅仍然存在，而且似乎仍然受到人们的喜爱，与英国社会有着不可思议的关联，这是一件非常庄严和近乎神秘的事情。没有人能真正预测到这一点。我的意思是，这可能是伊丽莎白女王现阶段最大的成就之一。”
