So, today is the day that Queen Elizabeth becomes the longest reigning British monarch ever, surpassing my beloved Vicky. (Not that I bear her any ill will for that, obviously).
I don't know a lot about the Queen (or the royal family, or UK politics at all), but I feel weirdly close to her (in a totally insane way) having seen her crown jewels, coronation video, residence in Scotland (I stood in a room she routinely stands in!) and having been just outside Buckingham Palace while she was inside. That's closer than I've ever been to Obama, I can tell you that. So I wanted to mark the occasion.
Congrats Liz!
