Monarch British Queen Elizabeth Finally Quits Royal Duties by barnyolix(m): 9:53am On Dec 22, 2016
Queen Elizabeth has ruled for as long as many of us can remember. In 2015, she surpassed the reign of her great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria, to become the longest-reigning British monarch and the longest-reigning queen regent and female head of state in world history.

In October 2016, she became the longest currently reigning monarch and head of state following the death of King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand.

Officially known as Queen Elizabeth II of England, she is to step down as patron of more than 20 national organisations at the end of December 2016.

She celebrated her 90th birthday in April and following the lead of the Duke of Edinburgh who broke formal ties with some of his patronages when he turned 90 in 2011, she will be doing same.

This was the official statement released:

“At the end of the Queen’s 90th birthday year, Her Majesty will step down as patron from a number of national organisations. The patronages will be passed on to other members of the royal family in the coming months.”

This was announced by Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, December 20, it was however stressed that the monarch is still patron of more than 600 organizations.

Her replacement would be members of the Royal Family and the organisations involved include: Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, Barnardo’s, the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club and Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Association.
