From Breit Bart:
“Zero to 370 million: Queen
Elizabeth II in numbers”
During her record-breaking reign,
Queen Elizabeth II racked up an array of statistics. Here are some numbers
associated with her life and reign:
0 She was a frequent traveler, but she had no
passport as she was the one who issued the document. Her name was on the
passports of all her subjects. She also did not have a driving licence for the
same reason.
1 The number of times she
allowed television cameras to document her private life: “Royal Family”,
broadcast in 1969.
2 Birthdays: her actual
birthday, on April 21, and the official birthday, Trooping the Colour,
celebrated with a military parade and ceremonial fly-past in June every year.
4 The age at which the
queen received her first pony — “Peggy” — a present from her grandfather King
George V, and the start of her lifelong passion for riding.
7 The number of
Archbishops of Canterbury who were spiritual leaders of the Church of England
while she was supreme governor. The first was Geoffrey Fisher, who officiated
her wedding in 1947 and coronation in 1953. The last was Justin Welby.
15 The number of British
prime ministers to serve under her as head of state since the beginning of her
reign. The first was Winston Churchill and the last was Liz Truss.

that preceded her since king William I in 1066.

that Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, were married.
117 The countries visited
by Elizabeth, who travelled nearly 1.1 million miles (1.7 million kilometres)

2002, she travelled more than 30,000 miles around the UK and the world.

1,000 The number of boats
from across the UK, the Commonwealth and the world assembled on the River
Thames in London to mark the Queen’s 60th year on the throne in 2012. Organisers
called it the largest gathering of its type on the Thames since the reign of
Charles II more than three centuries earlier.

garden parties alone have been attended by more than 1.45 million people during
her reign.
33,446,430 The duration in
minutes of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign when she became Britain’s longest-serving
monarch at around 5:30 pm on September 9, 2015, beating her ancestor Queen
Victoria.
370,000,000 Net worth in
pounds sterling of the queen, according to the Sunday Times Rich List in 2022,
up £5 million on the previous year. According to some calculations, she
was the 12th richest global monarch. Forbes Magazine named her the 70th
most powerful woman in 2021.
