Elizabeth II, the Queen of the United Kingdom who celebrates her platinum jubilee this year, now becomes the second-longest ruling monarch in the world.

With her ascension to the throne taking place on 2 February 1952, this Sunday the length of Elizabeth II’s reign surpasses that of Thailand’s King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who ruled his country from 1946 to 2016.

According to The Nation, the Thai monarch’s reign lasted for 70 years and 126 days, until his death in 2016 at the age of 88.
