Share:
The Commonwealth of Nations is preparing celebrations to mark what would have been Queen Elizabeth II's 100th birthday. The late monarch served as the longest-reigning sovereign in British history, ruling for 70 years and 214 days until her death in September 2022. The Commonwealth, a voluntary association of 56 member countries including former British colonies and territories, maintains ceremonial ties to the British crown, with many members recognizing the British monarch as their head of state.
