The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral, her Scottish estate, on Thursday afternoon following more than seven decades in service of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth. She ascended the throne after the death of George VI on February 6, 1952, and became a serene and reassuring presence for Britons throughout her time on the throne. Her 70-year reign made her the longest-reigning monarch in British history.
Her descendants include her four children, eight grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren.
