[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Seoyul] Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom has become the second longest-reigning monarch in world history, following France's Louis XIV.
Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne at the age of 25 on February 6, 1952, and as of the 13th (local time), her reign has lasted 70 years and 127 days. This is the second longest period after France's Louis XIV, who ascended the throne in 1643 at the age of 4 and reigned for 72 years and 110 days until 1715. However, the BBC reported that Louis XIV began his personal rule in 1661.
The Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who held the second place, was pushed to third. He reigned for 70 years and 126 days and passed away in October 2016.
