According to The Indian Express, Elizabeth spent more than seven decades on the throne as the UK rebuilt from war, lost an empire, transformed its economy and both entered and left the European Union. She was a constant presence, the only monarch most Britons have ever known, and she guided the institution of the monarchy through choppy waters.
