LONDON, UK - APRIL 21, 2026: British King Charles III and Queen Camilla visited the British Museum on Tuesday, April 21, to review the final design of a planned national memorial to Queen Elizabeth II in London.The monarch was accompanied by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer during the visit, which forms part of ongoing efforts to commemorate Britain’s longest-reigning sovereign.The visit coincided with what would have been the 100th birthday of Queen Elizabeth II, who died in September 2022 after a record-breaking 70-year reign.Born on April 21, 1926, Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne upon the death of her father, King George VI, on Feb. 6, 1952.In 2015, she became the longest-serving British monarch in history, exceeding even the reign of her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria, who sat on the throne for 63 years and seven months.Elizabeth was also the first-ever British monarch to see the platinum jubilee, honoring her 70 years on the throne.She was the only female royal family member to have entered the armed forces.(Footage by Muhammed Yaylalı/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
