It's mind-boggling to me to think about how long 70 years of reign actually is. How many world leaders she has seen come and go. How much the world changed since then.

She reigned for about 1/3rd of the time America has existed. Incredible.

>>kortex+G4
Closer to a fourth, but still impressive.

About 30%, actually: The US constitution came into effect in 1789, the Queen took the throne in 1952.

(2022 - 1952) / (2022 - 1789) = 0.30

You're right if one starts counting from the declaration of independence, however, yielding 28.5%.
