Rejected petition HM Elizabeth II should be given the posthumous title Elizabeth the Great.
Rejected on
Grant HM Elizabeth II the posthumous title Elizabeth the Great.
HM Elizabeth II gave her whole life in the service of our country, in 70 years becoming the longest reigning monarch in British history. She was also the second longest reigning monarch in world history, after Louis XIV of France. It is only fitting that she should be given the posthumous title Elizabeth the Great.
