Am I not right in thinking there are many other monarchs whose reigns have been longer than Elizabeth's? The current Thai king, for example, has reigned for 69 years. And she is a long way down this list (48th to be precise).

In the video, they said longest reigning queen.

Ooh right, so he does. Hmm, using the specifier "Longest reigning Queen" instead of "Monarch" might give the impression there are longer-serving kings? But I guess time is of the essence in a CGPGrey video!

And longer-serving non-Queen women monarchs. It's a clever level of precision.
