Hardworking monarch
HER majesty the Queen has just celebrated her 89th birthday and come September she will become the longest reigning British monarch and also the longest reigning female monarch in history.
There can be very few royals who work half as hard as the Queen.
She may have made some concessions to her age but she is still extremely active and energetic and very interested in people.
