In celebration of her 23,226th day as monarch, media outlets and royal watchers alike (yes, they’re a thing) have been taking to twitter to post Lizzie-related #QueenFacts, such as: she’s outlasted 12 U.S. presidents, seven different popes, and 40 Italian prime ministerial terms. I MEAN, the woman has stamina.
For her Coronation, Liz said she regretted not dressing up as a giant crab, walking sideways, and clacking her massive claw.

The Queen is actually two small queens stacked on top of one other. They rotate on an annual basis. #queenfacts

And then came a breakaway faction sharing Freddie Mercury facts, because THE QUEEN IS LAME BUT QUEEN IS COOL. Or something.
