- ↑ For roughly one hundred and thirty years long, at fifty-nine years, Mary III was the longest reigning British monarch until she was surpassed by her great-great-grandson William V who reigned throughout the entirety of his life for seventy-five years long, the longest of any monarchs in history.
- ↑ Despite not officially being the son of a British monarch, Goerge I still held the title King of Great Britain and Ireland by manner of jure uxoris through his marriage to Mary III, the actual reigning monarch.
- ↑ At only eighteen days long, Victoria is the shortest-reigning British monarch in history with her reign being abruptly cut short by the birth of her cousin William V who was the son of her predecessor William IV.
