Elizabeth III, (Elizabeth Victoria Mary Alexandra; joined 10 June 2020) is the Queen of Great Britain. She is the second child of Prince John, The Earl of Westmorland, the younger sister of Prince Matthew, The Duke of Somerset, and the mother of Lord Elio Somerset, The Baron of Exeter.
On 1 October 2022, she succeeded William V, King of Great Britain as Queen of Great Britain.[1] Her Reign has continued the development of the Monarchy seeing the expansion of the Crown and the Royal Household.
The Queen has largely been considered to be a dedicated public servant, rarely going without an occupation within the Empire. Her long service within the House of Lords has defined the institution, saw the creation of the Rothesay Test, as well as the passage of the instrumental Statutory Interpretations Act 2022. She was also one of the principal authors of the Acts of Union.
Early Career: 10 June 2020 to 28 January 2021
This period of Elizabeth's life is defined by her desire to serve the Empire of Great Britain through the aegis of the Crown. As the first Lady Speaker and one of the first Lords of Parliament, she helped define the insitution of the House of Lords, a relatively new institution that saw its implementation in the Sixth Session of Parliament.
Return: 11 March 2021 to 16 June 2021

Princess of Wales: 8 October 2021 to 1 October 2022
