It felt like the curtain was coming down on the world as we know it when Queen Elizabeth II – Britain’s longest-serving monarch – died today at the age of 96.

It has been such a long journey since she took the throne in 1952. And though she was thrust into the role as queen aged only 25, she buckled down to the mighty task.

During her 70 years on the throne, she was solidly committed to her duty, as her Accession Day message for her Platinum Jubilee shows: “As we mark this anniversary, it gives me pleasure to renew to you the pledge I gave in 1947 that my life will always be devoted to your service.”

Hence, she reigned as a beloved figure.

Over the past 10 years of tracking, the Queen has consistently been the most popular member of the royal family, according to YouGov, a London-based international research data and analytics group.

YouGov royal favorability data published on her platinum jubilee showed that eight in 10 people (81%) held a positive opinion of the Queen, versus 12 percent who saw her negatively, giving the monarch a net score of +69.

Notably, she held a positive net favorability across all age groups, including the youngest adults who are considered as the least likely to want the UK to remain a monarchy.

Let’s check the keywords in her life to have a deeper look at her.
