Queen Elizabeth II



Queen Elizabeth II (b. 1926), full name Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, is the Queen of England (and the United Kingdom as a whole and fourteen other states/territories) and has reigned since 1952. Her Majesty takes an active interest in affairs of state, but more often avoids politics and takes a primarily ceremonial role. One example is her attendance at the Royal Variety Performance. At the conclusion of the 1977 performance, she personally congratulated Jim Henson and his puppeteers.

Decades later, Kermit the Frog was one of the many celebrities paying their respects during the Golden Jubilee celebrating her fiftieth year on the throne.
