Prime Ministers of Queen Elizabeth II
|
Queen Elizabeth II has been head of state of the United Kingdom and the 15 other Commonwealth Realms since 1952. The Queen has had ten British Prime Ministers, second only to George III, who had 13 (but who went insane and was represented by a Regent for the latter part of his reign), and equal to the number had by Queen Victoria. In a strange coincidence, she has also had ten Canadian Prime Ministers and ten Australian Prime Ministers.
