Queen Elizabeth II is the fourth longest-serving monarch in world history after overtaking ancient Mayan ruler K’inich Janaab’ Pakal.
The queen was crowned the United Kingdom’s monarch on June 2, 1953, at 27 years old, taking over for her father King George VI, who died months before on Feb. 6. She overtook the Mayan monarch on Wednesday. The queen has been a monarch for 68 years and 35 days, according to People.
The queen is the longest-serving ruler in U.K. history, claiming that title in September 2015. She is roughly four years away from claiming the world title, currently held by King Louis XIV of France, who ascended to the throne at age 4 on May 14, 1643, and reigned for 72 years and 110 days.
The queen celebrated her Sapphire Jubilee, marking 65 years on the throne, in February 2017. She has reportedly been considering resigning her post as the United Kingdom’s monarch and turning over her responsibilities to her son, Prince Charles.
The queen is 93 years old and is considering giving up the crown in the next two years at age 95. Prince Charles, 71, would assume the throne. He has already taken over some of the queen’s royal duties as she steps back from public life.
