Queen Elizabeth II became Head of the Commonwealth in 1952, which makes her the world’s longest-reigning queen.

She is, in fact, renowned for her sharp wit and, at times, biting humour.

Whether she’s having a laugh to herself or providing amusement for others, she has a great sense of humour on her. Here are some iconic moments, where she has told a hilarious joke, thrown shade at someone, or is just generally doing amusing things.
