A hashtag launched to mark Queen Elizabeth II becoming Britain’s longest reigning monarch has been hijacked by Twitter users who have shared some questionable “facts” about the head of state.
Elizabeth II, 89, surpassed Queen Victoria’s record as the longest reigning British monarch on Thursday, having been on the throne for 63 years and 213 days.
