The Queen has racked up an impressive six Guinness World Records during her 67-year reign.

She's earned a number of her titles for the amount of time she's spent on the throne - including longest reigning Queen - and a few others based on her bank account.

The Queen became the Wealthiest Queen back in 2012, when the Sunday Times estimated her wealth at £310 million.

The staggering figure comes from property, jewellery and art.

She also holds the record for most countries to be Head of State simultaneously.

Her Majesty's role, which is ceremonial meaning she has no political power, is Monarch of 16 Commonwealth states - which is 139million people.

These include Antigua & Barbuda, Australia, The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.

She also has the record for most currencies featuring the same individual , as her face is used on the coinage of 35 countries.

Queen Victoria appeared on 21 countries' coins, while King George V was on 19.

The rest of her records all relate to her impressively long reign.

She has two for being the longest ever reigning monarch in history - one for living and one for all time .

She took the title on September 9, 2015, when she overtook Queen Victoria - who reigned for 63 years 216 days from June 20, 1837, to January 22, 1901.

On January 23, 2015, she became the world's oldest monarch following the death of His Majesty King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia.

She was 88 at the time.

She also has the record for the oldest British Queen in history .
