What the petition asks
Grant HM Elizabeth II the posthumous title Elizabeth the Great.
HM Elizabeth II gave her whole life in the service of our country, in 70 years becoming the longest reigning monarch in British history. She was also the second longest reigning monarch in world history, after Louis XIV of France. It is only fitting that she should be given the posthumous title Elizabeth the Great.
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
We can't accept petitions that relate to honours and appointments, which includes calling for a monarch to be given a particular title.
