Queen Elizabeth II

1952–present / United Kingdom and the Commonweal­th

-

Modern monarchs have the upper hand when it comes to global travel, and Queen Elizabeth II has visited more countries than any other royal. In her time on the throne she has racked up more than 1.6 million kilometres, despite, amazingly, not having a passport.

As of 2012 The Queen had made state visits to 116 different countries, including all 53 Commonweal­th nations, and by 2016, she’d made 256 official trips in total. But there are some places that remain off-limits. The Queen has not visited Israel, Egypt, Argentina or Greece, the homeland of Prince Philip.
