Queen Elizabeth II, who is on the throne for 68 years and 309 days at this moment, has outlasted the longest-reigning occupant of the Roman imperial throne, Constantine VIII (30 III 962 - 11 XI 1028), whose tenure went on for 66 years and 226 days.
She's still not the longest-reigning monarch in European history... That would be Louis XIV, who sat on the throne for 72 years. Kinda helps that he was crowned at the age of 4.
Her reign is also shorter than that of King Rama IX of Thailand and Johann II of Liechtenstein.

She'll have them all beat in 4 years, though!

So next year her reign will have been longer than the existence of the USSR
