It's quite extraordinary. She's met so many heads of state over the years. They all came and went and yet she remains.

The first list I found of her meeting US presidents: https://time.com/5333083/queen-elizabeth-trump-visit-preside...

She didn't have to be elected..

She may not need to be elected but there has been on going push to do away with the monarchy for her whole reign. She is still around as head of state only because she has managed to not say anything politically divisive and not stick her foot in her mouth for 70ish years.
