Queen Elizabeth II (1926–2022) was the British queen when from 1952. This is 2 years after India was declared a republic. Her tenure overlapped with 18 Indian presidents, 15 elected, and 3 actings. I had some curious questions in my mind after considering this fact. Questions like who was heading Delhi when Elizabeth I was a queen. Who was the second longest serving English monarch and who was the Ruler of Delhi who saw the most number of monarchs heading London? I compiled a list of heads of Delhi and London from two sources and tried to answer some of the questions. The accuracy of the analysis is based on the accuracy of the information from these two sources.
