News of Queen Elizabeth IIs Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022 have seemingly silenced rumors that Her Majesty has any plans to step down at 95 to make way for Prince Charles .

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport announced Thursday that the nation will come together for a truly historic four-day bank holiday starting on June 2, 2022, to commemorate the queens 70-year reign.

It is the first time any British monarch has reached this historic milestone, the release confirmed.

Her Majestys Platinum Jubilee will be a truly historic moment and one that deserves a celebration to remember, Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said in the announcement.

He added that the nation will put on a spectacular, once-in-a-generation show that mixes the best of British ceremonial splendour with cutting edge art and technology.
