List of Prime Ministers of Queen Elizabeth II

Queen Elizabeth II with Prime Minister of Australia Robert Menzies during her first visit to Australia in 1954

Since succeeding her father on 6 February 1952, Queen Elizabeth II has been head of state of 32 different Commonwealth realms. Currently, there are 16 realms. With the Westminster system of government being a legacy of former British colonial possession, in each realm the Queen's government is headed by a Prime Minister. In Commonwealth realms appointment and dismissal of Prime Ministers are common reserve powers that can be exercised by the Queen or, in their vice-regal capacities, her Governors-General.

Elizabeth has had 12 British Prime Ministers, second only to George III, who had 14, and two more than the number appointed by Queen Victoria. She has also had 14 New Zealand Prime Ministers, 13 Australian Prime Ministers and 11 Canadian Prime Ministers.

This list does not cover Commonwealth nations that are not Commonwealth realms, i.e. those that do not have the Queen as head of state, nor does it cover holders of offices of 'Prime Minister' in colonies or sub-national entities. Prime Ministers of nations that have ceased to be Commonwealth realms during the Queen's reign are listed in the second section.
