For Queen Elizabeth II, we say “Queen Elizabeth the second” /ˈsɛkənd/.

The Succession to the Crown Act passed in 2013 states that the eldest child of the monarch, regardless of sex, would be the one ruling. Before that, there was a “male‑preference” criterion, which means that a boy would access to the throne first before a girl even if she was older.
