It’s not “Queen of England”. The correct way is Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and other Commonwealth countries.

***** Yes, that's why I included it. In fact, on British and Canadian (and probably other country's) coins, you'll see some sort of abbreviation for "Fidei Defensor", which is the phrase in Latin.
This story is true... A couple of years ago, in the autumn of 2016, I and a small party of friends were cycling around the grounds of the Balmoral Estate, the Highland holiday home of the Queen. Her Majesty graciously allows members of the public, otherwise known as proles, to use the grounds of Balmoral for walking and cycling excursions, limiting that usage, of course, to whatever does not disturb the pursuits of herself and/or her guests. There was a shooting party going on up a hill that we weren't trying to access, so that didn't bother us. However, all day long, we were passed by Range Rovers (all the same colour) on the shooting tracks we were cycling over. Now, when one is out in the country, it is only civil to try to be courteous, so we always waved at these Range Rovers. The tweed jacketed occupants always waved back. It soon became apparent that these people were Royal protection officers, making sure that the proles (ourselves) didn't overstep the mark, whatever that mark might be. By mid afternoon, I was knackered, being unfit and overweight,so I was lying flat out in the heather by the side of the shooting track. The rest of my party were taking a breather as well, leaning on their bikes beside the roadway, when yet another Range Rover (same colour) came tootling along the track. I really couldn't face getting up to wave at it, so I merely raised my head from it's heather bed and waggled my knees at the vehicle. It wasn't until the vehicle was right beside me that I realised that this particular Range Rover was being driven by an elderly lady, who very sensibly did not remove her hands from the steering wheel to acknowledge my greeting, but merely raised two fingers to me. The rest of my party also waved at the occupants of the vehicle and received similar acknowledgement from the driver. After the Range Rover had passed there was a stunned silence for a couple of seconds and then one of our party asked of nobody in particular, 'That was the Queen wasn't it?...' and we agreed that yes, indeed, that was the Queen. This is why I can claim, in all truthfulness, that in over sixty years of my life, the sole contact I have had with Her Majesty the Queen is the time I loyally waggled my knees at her and she graciously acknowledged my gesture by regally raising two fingers to me in reply....

no, despite what some may believe, the president cannot issue a pardon to oneself, and while it is true that the president can't be arrested until after convicted by congress (with the Chief Justice presiding over the senate trial) with 2/3rds votes. Then the judicial process would apply the same way it would to any other citizen.
So what if the Queen is in a car and one of her acquaintances is driving without a permit. Can she also vouch for his driving ability should they be pulled over (The same way she can vouch for her own)?
technically yes, as a provisional licence required to drive is also issued in her name, so she could vouch that the other driver is competent and whether a learner or not, is also under her own instruction and her position gives her the rights of a full licence even though she doesn't technically hold one.
FUCKYOURSELF GOOGLE Yeah, and if one of subjects who doesn't have a passport is traveling with her, can she verbally grant her approval for them to travel at customs?
indeed it is true. Though offering a tape for the Saudi Royal Family to be bemused at might have been classy. I can imagine they heard all about it when he got back. "You would not believe it. Their queen drives. And she's scary! Good, but scary!"
Ian Atkinson what sizeable chunk of the world do you have in mind? The Crown Estate is actually owned by the British State, the Crown Estates in other Commonwealth realms are owned by the governments of those countries. She does not own the Crown Jewels, none of the royal palaces, not even Buckingham Palace. She doesn't own Windsor Castle, nor Hollyrood House. The furniture, art collections and other valuable items in the palaces is the property of the British State - ie the queen can't sell any of it, it doesn't belong to her. She has got private property in Scotland and England. ps: Does the US President own the White House?
Dead Joker Grab a dictionary and check the definition of the word: Monarch. It means, government by one - there is no need for that 'one' to be a king. In reality of course, the US is run by oligarchs - can you honestly see a poor man every being voted into the Oval Office? Big powerful mega-rich men nominate presidental candidates. Big money supports the campaigns and the providers of that cash expect favours should their man be successful. We don't have that circus here.
Dead Joker Can't see what point your trying to make. I'm simply pointing out that the palaces lived in by members of the Royal Family, and the art collections and other contents are 'owned' by the British State and not by the reigning monarch. Your presidents are in exactly the same position with regard to The White House and any other Federal Government-owned property used by a sitting President. Your comment regarding some imagined difference between the position of resident 'royals' and a president, is irrelevant.
Dead Joker 'class' per se, means very little in the UK today. The power of the hereditary lords was broken decades ago when the majority of them were hoofed out of the House of Lords. Downton Abbey was a foreign to me as it probably was to you, why else were the programmes as popular here as they apparently were in the US. I don't believe half the stuff I am expected to accept is the "American-way-of-life" as portrayed by Hollywood and/or TV programmes. One of the characteristics of GB is we live in an evolutionary society - the monarchy today is very different to that which the Queen inherited. You still have a constitution that was written over two hundred years ago. You final comment is an insult.
"So in the case of the monarchy handing over power to parliament, the queen shall be compensated with immunity from prosecution and retain the power to declare war. Is this agreed to your majesty?" "And the whales." "Pardon?" "I want all the whales too. Oh, and I don't want to have to carry a passport, it doesn't fit in my mini-purse." "Yea sure, what the hell."
Bad ass queen driving a misogynistic prince around scaring him half to death. I love it. I may be an American, but I have a deep respect for the queen, doubly so after learning about this.
Her Majesty does have a sense of humor. Someone I knew was an organ player at one of Her Majesty's events. Her favorite song at the time, was "Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)" and she asked him to play it. He jokingly asked, "Is that the song with the lyrics 'Will I be pretty?/Will I be rich?' " Her Majesty replied, "Mr. Thompson, you are a very funny man. Just play the song or I will have your head."
How? She drove fast without crashing in a fucking country lane. That takes skill. And I doubt anything she could've done would've made him change that law.
Oddly Queenie would never had needed to do a driving test anyway because she started driving before driving licenses were made law. When the law was enacted anyone who had already been driving for a few years qualified for a licence automatically. Since she was an official driver she still qualifies.
psammiad well she actually did get a driving licence as a princess as soon as they started getting issued as a sort of publicity stunt. I oddly remember seeing something about her old driving licence being auctioned by a museum or something a few years back.
psammiad: United Kingdom driving licences were introduced in 1903 (Motor Car Act of that year) and driving tests became compulsory in 1935 (when Elizabeth II was nine years of age) for those who had begun driving after the 1st April 1934. However, although having passed a driving test in 1945, and having held a driving licence, that became un-necessary from the 6th February 1952 and so Elizabeth II is the only person within the United Kingdom who doesn't need to hold a driving licence to drive on public roads.

Philip Dunne she should have been in game of thrones. But I'd rather she be in essos than westeros ( sorry if you don't have not 1 clue or 2 fucks about what I'm talking about )
But wouldn't being the "Queen of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth realms" make her the Queen of England? Isn't England part of the United Kingdom? Isn't her correct title, 'Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith?' Isn't the full title of the United Kingdom, 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland?'

BrianBell4073 you dont need a passport I regularly fly to Belfast from manchester on them for uni and you only need ID for domestic flights, like provisional/full driving licence is fine. Ryanair however need passports for every single flight they do
@Niko Bella-Khouf. Really? are you really that stupid or petty. Any 18 year old female who volunteered to be a mechanic during world war 2 and became bloody good at it is badass in my book, whether they are a monarch or not. But I guess you were trying to appear smart by conflating monarch and dictator, then implying the queen is a warmonger. So sorry you failed there. Never try to appear smart on the internet, if swing and miss you end up looking ....
The fact that Her Majesty would make a subtle, distinct, point to The Saudis in the way she did, I find, impressive and highly laudable. The people of The UK may, from time to time, take issue with institutions like the Monarchy vs. a Republic, but they are fortunate to have a Head of State like Queen Elizabeth II. She has been an enduring and endearing part on British history and culture, that they can be rightfully proud of.
Wow. I had no idea about all the "perks" that the Queen benefits from as a monarch. To me the most interesting part of this video is the information concerning the Queen's service to her country in WW2 when she was just a princess. Fascinating stuff Simon.
Scotland Boy: No, she is Head of the Commonwealth rather than Queen of the Commonwealth because many of the countries of the Commonwealth are republics.
Okay I'm pretty sure that if I had to live in a absolute monarchy with monarch as a decision making head of gov which gave away no rights of any power. (Which is basically the opposite of what the U.K. Is now) I would want her majesty as the ruler
As has been mentioned in other threads here, the Kingdom of England stopped existing in 1707 when it unified with Scotland. So while she is often colloquially referred to as the Queen of England, it's actually a historical title that doesn't exist anymore.
nope the crowns merged they where not superseded so yer the title dose exist but only in the fine print when you say Queen of Great Britain and then point at each part and go yes that that and that and this is just scratching the surface of the weird history of how one family ended up accidentally ruling the world mostly in name alone these days.
David Woodruff All people travelling on a Commerical airline are required by law to go through security, so if she went on a Commerical airlines she would be forced to go through security, Pat down is an option not an obligation
Apemanwithcalculator ° I'm a pretty staunch Republican, but I must admit, the story of her becoming a mechanic changed my opinion of her a bit. Perhaps we needn't have "off with her head" after all. A simple tax harmonisation would do.
The queen and the royal family do more then "wave to people" They are a source of pride,tradition and they bring the country (and the commonwealth in general) together by a bonding force. William and harry are involved in many like diana was.The queen and prince charles also have charitable foundations that do work on their behalf with the money they make. They serve as figureheads by gathering big names to push for charities. In other words they use their name and status s means to get people who have large amounts of money to donate when they otherwise would not. Hence why they throw those events for the rich. So they do more then just sit on their asses all day. They are well loved and in a unique position to be able to do so much good for the world. Which they do.
Must admit, Seeing Harry stick it to the press a few weeks ago when they could not stop talking about the fact his new girlfriend is African American was ace. Those are the kinds of examples we need to see them setting.
Actually, what I find more surprising is that most heads of state need diplomatic passports of some kind. I always assumed that Presidents and Prime Minsters didn't need them either, but apparently they're subject to the law of the land in a way that Monarchs aren't. At least in theory, anyway.
she isnt just a figure head, she does whatever she wants and her actions can only be overturned after its been placed into effect. so yes she could declare war on a whim
She is meant to look after her peoples COMMON LAW rights. She falls down on that. She watches people sign up for Birth Certificates that acquiesce an individual to abide by Maritime-Admiralty jurisdiction, therefore forfeiting their Inalienable/Unalienable rights. 99% of people don't realize what they're truly doing in a certain sense when they beholden themselves to the corporate governmental system. The Queen knows exactly what's going on with all of that, that's for sure. She's not an innocent old lady.
+Kristin Burton, what do you mean "acquiesce an individual ......" etc? It might have escaped your attention but HM is not some oriental despot - British people are free to enter any agreement they wish -
WOW! Imagine all the money that she's saved on passport photos over the last 63 years as the British monarch. Let's see, at $7 or $8 per passport photo, she's already save almost $500. On top of that, no passport fees! That's another few hundred dollars saved! Pretty sure she usually doesn't have to pay for long-haul international first class tickets, so that's several million dollars saved. It must be nice to be the queen! :)
Quite...how much does Air Force One cost to run? When Air Force One is approaching a foreign airport the monumental American egos insist that all other commercial traffic is grounded disrupting the travel plans of thousands of passengers and costing airlines hundreds of thousands of dollars. The only difference between a US president and the UK Monarch is the method of appointment and the term of office. Both are hugely expensive, privileged positions.
As an American who had family that were stationed in England during WWII, I have always admired her for her service during the war. She not only served as a mechanic and driver but also visited many U.S. air crews and others.
Did she never get her drivers license? She wasn't always the queen and was given the proper instructions on driving during her service. I would assume the army had provided the proper training and certification. So while she never had a license she did have the proper documentation to drive at one point.
up untill a year ago you could see her driving along the windsow castle grounds and other private paths around the area. Also the queen drove princess kate around loch muick near the Balmoral estate in scotland nto too long ago, so im sure she does.
Provoked Orifice Did you ever hear the story of the time she was giving a foreign dignitary a tour of the grounds at balmoral and her defender broke down. She knew what the problem was and called for a staff member to bring her a part. She promptly fitted the part herself and carried on with the tour.
supernova743 why would she need a drivers license if she is allowed to commit a crime and get away with it she wouldn't need a drivers license because the police cannot do anything about it

1. There is no such person as "the Queen of England". England is not a kingdom, and hence cannot have a monarch. It was a kingdom, a long time ago, but the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland united many years ago in the single United Kingdom of Great Britain. 2. The Queen is the Head of the Commonwealth, not the Queen of the Commonwealth. She is Queen of many, but not all, Commonwealth countries.
That`s United Kingdom of Great Britain; as it is [kingdoms] plural in one Realm. Its the same thing as using the generic term America to mean United States of America (again plural); as distinct from saying Americas meaning all the `sovereign` countries of the western continental landmass; we use `north` & `south` for further distinction but Canada is the largest single `state` in the `north.`
Kian2002 I've never heard it called "united kingdoms": it's singular. James I & IV saw to that. And Ireland was added in 1801, which saw the *abolition* of the previous Kingdom of Ireland. Similarly, England & Scotland are no longer kingdoms in their own right. TRiG.
TRiG (Ireland) Yes, it is a singular kingdom but it didn't change with James I & IV. Under Queen Anne it became the Kingdom of Great Britain and under George III it became the United Kingdom (of Great Britain and Ireland).
That makes sense that its title evolved to accommodate the fact that Ireland was included within the United Kingdom in the Reign of George III in the 1801 Act of Union; I should imagine that was when the Union Jack took on its final guise as we all know it today: three crosses of the Patron Saints of England, Ireland and Scotland. The Monarchy has proven to be a malleably institution ready to accommodate and move with the times.
The story of the Queen messing with the Saudi prince reminds me of a visit her parents one paid to Franklin Roosevelt at his family estate in Hyde Park, NY. FDR drove the King and Queen around the sprawling property and did such a shit job of it (not sure whether this was intentional or not) that Queen Mary (Elizabeth's mother) eventually demanded that he pull over in the middle of nowhere and let her out. She then told a Secret Service agent "If another car cannot be found, I shall walk back to the house. I shall never ride in that car with that man again."
Steve Zmuda Queen Elizabeth II's parents were: King George VI and Queen Elizabeth* *Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon a daughter of the Earl and Countess of Strathmore. Following the death of King George VI in 1952, she became Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
Simon, your factual stories are very interesting and impressive! It's amusing to know that Her majesty intimidated the Prince with her driving. And yes, it's very sad that NIKE took advantage of Carolyn Davidson, but she did not sign any agreement allowing her to retain its rights and royalties. Just like the TLC trio, that's what happens when you are so quick to sign your deals without negotiating first!
I suspect he was referring to spunk rather than old broad? The expression would be understood in England, but isn't used much, probably for that reason
Okay, The queen did her part in the second world war, she's an experienced mechanic AND she's a driver with a sense of humor. God, i dont know what to say besides she's an awesome person! XD
Dude, the queen is *_hilarious_*. Obviously, her sense of duty and history [being an awesome mechanic in the war] colour her action and the way she is perceived by the world but she's still a human being. And every once in a while we get to see that part of her. There are so many images of her being a troll or having a wicked sense of humour. To me, that's the queen I envision. An awesome grandmother (well technically a great grandmother) who gets stuff done but also has fun. That's why ever since I was little I wanted to be a grandmother.
LOL! I've never heard the story of HM driving Abo Mit'ib. I wish there had been footage of it. I can only imagine how scandalous it would have been over here. Good show, old girl! HA HA!
"but she's so well monitored/looked after" Wasn't there some drunk guy that managed to sneak into her palace twice? If some drunk guy with no motives can do it, I'm sure they could pull it off.
The Queen of England would not have a passport because no such person exists. The monarch's title is Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The separate English and Scottish monarchies were abolished by the Treaty of Union in 1707
VidCrit I know I am late but her title is actually... Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Queen, Head of Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith Lol
Nike is the Greek goddess, usually depicted charioteering, who conveys and awards `victory` to those successful in battle or tournament: she is often depicted or characterised as bestowing honour by placing a wreath of laurels upon those she deems worthy. Her Roman counter-part was herself called Victoria hence `victor` and `victory.` So it is apposite that a piece of `Games` apparel should be named with her in mind; whether it was intentional or coincidence it carries on the Greek tradition of honour the goddess who is synonymous with success.
Her formal title is Her Majesty Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith. www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/39873/supplement/3023
Queen is the only who gets away with saying "aw yea mate I'm a good driver" and have it official. I'm aware that's not how the queen talks but it's a funny thought to me anyway
Hey, kid. She set an example for the King's subjects and earned their love and respect by doing exactly that. Only with a press corps and an entourage.
As far as I'm aware, every capable monarch and most royal family members since the very start of the Kingdom of England have served in the military. It used to be only as Commanders and Generals, but now it is usually as officers or even lower. The Queen was a Junior Officer in her regiment, and was later promoted to Junior Commander. Second in Line to the throne, Prince William of Cambridge, and his brother Prince Henry "Harry" of Wales both served in Afghanistan, with William being a pilot in the RAF, and Harry being a Co-Pilot, Gunner and Forward Air controller in the British Army.
VintageLJ I was aware that most of the Kings served in some way in the military. I had thought that Queens were exempt from such service (as most women were back in the day). This is one of those times where I'm quite happy to be wrong.
SlimThrull Sadly, we may have seen the last monarch serve. As I recall, one of the Princes tried to serve in Afghanistan, but the media got wind and, without regard for anyones safety, reported it. Causing them to pull him out quickly. Very sad really.
She doesn't usually fly by Private Jet outside of Europe, the household normally charter British Airways Airliners and has a handpicked crew of BA's best flight crew and pilots
Classified Info her trips are organised months if not over a year in advance so she doesn't have to go through any security checks... She is also a head of state(s) so is not required to go through standard customs procedures.
Presumably the Queen did have a licence at some point though. To be a mechanic she would have had to be qualified to drive the vehicles and she was in her 20s when she became Queen, prior to which the licences are issued by the King so she could have gotten a civilian licence. She'd likely have a military drivers licence (expired by now). Wonder if that exists anywhere. Again, there would be personnel files and leave records and dog tags and all the other gear issued to a member of the auxiliary she was a part of. Probably in a trunk in a shed somewhere on one of the estates

The Queen of England doesn't need a passport, but what if a country just doesn't allow her to enter? Is it an act of war? Customs: "Ma'am I'm gonna have to ask you to turn back." Queen: "But I'm the Queen of England!" Customs: "THIS IS *NORTH* KOREA!!!"
Apart from the fact there is no such person as the Queen of England (that title was abolished in 1707) it would not be considered an act of war, It would however be regarded as a massive diplomatic incident.
@ aidankiwi - true , the only way a queen will ever exist if she or a princess to be married. other words a princess will have to [ betrothed ] marry a prince [ or a already KING ] to become an official QUEEN .
no such title as the Queen of England, i really wish americans and others would stop referring to Our Queen as such, Queen is officially titled 'Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith'
Check the famous UK passport under discussion and you will not find any reference to 'England'. The term Queen of England is incorrect. England is part of the United Kingdom. Why do many people not get this??,
But she is still the Queen of England, in the sense that she is England's Queen. It may not be her official title, but is still, grammatically speaking, correct, just as it would be to refer to her as the Queen of Australia. But if you wanted her full title, you'd also have to put in Jamaica, Barbados, Saint Lucia, Solomon Islands and so on and so forth, which is highly impractical.

Bacchus: There is no pound note. It is a coin, and has been, for some years.
This story is true... A couple of years ago, in the autumn of 2016, I and a small party of friends were cycling around the grounds of the Balmoral Estate, the Highland holiday home of the Queen. Her Majesty graciously allows members of the public, otherwise known as proles, to use the grounds of Balmoral for walking and cycling excursions, limiting that usage, of course, to whatever does not disturb the pursuits of herself and/or her guests. There was a shooting party going on up a hill that we weren't trying to access, so that didn't bother us. However, all day long, we were passed by Range Rovers (all the same colour) on the shooting tracks we were cycling over.
Now, when one is out in the country, it is only civil to try to be courteous, so we always waved at these Range Rovers. The tweed jacketed occupants always waved back. It soon became apparent that these people were Royal protection officers, making sure that the proles (ourselves) didn't overstep the mark, whatever that mark might be.
By mid afternoon, I was knackered, being unfit and overweight,so I was lying flat out in the heather by the side of the shooting track. The rest of my party were taking a breather as well, leaning on their bikes beside the roadway, when yet another Range Rover (same colour) came tootling along the track. I really couldn't face getting up to wave at it, so I merely raised my head from it's heather bed and waggled my knees at the vehicle. It wasn't until the vehicle was right beside me that I realised that this particular Range Rover was being driven by an elderly lady, who very sensibly did not remove her hands from the steering wheel to acknowledge my greeting, but merely raised two fingers to me. The rest of my party also waved at the occupants of the vehicle and received similar acknowledgement from the driver.
After the Range Rover had passed there was a stunned silence for a couple of seconds and then one of our party asked of nobody in particular, 'That was the Queen wasn't it?...' and we agreed that yes, indeed, that was the Queen.
This is why I can claim, in all truthfulness, that in over sixty years of my life, the sole contact I have had with Her Majesty the Queen is the time I loyally waggled my knees at her and she graciously acknowledged my gesture by regally raising two fingers to me in reply....
So she could shoot up banks and shit and not get in trouble?!
AlphaLineGaming The last King who thought he was above the Law got the Magna Carta shoved up his ass. www.historylearningsite.co.uk/medieval-england/magna-carta/
Parliament would step in and make her abdicate, once that had happened she could be tried in a crown court under a new monarch.
yeah. And so could the head of state of most countries, including the US.
With the law, probably, with other people whose lives are being threatened by a rampaging old lady......
no, despite what some may believe, the president cannot issue a pardon to oneself, and while it is true that the president can't be arrested until after convicted by congress (with the Chief Justice presiding over the senate trial) with 2/3rds votes. Then the judicial process would apply the same way it would to any other citizen.
So what if the Queen is in a car and one of her acquaintances is driving without a permit. Can she also vouch for his driving ability should they be pulled over (The same way she can vouch for her own)?
technically yes, as a provisional licence required to drive is also issued in her name, so she could vouch that the other driver is competent and whether a learner or not, is also under her own instruction and her position gives her the rights of a full licence even though she doesn't technically hold one.
mindblown
FUCKYOURSELF GOOGLE Yeah, and if one of subjects who doesn't have a passport is traveling with her, can she verbally grant her approval for them to travel at customs?

the queen trolling that saudi prince, rolmfao, 😂😂😂
Yah, she did screw with him ....royally.
Hotrodelectric Her only crime was not filming it for the enjoyment of the entire world. That would have been a true Royal Showing.
The Queen is far too classy to embarrass a visitor like that.
Neal bekheet saliyb I'm sure that's so, Neil, but still, that was awesome.
indeed it is true. Though offering a tape for the Saudi Royal Family to be bemused at might have been classy. I can imagine they heard all about it when he got back.

Because when one owns a sizeable chunk of the world, one does not need a passport to go out into one's garden.
Ian Atkinson what sizeable chunk of the world do you have in mind?
The Crown Estate is actually owned by the British State, the Crown Estates in other Commonwealth realms are owned by the governments of those countries.
She does not own the Crown Jewels, none of the royal palaces, not even Buckingham Palace. She doesn't own Windsor Castle, nor Hollyrood House. The furniture, art collections and other valuable items in the palaces is the property of the British State - ie the queen can't sell any of it, it doesn't belong to her.
She has got private property in Scotland and England.
ps: Does the US President own the White House?
Dead Joker
Grab a dictionary and check the definition of the word: Monarch.
It means, government by one - there is no need for that 'one' to be a king.
In reality of course, the US is run by oligarchs - can you honestly see a poor man every being voted into the Oval Office?
Big powerful mega-rich men nominate presidental candidates. Big money supports the campaigns and the providers of that cash expect favours should their man be successful.
We don't have that circus here.
Dead Joker regardless you are wrong about your first statement. Don’t deflect the fact that the he was right. Lmao
Dead Joker
Can't see what point your trying to make.
I'm simply pointing out that the palaces lived in by members of the Royal Family, and the art collections and other contents are 'owned' by the British State and not by the reigning monarch.
Your presidents are in exactly the same position with regard to The White House and any other Federal Government-owned property used by a sitting President.
Your comment regarding some imagined difference between the position of resident 'royals' and a president, is irrelevant.
Dead Joker
'class' per se, means very little in the UK today. The power of the hereditary lords was broken decades ago when the majority of them were hoofed out of the House of Lords.
Downton Abbey was a foreign to me as it probably was to you, why else were the programmes as popular here as they apparently were in the US.
I don't believe half the stuff I am expected to accept is the "American-way-of-life" as portrayed by Hollywood and/or TV programmes.
One of the characteristics of GB is we live in an evolutionary society - the monarchy today is very different to that which the Queen inherited.
You still have a constitution that was written over two hundred years ago.
You final comment is an insult.
"So in the case of the monarchy handing over power to parliament, the queen shall be compensated with immunity from prosecution and retain the power to declare war. Is this agreed to your majesty?"
"And the whales."
"Pardon?"
"I want all the whales too. Oh, and I don't want to have to carry a passport, it doesn't fit in my mini-purse."
"Yea sure, what the hell."
Folopolis As long as the queen doesn't become a psychopath we should be good

I agree that it's perfectly legitimate and that he explains it well, but honestly, who would wonder why the queen doesn't need a passport. lol
Just show the customs a 10 pound note when asked for identification, no biggie.
10 pound note*
chin
The queen doesn't know this 10 pound bill you speak of, maybe 100 pound bill would be more of her status
joesr31 the queen only carrys 5pound notes. for the church poor box on a sunday. no joke 5 whole pounds
General case - England anyway - the highest current note is a £50
the queen can go pub crawling and then drive back to the estate drunk AF and nobody can do anything about it. Real power.
Bad ass queen driving a misogynistic prince around scaring him half to death. I love it. I may be an American, but I have a deep respect for the queen, doubly so after learning about this.
haaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaa..Me TOO!
Her Majesty does have a sense of humor. Someone I knew was an organ player at one of Her Majesty's events. Her favorite song at the time, was "Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)" and she asked him to play it. He jokingly asked, "Is that the song with the lyrics 'Will I be pretty?/Will I be rich?' " Her Majesty replied, "Mr. Thompson, you are a very funny man. Just play the song or I will have your head."
jblyon2 it's been 90 years and she still slayin
totally agree here. in a world gone mad, a leader who's genuine and has a sense of humor is a Godsend.
Imagine if your car broke down and the Queen pulled over sorted it out for you!
harris3693, start keeping a swan and a case of gin in your boot just in case!

now that's awesome the Queen driving around her estate at top speed just to show that idiot what for . Wow she is cooler that I thought !
Except that it probably backfired. If I were the Saudi prince, I would be even more convinced women should never drive after that.
Yeah that whole story is just pure awesome. Way to show the guy alright.
How? She drove fast without crashing in a fucking country lane. That takes skill. And I doubt anything she could've done would've made him change that law.

The Queen is a motherfucking badass! I wish I knew her personally!
Perhaps she's the reason women aren't allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia.
Knew her in the biblical sense?
Oddly Queenie would never had needed to do a driving test anyway because she started driving before driving licenses were made law. When the law was enacted anyone who had already been driving for a few years qualified for a licence automatically. Since she was an official driver she still qualifies.
psammiad well she actually did get a driving licence as a princess as soon as they started getting issued as a sort of publicity stunt. I oddly remember seeing something about her old driving licence being auctioned by a museum or something a few years back.
The Twisting Twist still, she didnt NEED to.
psammiad: United Kingdom driving licences were introduced in 1903 (Motor Car Act of that year) and driving tests became compulsory in 1935 (when Elizabeth II was nine years of age) for those who had begun driving after the 1st April 1934. However, although having passed a driving test in 1945, and having held a driving licence, that became un-necessary from the 6th February 1952 and so Elizabeth II is the only person within the United Kingdom who doesn't need to hold a driving licence to drive on public roads.

Queen:licenses are issued in my name therefore I vouch for my own driving ability

“Queen of England”? - Incorrect. Queen of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth realms.
Ross Johnson-Pullin I know right!
realms ? holy shit she really is reptilian lizard overlord.
But wouldn't being the "Queen of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth realms" make her the Queen of England? Isn't England part of the United Kingdom?
Isn't her correct title, 'Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith?'
Isn't the full title of the United Kingdom, 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland?'

Calm down lads.....It was a joke. I need a passport to fly from Belfast (in the UK) to London (in the UK) with Easyjet. I can do it by bus, train, boat and car without anyone asking my name.....but Easyjet insist on the passport. It isn't funny now I've had to explain it. ;-)
p.s. - Do I need to explain the other bit? Sitting in row 14 and rubbing shoulders with her maj?
BrianBell4073 you dont need a passport I regularly fly to Belfast from manchester on them for uni and you only need ID for domestic flights, like provisional/full driving licence is fine. Ryanair however need passports for every single flight they do
She doesn't need a passport because she's the fucking Queen of England.
No she is not. She is Queen of the United Kingdom

@Niko Bella-Khouf. Really? are you really that stupid or petty. Any 18 year old female who volunteered to be a mechanic during world war 2 and became bloody good at it is badass in my book, whether they are a monarch or not.

Hahahaha
It must be so badass when someone asks her occupation; "Queen."
The fact that Her Majesty would make a subtle, distinct, point to The Saudis in the way she did, I find, impressive and highly laudable. The people of The UK may, from time to time, take issue with institutions like the Monarchy vs. a Republic, but they are fortunate to have a Head of State like Queen Elizabeth II. She has been an enduring and endearing part on British history and culture, that they can be rightfully proud of.
MAC VENA
That story was bullshit
Wow. I had no idea about all the "perks" that the Queen benefits from as a monarch. To me the most interesting part of this video is the information concerning the Queen's service to her country in WW2 when she was just a princess. Fascinating stuff Simon.
No she is the queen of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth not just England.
I think he knows that, but just says the Queen of England because it's easier and not so unwieldy
Surely not the queen of Malaysia, Singapore, and Myanmar.
The correct short form is Queen of the United Kingdom. It is 100% incorrect to refer to her as Queen of England as that title was abolished in 1707.
hello am Prince Harry add me on my private email so we can talk more okay princeharrydaivid09@gmail.com i really want us to talk okay
Scotland Boy: No, she is Head of the Commonwealth rather than Queen of the Commonwealth because many of the countries of the Commonwealth are republics.
Okay I'm pretty sure that if I had to live in a absolute monarchy with monarch as a decision making head of gov which gave away no rights of any power. (Which is basically the opposite of what the U.K. Is now) I would want her majesty as the ruler
Love the bit about driving the Saudi Prince round her estate just brilliant!
next fast and furious movie main character: the Queen
LoL
The Queen of England is such a badass. She don't take shit from nobody.
The United Kingdom, not England
shes also the queen of england its just a lesser title
Michael Diaz That's like referring to Theresa May as the MP for Maidenhead. Why bother? Just call her the Prime Minister.
As has been mentioned in other threads here, the Kingdom of England stopped existing in 1707 when it unified with Scotland. So while she is often colloquially referred to as the Queen of England, it's actually a historical title that doesn't exist anymore.
nope the crowns merged they where not superseded so yer the title dose exist but only in the fine print when you say Queen of Great Britain and then point at each part and go yes that that and that and this is just scratching the surface of the weird history of how one family ended up accidentally ruling the world mostly in name alone these days.
"Ensures customs officials don't giver her any guff..."I could see the TSA giving the Queen a pat down....
David Woodruff All people travelling on a Commerical airline are required by law to go through security, so if she went on a Commerical airlines she would be forced to go through security, Pat down is an option not an obligation
Not through VIP channels. Diplomats are not required to go through security - that's part of what is meant by diplomatic immunity.
Police stops a car doing 200 mph, finds out its the queen, lets her go
Pretty much... they can't do anything, they have no legal powers to arrest and prosecute her.
even if you could, would you want to be THAT police officer who arrested the queen..
police let ppl go all the time...police chiefs, ppl they like, queens and powerful ppl
it's only the weak that get shit on in this world

It would be interesting if people got arrested in the name of the Queen:
"In the name if the Queen I arrest ... yourself?"
What an amazing woman you Brits have as your Queen.
No 😑
Man the Queen is badass. That Saudi story really made me see her in a new light!
Apemanwithcalculator Okay... I'm talking about the Saudi story specifically. She was badass in it.
Apemanwithcalculator the royal Family Dont use any tax
Apemanwithcalculator ° I'm a pretty staunch Republican, but I must admit, the story of her becoming a mechanic changed my opinion of her a bit. Perhaps we needn't have "off with her head" after all. A simple tax harmonisation would do.
The queen and the royal family do more then "wave to people" They are a source of pride,tradition and they bring the country (and the commonwealth in general) together by a bonding force. William and harry are involved in many like diana was.The queen and prince charles also have charitable foundations that do work on their behalf with the money they make. They serve as figureheads by gathering big names to push for charities. In other words they use their name and status s means to get people who have large amounts of money to donate when they otherwise would not. Hence why they throw those events for the rich. So they do more then just sit on their asses all day. They are well loved and in a unique position to be able to do so much good for the world. Which they do.
Must admit, Seeing Harry stick it to the press a few weeks ago when they could not stop talking about the fact his new girlfriend is African American was ace. Those are the kinds of examples we need to see them setting.
Actually, what I find more surprising is that most heads of state need diplomatic passports of some kind. I always assumed that Presidents and Prime Minsters didn't need them either, but apparently they're subject to the law of the land in a way that Monarchs aren't. At least in theory, anyway.
While the Queen may not have a traditional passport in the way any other UK resident has, she does carry a diplomatic passport.
+Evan Davis Have you seen it?
she doesn't have or need a diplomatic passport
chentiangemalc Actually she does. But never mind facts.
Well, the video just said she didn't. So you're saying they just made this up?
You're telling me if she actually declared war the parliament wouldn't be like 'LOL'?
she isnt just a figure head, she does whatever she wants and her actions can only be overturned after its been placed into effect. so yes she could declare war on a whim
she is head of state. no law becomes law until it receives Her signature or in Commonwealth nations the Governors-General signature in her place.
She is meant to look after her peoples COMMON LAW rights. She falls down on that. She watches people sign up for Birth Certificates that acquiesce an individual to abide by Maritime-Admiralty jurisdiction, therefore forfeiting their Inalienable/Unalienable rights. 99% of people don't realize what they're truly doing in a certain sense when they beholden themselves to the corporate governmental system. The Queen knows exactly what's going on with all of that, that's for sure. She's not an innocent old lady.
+Thomas Middleton declarations of war and of peace are done in the name of the queen. As our Constitutional Monarch her signature is required.
+Kristin Burton, what do you mean "acquiesce an individual ......" etc? It might have escaped your attention but HM is not some oriental despot - British people are free to enter any agreement they wish -
A wonderful person, an absolute example to us all, graceful, witty, wonderful sense of humour, I find her awe inspiring.

WOW! Imagine all the money that she's saved on passport photos over the last 63 years as the British monarch. Let's see, at $7 or $8 per passport photo, she's already save almost $500. On top of that, no passport fees! That's another few hundred dollars saved! Pretty sure she usually doesn't have to pay for long-haul international first class tickets, so that's several million dollars saved. It must be nice to be the queen! :)
B Lee Have you ever asked yourself how much a US President costs the US taxpayer?
Quite...how much does Air Force One cost to run? When Air Force One is approaching a foreign airport the monumental American egos insist that all other commercial traffic is grounded disrupting the travel plans of thousands of passengers and costing airlines hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The only difference between a US president and the UK Monarch is the method of appointment and the term of office. Both are hugely expensive, privileged positions.
B Lee: She actually saved several millions of pounds rather than several millions of dollars.
B Lee: Elizabeth II hasn't saved any dollars - the currency of the United Kingdom is the pound Sterling.
Sam Ehrenteit: She is a billionairess rather than a billionaire....
As an American who had family that were stationed in England during WWII, I have always admired her for her service during the war. She not only served as a mechanic and driver but also visited many U.S. air crews and others.
You had family stationed in the UK during WWII.
Did she never get her drivers license? She wasn't always the queen and was given the proper instructions on driving during her service. I would assume the army had provided the proper training and certification. So while she never had a license she did have the proper documentation to drive at one point.
up untill a year ago you could see her driving along the windsow castle grounds and other private paths around the area.
Also the queen drove princess kate around loch muick near the Balmoral estate in scotland nto too long ago, so im sure she does.
Provoked Orifice Did you ever hear the story of the time she was giving a foreign dignitary a tour of the grounds at balmoral and her defender broke down. She knew what the problem was and called for a staff member to bring her a part. She promptly fitted the part herself and carried on with the tour.
supernova743 Yeah I swear I've seen a pic somewhere of the queen (As a Princess) driving army troops around.
supernova743 why would she need a drivers license if she is allowed to commit a crime and get away with it she wouldn't need a drivers license because the police cannot do anything about it

1. There is no such person as "the Queen of England". England is not a kingdom, and hence cannot have a monarch. It was a kingdom, a long time ago, but the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland united many years ago in the single United Kingdom of Great Britain.
2. The Queen is the Head of the Commonwealth, not the Queen of the Commonwealth. She is Queen of many, but not all, Commonwealth countries.
That's the Kingdom of Great Britain.
That`s United Kingdom of Great Britain; as it is [kingdoms] plural in one Realm. Its the same thing as using the generic term America to mean United States of America (again plural); as distinct from saying Americas meaning all the `sovereign` countries of the western continental landmass; we use `north` & `south` for further distinction but Canada is the largest single `state` in the `north.`
Kian2002 I've never heard it called "united kingdoms": it's singular. James I & IV saw to that. And Ireland was added in 1801, which saw the *abolition* of the previous Kingdom of Ireland. Similarly, England & Scotland are no longer kingdoms in their own right.
TRiG.
TRiG (Ireland)
Yes, it is a singular kingdom but it didn't change with James I & IV. Under Queen Anne it became the Kingdom of Great Britain and under George III it became the United Kingdom (of Great Britain and Ireland).
That makes sense that its title evolved to accommodate the fact that Ireland was included within the United Kingdom in the Reign of George III in the 1801 Act of Union; I should imagine that was when the Union Jack took on its final guise as we all know it today: three crosses of the Patron Saints of England, Ireland and Scotland. The Monarchy has proven to be a malleably institution ready to accommodate and move with the times.
Instead of passport she uses a 5 Pounds Banknote as identification :))
well she can't be prosecuted so even if she was pulled over for doing 180 on a 30 road its not like anyone can do anything about it.
The story of the Queen messing with the Saudi prince reminds me of a visit her parents one paid to Franklin Roosevelt at his family estate in Hyde Park, NY. FDR drove the King and Queen around the sprawling property and did such a shit job of it (not sure whether this was intentional or not) that Queen Mary (Elizabeth's mother) eventually demanded that he pull over in the middle of nowhere and let her out. She then told a Secret Service agent "If another car cannot be found, I shall walk back to the house. I shall never ride in that car with that man again."
Queen Mary was the current Queen's grandmother not mother.
No, that was her mother. This was in 1939, the current Queen (Elizabeth II) was about 14 or so then.
Steve Zmuda
Queen Elizabeth II's parents were:
King George VI and Queen Elizabeth*
*Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon a daughter of the Earl and Countess of Strathmore.
Following the death of King George VI in 1952, she became Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
Simon, your factual stories are very interesting and impressive! It's amusing to know that Her majesty intimidated the Prince with her driving. And yes, it's very sad that NIKE took advantage of Carolyn Davidson, but she did not sign any agreement allowing her to retain its rights and royalties. Just like the TLC trio, that's what happens when you are so quick to sign your deals without negotiating first!

Alex Victoria. But she don't like you.
Dude, the queen is *_hilarious_*. Obviously, her sense of duty and history [being an awesome mechanic in the war] colour her action and the way she is perceived by the world but she's still a human being. And every once in a while we get to see that part of her. There are so many images of her being a troll or having a wicked sense of humour. To me, that's the queen I envision. An awesome grandmother (well technically a great grandmother) who gets stuff done but also has fun. That's why ever since I was little I wanted to be a grandmother.

The Zygon invasion must not be interfered with, eradicate this human
Fact check; there has not been a Queen of England since 1707- Queen of the United Kingdom.
The Queen of England would not have a passport because no such person exists. The monarch's title is Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The separate English and Scottish monarchies were abolished by the Treaty of Union in 1707
VidCrit I know I am late but her title is actually...
Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Queen, Head of Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith
Lol
Nike is nai-ki.... its a greek word...
ni-kee*
nyk*
Nike is the Greek goddess, usually depicted charioteering, who conveys and awards `victory` to those successful in battle or tournament: she is often depicted or characterised as bestowing honour by placing a wreath of laurels upon those she deems worthy. Her Roman counter-part was herself called Victoria hence `victor` and `victory.` So it is apposite that a piece of `Games` apparel should be named with her in mind; whether it was intentional or coincidence it carries on the Greek tradition of honour the goddess who is synonymous with success.
I appreciate the videos TIFO posts
Thanks! We appreciate you watching. :-)
Hey, learn corporate names please. Thanks. liked the bit about the queen.
the driving story 😂😂😂 I love it
I dont need a passport, I dont go any where thats why
Me: She's Savage
Her Majesty: Hell yeah
Customs officer: Do you have any ID?
Queen: *Pulls out fiver*
The Queen is the kind of petty I aspire to be.
You aspire to be a queen?!
Cute
Proud of my Queen! 🍁 The fact that she did that to a Saudi, makes the whole situation that much better!
Also the Queens official car has no license plate.
NOT QUEEN OF ENGLAND..British Monarch..We are not all English....Been so since 1707....
you'd probably need an entire video to say her list of titles...
Her formal title is the queen of England, she might be the monarch of many but she is the queen of England.
Her formal title is Her Majesty Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith. www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/39873/supplement/3023

"Name and Occupation?" "We are the Champions, my friend. And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end."
Queen is the only who gets away with saying "aw yea mate I'm a good driver" and have it official. I'm aware that's not how the queen talks but it's a funny thought to me anyway
That's so badass!
Queen Elizabeth helped out during World War II? Wow, I'm impressed.
Hey, kid. She set an example for the King's subjects and earned their love and respect by doing exactly that. Only with a press corps and an entourage.
SlimThrull she didn't take no damn sword and horse ( looks at battlefield ) her got her that car and a gun and started to slay bitches
As far as I'm aware, every capable monarch and most royal family members since the very start of the Kingdom of England have served in the military. It used to be only as Commanders and Generals, but now it is usually as officers or even lower. The Queen was a Junior Officer in her regiment, and was later promoted to Junior Commander. Second in Line to the throne, Prince William of Cambridge, and his brother Prince Henry "Harry" of Wales both served in Afghanistan, with William being a pilot in the RAF, and Harry being a Co-Pilot, Gunner and Forward Air controller in the British Army.
VintageLJ I was aware that most of the Kings served in some way in the military. I had thought that Queens were exempt from such service (as most women were back in the day).
This is one of those times where I'm quite happy to be wrong.
SlimThrull Sadly, we may have seen the last monarch serve. As I recall, one of the Princes tried to serve in Afghanistan, but the media got wind and, without regard for anyones safety, reported it. Causing them to pull him out quickly. Very sad really.
didn't she need a driver license during the war when her Father was King? after she was NOT Queen yet....
I keep wondering why Britain still holds on to it's monarchy but that Queen driving story is amazing. Well done your majesty! Well done!
Well, she's not getting in my house without some form of ID. I don't care if she IS the queen of England.
Tim Hallas does that go for all your houseguests? why would the Queen of England come to your house?
Austin Ward
It's an American joke. I guess you have to see it from this side of the "Ocean">
4:15 "a landrover" -> shows picture of range rover
It the same sort of as it a “Land Rover Range Rover” and yes I do say that whole name
Huh, but if the Queen doesn't have a passport, does that mean lookalikes can just get of flights in her name?
She calls ahead, and travels via private jet. So any lookalikes would have to procure those things to be believed.
She doesn't usually fly by Private Jet outside of Europe, the household normally charter British Airways Airliners and has a handpicked crew of BA's best flight crew and pilots
She would not go through normal customs I bet, I think she will bypass and go somewhere different for security
Classified Info her trips are organised months if not over a year in advance so she doesn't have to go through any security checks... She is also a head of state(s) so is not required to go through standard customs procedures.
Well like, there's usually a big crowd, security, etc. following after her as well, so it's pretty obvious when it's her.
Presumably the Queen did have a licence at some point though. To be a mechanic she would have had to be qualified to drive the vehicles and she was in her 20s when she became Queen, prior to which the licences are issued by the King so she could have gotten a civilian licence. She'd likely have a military drivers licence (expired by now). Wonder if that exists anywhere. Again, there would be personnel files and leave records and dog tags and all the other gear issued to a member of the auxiliary she was a part of. Probably in a trunk in a shed somewhere on one of the estates
Long live Her Majesty, The UK, Great Britain, The Commonwealth and Her overseas dependencies, territories, dominions and protectorates.
Rule Britannia.
God Save The Queen, God Save Our Queen, Long may She reign.
Down with the EU.
***** BLOCKED.
BLOCKED.
Ade Larsen here here! :D
Everything was great till the last line...😬
Joe Gray Don't you like self governance and self rule ?
Don't you like sovereignty ?
Don't you like to be in control of your own borders and own affairs ?
Do you hate Great Britain so much that you want to support a federalist super state which you can't remove ?
Do you think GB can't stand on it's own two feet ?
The EU is an unmitigated failure and we're better off without it.
Norway and Switzerland are smart enough - why is GB still in a failing communist dictatorship ?
VOTE UKIP and DOWN WITH THE EU.
You should watch Brexit The Movie - you might learn something....
The EU is ruining lives, ruining economies, ruining hope, removing nation-hood and becoming an EUSSR.
The entire EU commission is unelected leftist commies who dictate what EU states can do.
And isn't the European arrest warrant such a success ?
And now they openly want an Anti-NATO military force of their own.
Seen this behaviour before ??? Hmm ??
Gorbachev said "You are creating what we took 40 years to destroy"
The EU is exactly the USSR over again - along with its maoist, communist, socialist left dictators and irremovable executive / commission.
To quote Nigel Farage "You couldn't make this stuff up"
Watch Brexit The Movie. If that doesn't convince you to change your mind then you'll just have to keep voting for the two wings of the same bird. Good luck !
We didn't fight all these wars to be controlled by outsiders and foreigners. We're better than that.
Article 50 NOW !!!!!!
And Martin Shultz, if you're listening - Fuck you, you're an undemocratic fascist.
Never to big to rebel
in short: because she is the fuckin queen
The Queen of England doesn't need a passport, but what if a country just doesn't allow her to enter? Is it an act of war?
Customs: "Ma'am I'm gonna have to ask you to turn back."
Queen: "But I'm the Queen of England!"
Customs: "THIS IS *NORTH* KOREA!!!"
Apart from the fact there is no such person as the Queen of England (that title was abolished in 1707) it would not be considered an act of war, It would however be regarded as a massive diplomatic incident.
@ aidankiwi - true , the only way a queen will ever exist if she or a princess to be married.
other words a princess will have to [ betrothed ] marry a prince [ or a already KING ] to become an official QUEEN .
no such title as the Queen of England, i really wish americans and others would stop referring to Our Queen as such, Queen is officially titled 'Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith'
Check the famous UK passport under discussion and you will not find any reference to 'England'. The term Queen of England is incorrect. England is part of the United Kingdom. Why do many people not get this??,
To her credit, the Queen is extremely unlikely to ever wish to visit North Korea, unlike the witless POTUS.
Her Majesty is a badass!
Laura K
lol no
The Queen is pretty spicy
There's no such thing as the Queen of England.... She's the Queen of the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia and Canada...
Moses Anderson
Well said, thank you.
Exactly, if people want to refer to her in shorter manner, then Queen of Britain would be more accurate then "Queen of England".
Saying the British Queen would be short and accurate.
Queen Elizabeth II would be most accurate
But she is still the Queen of England, in the sense that she is England's Queen. It may not be her official title, but is still, grammatically speaking, correct, just as it would be to refer to her as the Queen of Australia.
But if you wanted her full title, you'd also have to put in Jamaica, Barbados, Saint Lucia, Solomon Islands and so on and so forth, which is highly impractical.
