Is Queen Elizabeth the queen of England or Britain?

Question

In other words, is she just the queen of England, or is she queen of England, Scotland, N. Ireland, and Wales all together?

Answer 1

you all are mad she is from england and stays there

Answer 2

The Act of Union in 1707 united the kingdoms of Scotland and England.  It created the Untied Kingdom of Great Britain and was signed by Queen Anne, first as Queen of Scotland and then as Queen of England.  Ireland was added to the title later on.  When the Irish left and the stub of Northern Irelenad remained, the title was modified.  Therefore, Queen Elizabeth is the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Answer 3

Queen Elizabeth II (the current one) is Queen of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,

The Queen's title in the UK is

"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".

Answer 4

Queen Elizabeth is queen of the United Kingdon of Great Britain and Northern Ireland . The present succession began in 1603  ( not 1606 ) . She is Queen Elizabeth ( not Queen Elizabeth 2 ) as the first queen of that name since 1603 . In England they tend to call her QE2 as they had one before the formation of the UK . After the death of George Vl when she became queen , pillar boxes with the symbol QE2 were erected in Scotland and quickly dispatched never to return . Indeed to this day all Royal Mail vehicles carry the crest and the letters QE . The point was  taken .

Answer 5

Answer 6

And did you know that when she travels to another commonwealth country, she becomes the Queen of that country? For instance, the last time she was in Canada, she was Queen Elizabeth II of Canada. I don't know why, but that's what it was.

Answer 7

She's the queen bean of GrEaT BrItAiN.

She's dating a new beau too by the way.

Presently it's an alleged steamy affair w/one of the ranchers. She's in hog heaven right now babes.

Answer 8

Sam 's answer is completely correct!

S.E.B. 's compliment of information is exact as well

lindsay S's comment is correct as far as she is Queen only when she is Head of State of that Country. In GB she is Head of State and the Prime Minister is Head of Government.

Arteh is WRONG the Act of 1707 was for the Union of the Scottish and English Parliaments into one! The crowns were United in 1606 with James VI of Scotland becoming James I of the UK of GB

Answer 9

Yes she is firstly the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain.

Great Britain is defined as England, Wales, and Scotland.

The UK is defined as England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

In various world stages the country will be termed as either Britain or the UK - for instance in competitions like the Olympics or the Eurovision Song Contest or something like that...

Politically the Westminster Government is in charge of the country of the United Kingdom. This doesnt include some islands in the British Isles such as the Isle of Man and the Channel Island, who could still say they are British.

So if you live on Guernsey you are not under the government led by Gordon Brown but your Queen is still Queen Elizabeth II.

Answer 10

What Sam said, but to clarify further, Great Britain includes England, Scotland, and Wales.

Answer 11

britain i believe.

Answer 12

Queen of England is a common error and simply wrong. That title refers to past history.

The current Queen is the "Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith"

There has not been a Queen of England since 1603, due to  the Union of Crowns. See junior school link below that they teach to children.

Answer 13

both

wow thumbs down for a right answer... lets see England is a country in the Uk... the Queen is therefore queen of not only England but ALSO the UK, which includes Wales, Scotland, And Northern Ireland. so yes both would be a correct answer to this question.
