Question

Queen Elizabeth's II mother is Elizabeth, she married the Prince. What is Elizabeth C.......? Maiden name?

Answer 1

If you are asking what the present Queen's mother's maiden name was, it is Bowes-Lyons.

Answer 2

Queen Elizabeth II's mother was Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, later Queen Elizabeth. Her full name birthname was Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon (4 August 1900 – 30 March 2002), was the Queen Consort of King George VI of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions from 1936 until his death in 1952. After her husband's death, she was known as Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, to avoid confusion with her daughter, Elizabeth II.

Born into a family of Scottish nobility (her father inherited the Earldom of Strathmore and Kinghorne in 1904), she came to prominence in 1923 when she married Albert, Duke of York, the second son of George V and Queen Mary. As Duchess of York, she – along with her husband and their two daughters Elizabeth and Margaret – embodied traditional ideas of family and public service. She undertook a variety of public engagements, and became known as the "Smiling Duchess" because of her consistent public expression.

Here are her titles and styles:

4 August 1900 – 16 February 1904: The Honourable Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon

16 February 1904 – 26 April 1923: Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon

26 April 1923 – 11 December 1936: Her Royal Highness The Duchess of York

11 December 1936 – 6 February 1952: Her Majesty The Queen

alternatively, especially in regards to British India: Her Imperial Majesty The Queen-Empress

6 February 1952 – 30 March 2002: Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother

Answer 3

Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother was born Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, daughter of the heir to the Earl of Strathmore.

Here's more about her from http://www.royal.gov/uk

"Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother was the mother of Queen Elizabeth II, the present British sovereign, and the widow of the late King George VI. The daughter of Lord Glamis, later 14th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, she was descended from the Royal House of Scotland and retained strong associations with Scotland.

The Queen Mother's remarkable life spanned over a century, a period of immense change. Having married Prince Albert, Duke of York in 1923, she found herself Queen Consort on the abdication of King Edward VIII in 1936. As Queen she played a significant role in the life of the nation, supporting the King and helping to uphold national morale during the difficult years of the Second World War and its aftermath.

Widowed at the age of 51, she continued to undertake Royal duties for the next fifty years in support of her daughter, The Queen. Public appearances continued right up to the end of her life, even in periods of ill health. The resilience, sense of duty and gracefulness of The Queen Mother in all areas of her life earned her a secure place in the heart of national life.
