  1. She has alot of suiters


  2. For people who live in other countries besides england (like me), the queen and the whole royal family is a symbol of engalnd.

    although i really think england should stop having royalty. its just not practical anymore. its 2008 people, not the 1900's! the royal family seems to be lavishing themselveswith crowns and jewels using all the common folks tax money. i feel so bad for england.

  3. I would bet she does a lot more then you ever could dream about !!

  4. Just the same as all the other queens ~ puts on her best fancy dress, gets nicely made up and shakes it for the public to enjoy!

    You know ~ queen things!

    And she does a fine job of it, too.

    Cheers :-)

  5. She is a diplomat.

  6. The Queen is like the supervisor of the country.  The Prime Minister and the House of Commons (like our  Congress and Senate) pass the laws.  She sits on her butt and supervises.

  7. The queen works in the Commonwealth mainly greeting heads of states' + meeting ambassadors but also meeting people working in projects mainy charitable and if she didn't she would get paid but they would controversy

  8. The Queen is the monarch and has duties related to the monarchy.  I know a lot of the duties are related to charity- making appearances, speeches and the like.  Her appearances draw large crowds many of whom are willing to make donations.

    She represents her country in many ways- as a visiting dignitary and probably sits on many charity boards.

    She does quite a bit for someone who has been on duty since the 1950s.  She's over 80.

    What kind of work to do you ?

  9. Well she knows how to change the tyre of a ww2 jeep and she knows how to be a mechanic as well  ( as this is what she did during WW2)...

    the Queen does not have the time to *make a living* as we do.. she is far too busy attending to the affairs of the nation.

    Don't Dis the Queen .. her life is probably a h**l of a lot tougher than you consider. I know that I for one would Never trade my annonimity and relative poverty for her fame and wealth.

  10. well i think she probabaly wants to make sure that willies girl has some kind of skill just incase things dont go well.get a job and the queens position not available yet.

  11. I am growing quite weary of all of those people who come here to whine and complain about something they really don't understand! If only they'd do some good old-fashioned research they'd find out the Queen does do quite a lot!

    The Queen is Head of the State and Head of the Nation:The Queen's role is to:

    Perform the ceremonial and official duties of Head of State, including

    representing Britain to the rest of the world;

    Provide a focus for national identity and unity;

    Provide stability and continuity in times of change;

    Recognise achievement and excellence;

    Encourage public and voluntary service

    Whether you like it or not,accept it or not,the Queen does work quite hard at being a monarch:

    only begins to descibe what he Queen does;she has a very busy schedule.

    "There are inward duties, with The Queen playing a part in State functions in Britain. Parliament must be opened, Orders in Council have to be approved, Acts of Parliament must be signed, and meetings with the Prime Minister must be held.

    There are also outward duties of State, when The Queen represents Britain to the rest of the world. For example, The Queen receives foreign ambassadors and high commissioners, entertains visiting Heads of State, and makes State visits overseas to other countries, in support of diplomatic and economic relations.

    As 'Head of Nation', The Queen's role is less formal, but no less important for the social and cultural functions it fulfils.

       These include: providing a focus for national identity, unity and pride; giving a sense of stability and continuity; recognising success, achievement and excellence; and supporting service to others, particularly through public service and the voluntary sector.

    These roles are performed through different types of engagement.

    By means of regular visits through every part of the United Kingdom, The Queen is able to act as a focus for national unity and identity.

    Through her engagements and walkabouts, The Queen is able to meet people from every walk of life. The Queen's unifying role as Sovereign is also shown in her special relationships with the devolved assemblies in Scotland and Wales.

    In addition, at times of national celebration or tragedy, The Queen publicly represents the nation's mood - for example, at annual commemoration of the war dead on Remembrance Sunday, or at celebrations for a national sporting victory.

    The Queen also has an essential role in providing a sense of stability and continuity in times of political and social change. The system of constitutional monarchy bridges the discontinuity of party politics.

    While political parties change constantly, the Sovereign continues as Head of State, providing a stable framework within which a government can introduce wide-ranging reforms.

    With more than five decades of reading State papers, meeting Heads of State and ambassadors and holding a weekly audience with the Prime Minister, The Queen has an unequalled store of experience upon which successive Prime Ministers have been able to draw.

    The Queen is able to recognise success and achievement in a personal way. These include honours, awards, visits, patronage and sponsorship. At Investitures, for example, The Queen honours individuals for public service or outstanding achievement.

    She also hosts garden parties to which guests from all backgrounds are invited, most of whom are nominated by charities or public sector organisations for their service to their communities.

    And in the thousands of messages sent by The Queen each year to people celebrating their 100th birthdays or diamond weddings, The Queen is able to give special and personal recognition of remarkable individuals.

    The Queen also supports service to others, through close relationships with the voluntary and charitable sector. About 3,000 organisations list a member of the Royal Family as patron or president. The Queen has over 600 patronages and The Duke of Edinburgh over 700.

    In all these roles, The Queen is supported by members of the Royal Family, who carry out many of the engagements which The Queen cannot undertake in person."

  12. She Queens.
