    This has bugged me forever, because, surprisingly, Tighten is correct.

    There is no Queen and no King of England, the title was abolished in 1707 with the Acts of Union, when England and Scotland were joined into the Kingdom of Great Britain.

    Accordingly the correct title is: The King / Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

    There hasn’t been a Queen of England since 1 May 1707.

    July 4th: There is no Queen of England.

    Next May the 4th: Somehow Elizabeth returned.

        recent supreme court rulings make a president immune to prosecution for “official acts”, so all the treason trump did while in office is ok according to the supreme court.

    Happy treason day! My ancestors fought to make sure we didn’t have to live under a monarch. SCOTUS would do well to remember that.

    Isn’t the king’s wife the queen? Like, I know that the queen’s husband wasn’t the king, because that would have meant he ranked higher or something like that. But that wouldn’t be an issue the other way around, because sexism. Wasn’t it something like that?

      Yes. ‘Queen Regnant’ and ‘Queen Consort’ can distinguish between the two.

      No

      Tighten is correct.

      There is no Queen and no King of England, the title was abolished in 1707 with the Acts of Union, when England and Scotland were joined into the Kingdom of Great Britain.

      Accordingly the correct title is: The King / Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

        Wait, really? I thought she was called something else, since the Queen’s husband was called the Prince concert.

          Prince concert consort

          FTFY

          Camilla had the title of Queen consort, but the ‘consort’ was dropped the day she, and Charles, were coronated.

          Her ‘Queen’ is nothing like Elisabeth’s ‘Queen’.

            Ugh, there’s always something I miss with voice to text. So why was she the queen consort (and then queen) instead of the princess consort, like Elizabeth’s husband was the Prince consort (and stayed Prince consort)?

              Because in that archaic system, Kings are greater than Queens, so if Phillip was King instead of Prince Consort, he would have outranked Elizabeth.
