She is indeed the Queen. Prince William will become King when she dies, or steps down. Prince Charles, his dad, was going to be King, but since he got divorced, he is no longer in line.
2 :
Queen Elizabeth II is Queen of the United Kingdom,this includes England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.The last Queen of England was Queen Anne, circa 1700's.Prince Charles is next in line,being divorced has nothing to do with it.
3 :
Elizabeth isn't the Queen of England, she is Queen of Britain and the Commonwealth (countries like Canada, Australia, Bermuda etc.) There hasn't been a Queen or King of England since the kingdoms of England (which at that time included Wales and Ireland) and Scotland were joined by the 'act of union' in 1707. At that point the King became ruler of England AND Scotland (and Wales and Northern Ireland and the colonies) and so was no longer the King of just England. The next time there will be a King or Queen of England will be if the UK breaks up and England becomes a seperate nation again.

She is the Queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.There hasn't been a Queen of England for quite some time now.

Queen Elizabeth is the Queen of the United Kingdom. Graham Norton is the Queen of England. It is all very confusing.

The Monarchy of the United Kingdom (commonly referred to as the British monarchy) is the constitutional monarchy of the United Kingdom and its overseas territories. The present monarch, Elizabeth II, has reigned since 6 February 1952. She and her immediate family undertake various official, ceremonial and representational duties. As a constitutional monarch, the Queen is limited to non-partisan functions such as bestowing honours. Though the ultimate executive authority over the government of the United Kingdom is still by and through the monarch's royal prerogative, in practice these powers are only used according to laws enacted in Parliament or within the constraints of convention and precedent. The British monarchy traces its origins from the kings of the Angles and the early Scottish kings. By the year 1000, the kingdoms of England and Scotland had resolved from the petty kingdoms of early medieval Britain. The last Anglo-Saxon monarch (Harold II) was defeated and killed in the Norman invasion of 1066 and the English monarchy passed to the Norman conquerors. In the thirteenth century, the principality of Wales was absorbed by England, and the Magna Carta began the process of reducing the political powers of the monarch. From 1603, when the Scottish king James VI inherited the English throne as James I, both kingdoms were ruled by a single monarch. From 1649 to 1660, the tradition of monarchy was broken by the republican Commonwealth of England that followed the War of the Three Kingdoms. In 1707, the kingdoms of England and Scotland were merged to create the Kingdom of Great Britain and, in 1801, the Kingdom of Ireland joined to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The British monarch became nominal head of the vast British Empire, which covered a quarter of the world at its greatest extent in 1921. In 1922, most of Ireland seceded from the Union as the Irish Free State, but in law the monarch remained sovereign there until 1949. After World War II, the declaration of Indian independence effectively brought the British Empire to an end. George VI and his successor, Elizabeth II, adopted the title Head of the Commonwealth as a symbol of the free association of the independent countries comprising the Commonwealth of Nations. In 1931, the unitary British monarchy throughout the empire was split into legally distinct crowns for each of the Commonwealth realms. At present, 15 other independent Commonwealth countries share with the United Kingdom the same person as their monarch. As such, the terms British monarchy and British monarch are frequently still employed in reference not only to the extra-national person and institution shared amongst all 16 of the realms, but also to the distinct monarchies within each of these countries, often at variance with the different, specific, and official national titles and terms for each jurisdiction.

Well, quite a few people think that she is the Queen of England, and, I suppose you could say that. But that is not her official and correct title. She is actually the Queen of the United Kingdom and th eCOmmonwealth Realms (Canada, Australia, etc). At this time, the next monarch will be King Charles III (not the fourth, as some people think). But if he dies before the Queen does, then his eldest son, Prince William, will become king. There will be a new monarch when the Queen dies.

The Elizabeth thing is difficult. Elizabeth I was NOT queen of Scotland. So Elizabeth II is Elizabeth I in Scotland. When she dies, Prince Charles will take over, but he'll die before her, and William will be King of the whole place.
9 :
She is Queen of England, Scotland, and Wales, otherwise known as Great Britain, and also of Northern Ireland, which added to Great Britain makes the United Kingdom. It is perfectly all right to refer to her as Queen of England, since she is indeed England's Queen. People who say there isn't any Queen of England are just being silly. Take no notice of them.

England is part of the United Kingdom.Elizabeth II is the monarch in the United Kingdom.When she dies,her son and heir,Charles becomes King. I suggest you visit this site:http://www.royal.gov.uk/MonarchUK/TheMonarchyToday.aspx England is located on the largest British island of Great Britain,which is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain,Scotland,Wales,Northern Islands,the Channel Islands and the Commonwealth realms and overseas territories.The Queen is monarch of these places: "Monarchy is the oldest form of government in the United Kingdom. In a monarchy, a king or queen is Head of State. The British monarchy is known as a constitutional monarchy. This means that, while The Sovereign is Head of State, the ability to make and pass legislation resides with an elected Parliament. Although the British Sovereign no longer has a political or executive role, he or she continues to play an important part in the life of the nation...." begins the discussion.

Queen Elizabeth is the Queen of England. When the queen either dies or steps down Prince Charles will become King of England, however his divorced wife CAN NOT be the Queen she has to stay with the title she has right now, whatever that is. She can't be the Queen.
14 :
Elizabeth is Queen of England , Scotland , Wales and Northern Ireland. I.E. the United Kingdom. (Kingdom = King's domain). Although she doesn't have much power at all nowadays and a lot of people don't see the point of having monarchy if they don't have any power; apart from providing the huge income from tourism of course. When Elizabeth dies, then the next person in line to the throne becomes king or queen. Prince Charles will be King Charles when Queen Elizabeth dies. After Charles it will be Prince Harry etc etc Im sure you've got the jist of it.

There is no Queen of england and hasn't been for about 400 years. The Last monarch of England was Queen Elizabeth 1st in the 1500/1600s. She was succeeded by James the 1st who became King of Great Britain which was made up of England and Sciotland. Since then, every king and queen has been the monarch of the United kingdom, which is currently made up of great Britian (England, Scotland and Wales) and Northern ireland. Therefore Queen Elizabeth II is queen of of the United Kingdom of Great britain and Northern Ireland. Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, is the queen's eldest son and is therefore the current heir to the throne. He will only be forced by law to abdicate from the throne if he marries a Roman Catholic (this is due to the act of settlememt which bans Britain from ever being ruled by a Catholic monarch)
