Happy Birthday Queen Elizabeth!

[Lancecastor]

Best Queen of England I've ever been reigned on!

I think she is super cool.

Almost certainly The World's Last Great Monarch.

Happy birthday to Her Majesty Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Canada and of Her other realms and territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.

She seems like a very nice lady.

 

[Lancecastor]

I'm sensing she's not much fun in the sack.

Her Majesty's full titles

In the United Kingdom, since 1953 Her Majesty's full title has been:

In English: Her Majesty 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
In Latin: Elizabeth II, Dei Gratia Britanniarum Regnorumque Suorum Ceterorum Regina, Consortionis Populorum Princeps, Fidei Defensor


Defender of the Faith/Fidei Defensor (F.D. on coins) is an oddity. It was a title awarded to King Henry VIII by the then Pope. That worked out well, didn't it?

Her titles vary across the various states for which she is Head of State:

I think she's holding on, hoping her dopey son dies before she does.

 

[MichaelinChina]

I hope she fucks off and dies soon and takes her whole inbred family with her.

...and what is wrong with just plain Liz?

...and what is wrong with just plain Liz?

Nothing. She has many more 'unofficial' nicknames. The list above is of the semi-official titles.

 

[oggbashan]

Does Nebraska have a navy?

 

[MichaelinChina]

Nothing. She has many more 'unofficial' nicknames. The list above is of the semi-official titles.

She's a 'Duke' and a 'Lord'? (semi-officially)

 

[oggbashan]

She's a 'Duke' and a 'Lord'? (semi-officially)

Yes. Duke of Normandy for two of the Channel Islands, and Lord of the Isle of Man, which are NOT part of the United Kingdom.

She has many other military and civilian titles as well but the official list shows those that are normally used.

In Canada she is 'Chief Hunter of the Buffalo Hunt'.

Why isn't she Duchess and Lady? She is a woman, after all. Isn't she?

I'd bet he's hoping for the same, frankly.

 

[oggbashan]

Duchess is the title of the WIFE of a Duke.

Lady is a courtesy title for the WIFE of a Lord.

If a woman holds rank in her own right, she has that title and her husband doesn't get a title.

Women members of the UK House of Lords are Peers, not 'Peeresses' despite media ignorance.

Undergraduates and graduates of UK universities are both male and female.

Members and Fellows of Royal Societies are both male and female.

It is the rank that matters, not the sex.

 

[Lancecastor]

When Elizabeth was 13, she met her cousin and future husband at a croquet match.

Love at first sight.

Why, yes, yes it does.



Maybe not the deep blue kind...

She is married to the DUKE of Edinburgh!

 

[oggbashan]

She is married to the DUKE of Edinburgh!

That is HIS title as a Royal Duke. It was suggested that he be called Prince Consort like Prince Albert to Queen Victoria but that was rejected. Albert has been the only one.

I think they should both be referred to as Queens...

 

[pensivepoet]

How bad are the actual mothers in BC that Liz had to adopt everyone there?
Mother of all people is a lot of pressure.

Ask those in BC that gave Her Majesty that title.

It was probably male politicians.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Maybe that got lost in translation, Canadian accent and politeness...

Mother [fucker], of ALL people...

Pidgin Titles

The Prince of Wales spoke in the local language called Tok Pisin as he introduced himself as the "nambawan pikinini bilong Misis Kwin" – the number one child belonging to Mrs Queen. Similarly, when the Duke of Edinburgh visits he is addressed as "oldfella Pili-Pili him bilong Misis Kwin".
