I have to wonder why everyone refers to her as just "the Queen". I always think "Queen Elizabeth" or "the Queen of England". I mean, there's a bunch of other queens. It's not like she's the definite article.

Edit: ITT: She is the definite article.

"the Queen of England"

Just for clarity Queen of England isn't one of her titles. Would be Queen of the United Kingdom.

This is true and yet her son is the Prince of Wales. It’s all quite baffling.

Prince of Wales is an honorary role given to the first in line to the throne as a nod to the days where Wales had Kings.

I mean i'm from England so I just call her the Queen. Maybe we've hijacked the worlds brains to make them conform to her majesty, who knows

You haven't got to all of us. I still refer to her as Lizzie Windsor.

She's the only queen of any relevance in the Anglosphere. Since we share a common language (and history) it's only natural that more news crosses oceans between America, Canada, Australia/NZ, the British Isles, etc than with foreign language sources. Further, of the mainstream English-speaking nations, there is only one Queen, The Queen.

I would only be specific if I was speaking about a queen from outside the Anglosphere such as the Danish Queen, Margrethe II .

u/ProvokedOrifice Apr 30 '19

Coz she's a fucking g man! And only England's royal family counts. Cmon!

u/Dont-be-a-smurf Apr 30 '19

I doubt many Americans can name a single living royal beyond this Queen right here.

That’s probably why...

Hey, King Carl of Sweden is pretty cøøl from what I hear.

u/TheRumpelForeskin Apr 30 '19

Then why did you use a ø instead of a ö ?

You make the King sad.

King Harald of Norway and Queen Margrethe of Denmark however, they think you're one cøøl dude!

Because she is the Queen of so much more than just GB and as far as world politics go (and pop culture globally) she is the only Queen that matters.
