    Congratulations your Majesty

    Cool.
  • JohnBoyUKJohnBoyUK
    Now she's got her record, perhaps she should think about retiring so someone else can have a go, maybe?

    *grabs the popcorn*

    Is she likely to be the last Queen?

    She has the British record but there's a long way (19 years) to go to get to the global top spot. Currently 48th according to Wiki...

    Regardless of views on the monarchy she's a good ambassador for our nation.

    Have to agree with that. I'm not a fan of the (extended) Royal 'family' as such but the Queen herself has been a very good ambassador for the nation. Dont get me started on Princes Andrew and Edward though.

    Hear Hear !

    Very apt that she is spending the day in Scotland, now they have voted to stay in the United Kingdom.

    Let me clarify that. Will she be the UK's last female monarch?

    Kate would be Queen if William makes it to King I believe (Philip isn't King because King outranks Queen).

    Regardless of views on the monarchy she's a good ambassador for our nation.
    Forgive my ignorance, but wouldn't Camilla be Queen? Is there anything in the constitution that prevents Camilla being Queen?

    Dont they call the king or queen consort?
  • ValleyGaryValleyGary
    Wouldnt she be Queen consort? Therefore she would just be a title, and have no actual power.

    No. They changed the rules of succession so that the first born will take the throne, not the first born boy. Thus, even though it is Charles, William then George if George's first born is a girl then she would be Queen. I suspect that none of us will see that, however.

    I thought she wasn't allowed that title because she'd been divorced or something like that.

    congratulation your majesty,
  • smudge7946smudge7946
    The BBC claimed that the Queen is running late today,
    Her majesty is never late. Everyone else is simply early.

    63 years of unelected rule, such an achievement

    Well done Ma'am as in jam, but some way to go to beat Victoria on number of pubs named after you.

    Or parks named after King George
  • daveaddickdaveaddick
    shine166 as the Queen has no re constitutional power why would we need to elect her ? I have no particular affinity to the monarchy but the achievement is remarkable and he Queen has represented out country brilliantly over 63 years.

    Congratulations to her all respect
