England doesn't have a Governor General- it's Head of state is the ruling monarch, who at present is Queen Elizabeth II, and it's top political figure is the Prime Minister, who is currently David Cameron.
The role of a Governor-General was confined to Britain's former colonies, but nowadays the role has been abolished in most of them and in the cases of those who DO retain one, his or her role is mostly just ceremonial.
It depends on the country in question. For members of the British Commonwealth, it is Queen Elizabeth II.
I don't
the answer is the queen
I can think of a few.1. Regent - a regent is someone who is appointed to rule a country while the monarch is unable to do so themselves- usually it's when the monarch is a young child, or is mentally handicapped.2. Viceroy - a viceroy is someone who is appointed to rule a colony for a monarch. The monarch is usually too far away to rule it themselves, so the Viceroy handles it for them.3. Governor-general - very similar to a Viceroy, a governor-general usually rules an independent country that still acknowledges a monarch as their ruler. Canada and Australia, which are independent countries, each have a governor-general who rules the country in the name of the Queen of the United Kingdom.

Governor General of Canada, Holder name is David Lloyd Johnston
David Johnston is the Governor General for 2011.
Constitutionally, the Governor General is the chief executive officer and commander-in-chief of Canada, and carries out the government of Canada in the Queen's name. The Governor General's role is to carry out the functions of goverment. Actual decision making and debate is left to politicians, but the Governor General does have to grant assent to all legislation issued by Parliament or the Cabinet, call elections and referendums, appoint officials such as ministers and senators, conduct diplomatic relations with other governments, ect... Generally, the Governor General performs these duties on the advice of the Prime Minister, but the Governor General can exercise discretion in some cases, and always has the right to be informed and give advice to the ministers. The Governor General represents the Queen in Canada, and most of the Queen's authority has been delegated to the Governor General as her personal representative. The Governor General plays an important role in granting Canadian honours, and participates in civilian and military ceremonies throughout the country and abroad. The Governor General also represents Canada internationally by conducting state visits.
