No. The head of the British government is the Prime Minister. The Queen is head of state and her functions are largely formal and ceremonial. ------------------------- Note that England does not have a devolved government.

∙ 16y agoIt is unlikely.
By convention, the Prime Minister must serve in Parliament's lower house, the House of Commons. The Sovereign of the United Kingdom (not England) may not even enter the House of Commons because that body has the right to debate independently. Nor may the Sovereign vote.
The Prime Minister is the person whom the Sovereign believes has the best chance of forming a government, and is therefore, usually, the head of the majority party. The Prime Minister is the subject of, and, at least symbolically, serves the Sovereign. It is difficult to imagine that a person could fulfill the constitutional duties as the Head of State and Head of Government at the same time without conflict.
The current Queen, Elizabeth II, however, could always resign as Sovereign and then run for Parliament.

∙ 11y agoThere has not been a Queen (or King) of England for over 300 years.
England is a part of, but not the same as, The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The Queen is the head of state the United Kingdom but has no power or influence in creating laws or the day to day running of the state.
This falls to the Prime Minister who is currently David Cameron. He leads the government which is formed by whomever can attain a majority in the House of Commons, the lower house of the UK's legislature.
The Queen however formally calls General Elections and invites people to form Governments and become Prime Minister. However she does this under the instruction of sitting Prime Minister and established conventions.

Whereas the Prime Minister is Head of the Government, the Queen is Head of State. Technically the PM gets on with running the country whilst the Queen represents the country/nation at engagements, state visits, investitures, etc. If we did get rid of the Queen we still need a Head of State, probably a President. Many presidents are no more than figureheads (like the Queen).

It depends on the country. In the USA, the President is the Head of State-- this means he is the person who is the leader of our government.

Who is the official Head of State?
There is no mention of an official Head of State in the Australian Constitution. Most people have historically regarded Queen Elizabeth as the Head of State, however, in recent years, some people have argued that the Governor-General could also be the Head of State, since he or she now exercises almost all of the Queen's powers in Australia. From the way the Australian Constitution is written, it seems more likely that the Queen is the actual Head of State, since the Governor-General is officially the Queen's representative in Australia.
