Are Scotland and Ireland a part of United Kingdom of Great Britain?
England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales make up the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland is not part of the United Kingdom. Great Britain refers just to the island that contains England, Scotland and Wales. So the United Kingdom is not the same as Great Britain.
Is Great Britain and british the same?
No. The British Isles are a collection of islands off the coast of mainland Europe. It is a geographical term, not a country. Great Britain is the largest of these islands, comprising the countries of England, Scotland and Wales. Together with Northern Ireland, these three countries form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly referred to as the United Kingdom or the UK. Northern Ireland is on the island of Ireland, which also contains the Republic of Ireland. The island of Ireland is included when referring to the British Isles. The Republic of Ireland is not part of the United Kingdom.

There 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.

See the related question links below.
Are England's monarchs and great Britain's monarchs the same?
No. The political structure of The British Isles has changed several times throughout history, with consequent changes to the title of the monarch. During the reign of Queen Ann, in 1707 the crowns of England and Scotland were united; before then the monarchs were kings and queens of England and after this date they were Kings and Queens of The United Kingdom of Great Britain. In 1801, the crown of Ireland was added to the union and the monarch then reigned over The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. In 1920 the Southern part of Ireland became independent and the British monarch then reigned over The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
When did Great Britain change its name to the United Kingdom?
Great Britain was never renamed the United Kingdom. They are not the same thing. This is a common confusion. The United Kingdom is England, Scotland, Wales and Northen Ireland.

It is sometimes mistakenly referred to as GB or Great Britain. That only includes England, Scotland and Wales. The United Kingdom includes that and also Northern Ireland.
