Up to the death of Queen Elizabeth the First, England and Scotland had different monarchs. After the death of Queen Elizabeth the First, who didn't leave any heir, the next in line to the English throne was King James the VI of Scotland. He became King James the First of England and is still often refered to as James the First and Sixth. His descendants were also rightfully the monarchs of both England and Scotland. The two kingdoms were eventually unified under the name of Britain. Britain also includes Wales, which had been under English rule since the time of King Edward the First.

What is the difference between King's English and Queen's English?
They are the same. While a king reigns, it is the King's English. While a queen reigns, it is the Queen's English------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The monarch of England is sometimes a king and sometimes a queen (at the present time, March 2013, it is Queen Elizabeth II) but the English language does not change; it is the monarch's English. We just use different terms to reflect the identity of the reigning monarch.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The expression "the queen's English" refers to the reigning British monarch. Since English currently has a queen, and has for almost 60 years, the proper expression is "the queen's English."-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I suppose when Charles becomes king, the expression might change to "the king's English."----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ACTUALLY, the expression "The King's English" refers to a title of a book written by the Fowler brothers in 1906, which deals with the English language, its pronunciation, etc. A book's title does not change just because a monarch changes. Therefore, it is "The King's English", regardless of whether the current monarch is male or female.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
