Best Answer

The title "King (or Queen) of England" has not existed since 1707.

England is part of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland - the other parts being Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland.

Queen Elizabeth II inherited the monarchy from her father, George VI, upon his death in 1952.

She is Queen of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, along with a number of other countries, commonwealths, and principalities. Upon her marriage to Phillip, while she was still heiress presumptive, she did not take the name Elizabeth Mountbatten, but kept her own name as Elizabeth Windsor. This is not a technicality, or merely a symbolic statement of modernism.

The Queen's husband is Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh. He is not 'King', a title implying power to reign, but rather 'prince consort.'

Upon the death of Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, her son, will become King despite his divorced status. His wife, the former Camilla Parker Bowles, will not be Queen, as would have been usual, but will rather be 'The Princess Consort.'
