I am not entirely sure if you are enquiring about the meaning of being queen, or the meaning of being the 2nd Elizabeth. I will address both issues briefly. Queen Elizabeth II is the ceremonial ruler of England and the British Commonwealth (she is also the official head of state of several countries including Canada and Australia). As such, she gives her approval to laws that are passed by the British Parliament (in other countries, a Governor General does that on her behalf). But her approval is automatic. She never vetoes anything. (It has been said that even if Parliament ordered the execution of the queen, she would still be obligated to give royal assent to her own execution - not that anyone actually wishes to execute her; she is very well liked.) As for being Queen Elizabeth II, that only means that there used to be a queen Elizabeth I, so the current queen is the second British monarch to be named Elizabeth.
