What do you call a queens wand?
The "wand-like" object used during the Queen's coronation is called a scepter ("sceptre" in British English). In Britain, there are two scepters used for coronations: the Scepter with the Cross and the Scepter with the Dove. The Scepter with the Cross represents the Monarch's temporal authority over affairs of state and government. The Scepter with the Dove represents the Monarch's spiritual authority over the Church of England. The scepters are rarely, if ever, used outside of coronations. Nearly identical scepters are used for the coronation of the Monarch's Consort (the Queen-Consort or the Prince-Consort, currently Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh).

How did Queen Elizabeth the third get chosen to be the queen?
1. There seems to be some confusion here. The present monarch of United Kingdom is Elizabeth II (not III or 3rd). She became queen on 6 February 1952 on the death of her father, George VI. She succeeded him on the basis of well established laws on the succession: there was no question of anybody 'choosing' her from a group of candidates. 2. Winston Churchill was Prime Minister from May 1940 - July 1945 and again from November 1951 till 1955. It so happened that the accession of Elizabeth II to the throne occurred during his second premiership, but he played no part in it, though obviously he had a hand in the arrangements for her coronation on 2 June 1953. (it's customary to wait for at least 12 months after the death of the previous monarch before holding the coronation). 3. From 1936 to 1952 the reigning monarch was George VI. His wife was Queen Elizabeth, but she was a queen consort - that is, the wife of a king and NOT a monarch in her own right. She was referred to as 'Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother' after her daughter became queen in 1952.
Did Reginald Christie whisper to hide his Yorkshire accent?
Reginald Christie was known to have a distinctive Yorkshire accent, and there are suggestions that he might have whispered to minimize its prominence during conversations. This behavior could have been an attempt to appear more refined or to mask his regional background in social situations. However, there is no definitive evidence that he consistently whispered specifically for this purpose.
