The function of Prime Minister (or PM for short) only emerged progressively in English history. The person who is considered to have been the first PM of England, although the function was not called that officially, was Robert Walpole, who served in the early 18th century under George I and George II. There simply was no PM under Elizabeth. The most important executive body would have been the Privy Council; other important functions at court include the Lord Chamberlain and any personal councellors of the queen. Queen Elizabeth I would have everyone do what she wanted. Queen Elizabeth II become Queen of several countries, such as the UK and Canada. In the UK Winston Churchill was the then PM.
