Who is Queen Elizabeth II Scotland?

Answer 1

Answer

Scotland is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, so Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the current monarch is in effect Queen of Scotland although that title does not formally exist.

In actual fact, Queen Elizabeth II is only Queen Elizabeth II in England. As Scotland had never previously had a Queen Elizabeth, Queen Elizabeth II is actually only Queen Elizabeth I in Scotland. (The previous Queen Elizabeth in England was not a monarch in Scotland as the Union of the Crowns occurred on her death with James VI of Scotland becoming King in England (in England he was known as James I)).

There are some factual errors here.

James I of England was James VI of Scots (note Scots not Scotland in the title)

This was because there were two distinct kingdoms he reigned over.

The two kingdoms were united into Great Britain in 1707 (later becoming the United Kingdom in 1801 when Ireland was added in)

Since that time Monarchs take the highest ordinal number that has existed in either England (from 1066) or Scotland.

There have been 3 Richards in England and none in Scotland. If there was another King Richard he would be Richard IV of the UK

Similalry there have been 3 Roberts in Scotland and none in England. If there was another King Robert he would be Robert IV of the UK

Hence the current Queen is Elizabeth II in both countries.

There may be some Scottish nationist who would take issue with this but desiring on thing is different to how it actually is and besides, they could still be independent with the same Queen as in Austraila or Canada she is afterall probably more Scottish than English and overall more German one could argue.

Answer 2

"Yes, she was from a noble Scottish family."

That is not quite true, and is the opposite argument to those who say that the Queen is German, and , supporters of the Queen point then out that she was born in England, so she is not German but English (and British)

The Royal family changed their name from Saxe-Coburg Gotha to Windsor, to hid their German origins during the First World War

(and so far, have failed to change it back! Are they still ashamed of their German origins?)

In fact the Queen Mother's actual precise place of birth is unknown, and her birth certificate is known to be inaccurate, and it is well documented to be so.

However, wherever it was she was born, it was in England, NOT Scotland , and she is therefore as 'English born ' as her parents and their parents etc ........

Bowes Lyon title was just an inherited Scottish title .

The 'Scottish Queen' , as she was known is just a straightforward MYTH (if not a deliberate lie)

(Recent accusations are that she was not even the daughter of her 'Mother' stated on here birth certificate, but it is asserted that she was actually the daughter of a French Cook -Marguerite Rodiere-' and perhaps, surprisingly, to add credence to this, she was christened Elizabeth Angela MARGUERITE Bowes-Lyon .

(Very nice of them to name her 'Marguerite' after their French Cook !! -Or was there more to it ?)

The Queen Mother 'Scottish' , I don't think so. And if the above is true, the Queen can now add French, to her GERMAN origins.

Answer 3

Queen Elizabeth II is the current monarch of the United Kingdom, which includes Scotland. She has been the Queen since 1952 and is the longest-reigning monarch in British history.
