the thing that made Elizabeth1 a successful queen was her strength of character and religious tolerance!

Freddie Mercury , lead singer of Queen ,passed away November 24th 1991, before his time suffering from pneumonia , an HIV/ AIDS complication.

(catergory) Queen Elizibeth II however is alive and well.

A person's birthday is the date of the person's birth. If you were born at 12:01 am or later, you birthday is on the new day, even if your mother began labor before midnight.

People can be born on any of the 365 days in a year. If in a Leap Year, the person could be born on Feb. 29th.

She followed her uncle, William IV, when he died in 1837 as he had no legitimate son. (I'm a bit puzzled by the suggestion implicit in the question that she needed help in order to become queen). == ==

Buckingham Palace in London and the Palace of Holyrood in Edinburgh. Kensington Palace and St James' palace in London are used as offices and residences for other members of the Royal Family.

They Queen also has use of Windsor Castle near London, Sandringham House in Norfolk and Balmoral Castle in the Scottish Highlands.

She is head of state in sixteen states: Antigua & Barbuda, Australia, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts & Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, The Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, and the United Kingdom.

Technically, the United Kingdom consists of four countries: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.

A Royal event, like a wedding or a birthday, must be carefully coordinated among many different schedules. Consequently, the official birthday celebrations are moved to a convenient date somewhere near the actual date, sort of the way the USA has Monday holidays to provide three-day weekends.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a Constitutional Monarchy, with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as Head of State.

This means that all actions of the government are carried out in the name of the Queen, but decisions are made by the elected Prime Minister, The Cabinet and Members of the Houses of Parliament.

Elizabeth I came to the throne in 1558 after the death of her older half sister, Mary I. The true succession of the children of Henry VIII after he died, were: Edward VI, Mary I and then Elizabeth I.
She inherited the throne from her half sister queen Mary (bloody Mary) who died childless.

According to Margaret Rhodes, the Queen's cousin, HM's alcohol intake never varies. She takes a gin and Dubonnet before lunch, with a slice of lemon and a lot of ice. She will take wine with lunch and a dry Martini and a glass of champagne in the evening. That comes to six units a day, which would make Her Majesty a binge drinker by Government standards.

Common written history states that Elizabeth I never married, never bore children and died "without issue," ending England's Tudor Dynasty. (This is why Queen Elizabeth I is known as "The Virgin Queen.") The English throne passed to King James VI of Scotland, who became King James I of England. Although the two countries shared a monarch, they remained separate kingdoms. James was the son of Mary Queen of Scots, who was beheaded for plotting to overthrow Elizabeth (they were cousins).

England hasn't had its own king or queen for 300 years. The current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, has been queen of the United Kingdom (which includes England) since 1952 and had her silver jubilee in 1977 (25 years). Her golden jubilee (50 years) was in 2002 and her diamond jubilee, 60 years on the throne, will be celebrated this year (2012). If she survives for another 4 years - she is now 85 - she will be the longest reigning British monarch of all time.

They both attended a wedding in 1934, but their most significant encounter was in July, 1939. Thirteen-year-old Princess Elizabeth and her sister, Princess Margaret, accompanied their father, King George VI, to the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth. Philip, a dashing young naval cadet, was assigned to entertain them. The future queen immediately became smitten with him and they began a correspondence. They married eight years later on November 20, 1947.

You would be charged with murder under regular UK laws.

However, it would be hard to guarantee a fair jury on such an emotionally charged trial, and such a killer is sure to face some kind of vigilante action too.

Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother was born on August 4, 1900, in St. Paul's Waldenbury, Hertfordshire, England, UK.

Sister Elizabeth Kenny was not married. She adopted Mary, her daughter, who although now very elderly, lives on the Sunshine Coast, north of Brisbane, Queensland. Apparently she was in love with a South African man during the war. He later married and died quite early on.

Queen Elizabeth II's eldest grandchild is Peter Mark Andrew Phillips. He was born on 15th November 1977 and is the son of the Queen's only daughter, Princess Anne, and her first husband Mark Phillips. He is currently 11th in line to the British Throne.

The House of Windsor is the name taken in 1917 by the House of Saxe-Coburg Gotha during World War I. They have ruled the United Kingdon of Great Britain and Ireland since 1901, and since 1922 the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The Kindom of England ceased to exist with the Act of Union of 1707, so there has never been a Windsor monarch of England.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

England is a part of the United Kingdom, but the title Queen (or King) of England no longer exists; there has not been a Queen (or King) of England for over 300 years.
