When did Queen Elizabeth II dad die?
Queen Elizabeth I was the daughter of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII, the second Tudor monarch to grace the English throne. Born Henry Tudor in 1491 at Greenwich Palace, Henry VIII was the youngest son of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. Given his unfortunate birth order, he was never expected to become king. Life circumstances were not in his favour. It would only be upon his older brother's untimely death that he would find himself an heir to the throne. Henry died in London on January 28, 1547. He had been grossly overweight later in life, which attributed to various underlying health problems. There has also been speculation that he possibly suffered from syphylis and untreated Type II diabetes.
How many times is the queen's birthday celebrated?
Surprisingly she has two.
Queen Elizabeth II was born on 21 April 1926.
She's spends her birthday in private normally at Windsor Castle.
But, the Queen also celebrates an 'official' birthday in the month of June.
That means she has two birthday celebrations a year.
Official celebrations to mark a King or Queen's birthday in the UK have often been held on a day that isn't their actual birthday.
Usually the official birthday happens in summer because there is a better chance of good weather in the UK during the summer months.
The two birthday tradition was started more than 250 years ago by King George II in 1748
On her "official birthday", Her Majesty is joined by other members of the Royal Family at the Trooping the Colour parade.
Over 1400 officers and men/woman are on parade, 200 horses, and more than 400 musicians will take part in the event each year in London.

Does the Queen control Canada?
Canada was previously a British colony. While it was a colony, the Queen of England had dominion over Canada. From 1867-1931 Canada became a Commonwealth with its own Prime Minister. In 1931 it became completely dependent from Great Britain and the Queen no longer had any dominion over the country.
Was Queen Elizabeth Queen of all Canada?
yes
---------------------------
This Queen was never the ruler of Canada. Even the slightest such comment from her would have created a Constitutional Crisis particularly after the Balfour Declaration of 1926. If the Queen or Britain wanted anything from Canada they would do so through their Ambassador called a High Commissioner.
The Governor General in Canada does not answer to QEII, or any Queen other than the ceremonial one on Canadian paper. The Governor General, David Lloyd Johnston, fulfills a ceremonial role for the Canadian People and our elected representatives via the Prime Minister of Canada.
Though many do long for the days when we answered to Britain, our political references to the Queen and Royal stations are ceremonial only. Canada is independent from Britain politically.

Why was Queen Elizabeth 1 important?
Queen Elizabeth I lead England as a woman, in what was very much a man's world. In a speech to her troops at Tilbury she famously said:
"I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too."
The "Elizabethan Age" was also known as the "Golden Age", because England's economy prospered and Elizabeth I's court became the centre for musicians, writer and scholars. Her reign witnessed widespread increase in literacy and great achievements in the arts - great poets and playwrights emerged during her era such as William Shakespeare, Edmund Spenser and Christopher Marlowe.
As well as encouraging the arts, a renaissance in scientific thinking was encouraged and important men such as Sir Francis Bacon and Dr John Dee came to prominence.
While Queen Elizabeth I established Protestantism as the country's religion, she adopted a moderate religious policy and did not persecute Catholics with conviction. The Acts of Supremacy and Uniformity (1559), the introduction of the Prayer Book of 1559, and the Thirty-Nine Articles (1563) were all Protestant in doctrine, but preserved many traditionally Catholic ceremonies.
The reign of Queen Elizabeth I also saw significant expansion overseas. Great explorers were encouraged such as Sir Francis Drake, Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir John Hawkins, Sir Humphrey Gilbert and Sir Richard Greenville. She permitted establishment of the first English colony in North America, along with the creation of the British East India Company - the joint-stock company that would eventually colonise India.
Militarily she achieved recognition for England as a leading power in Europe. A major accomplishment was the defeat of the Spanish Armada of 1588 by the English fleet of 34 ships and 163 armed merchant vessels under Lord Howard of Effingham, Sir Francis Drake, and Sir John Hawkins. The English navy defeated further attempts at invasion in 1596 and 1597.
Her reign also saw several rebellions - the Irish "The Rising of the North" and the Essex rebellion - all of which she defeated.
How did Queen Elizabeth the second achieve her goals?
queen elizabeths two goals were scoared when she played for the japanise football team she was an ace football player she scored one in the first five minuites and the last one in the last five minuites!!!

HRM Queen Elizabeth II is officially non-political. She does not participate in political debate, and her official roles in the government include actions such as the official Opening of Parliament, official appointment of the Prime Minister (after his party has won election), commissioning officers of the armed forces, and granting pardons and reprieves. The Queen maintains distance from everyday political exercises.
The official role of Sovereign is to represent the British people and to only involve itself in government if the government is getting out-of-hand and becoming harmful to the people; in her long reign as Queen, Her Majesty has never had to take any such drastic measures. It is thought that the Queen is a moderate conservative, although she and her family members have spoken out numerous times in defense of the poor and underprivileged in Britain.
The short answer is, no one is really sure.
