Please post a new question with the coin's denomination. If there is no country shown, it's almost certainly from England, but if there is a country (Australia, Canada, etc.) you MUST include that information to identify your coin.

Is the presidents desk the same as the queen of England's?
Monarchs serve for life, but Presidents have to be elected and can only serve two terms. Monarchs usually inherit their position from the old monarch whereas any native born citizen who lives in the country 14 years and is 35 could be president. The power a monarch has depends on the country. Most are limited by a Constitution and have a Parliament which has to be dealt with. The President has more power than most modern monarchs. However there are still a few, mostly in the Near East, who have absolute power. They can do whatever they wish; their only fear is a revolution. Both Presidents and monarchs are heads of state and live in the capital.
Why is Prince Philip not called King Phillip?
Because he wouldn't be a king.
A male who inherits the throne in England, is the King. His wife may be called Queen, but she is a Queen consort - she does not share the king's military or political power.
A female who inherits the throne is also a Queen, but she is a Queen regnant, and has all the powers of a king as described above. While her husband could be called a 'King consort', he does not have the powers of a reigning monarch, and so the term Prince or Prince Consort is used instead.

Was Queen Elizabeth II on the Titanic?
The Titanic did sank just like in the movie. Everything was real except Rose, Jack, Ruth (Rose's mother) and some other characters. Actually, one of the six survivors was Eva Hart, a seven years old girl who was with her parents at the time Titanic sank. I guess she was the director's inspiration for Rose.
Is king Henry VIII queen elizabeths 2nd grandad?
No. Although King Henry VIII had legitimate children who succeeded him to the English throne, all three - Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I - died unmarried and childless. With the death of Elizabeth in 1603, Henry VIII's line was extinguished. Queen Elizabeth II is a descendant of Henry's sister, the English princess Margaret (1489-1541), who married King James IV of Scotland (1473 - 1513). Queen Margaret's and King James' grandson, King James VI of Scotland and I of England, became the first king of England and Scotland, and also became the ancestor of the present Queen.
Who is the daughter in law of Queen Elizabeth?
In many countries a King or Queen's daughter has customarily been called a Princess. This is the custom that has been followed by the Monarchs of the United Kingdom for many centuries.
Additionally, in the UK, the title 'Princess Royal' is also conferred on the eldest daughter of the Monarch, provided that no one else (living) already holds that title. (See 'Related Links' below)
However, depending on the country, time period and Royal House, other titles have been used for the daughter of a Queen/King, e.g.
Elizabeth Lax died on June 25, 1996, in New Hay, Lancashire, England, UK of heart attack.
How many guards does Queen Elizabeth have?
The royal guards!! DUH!!!!
AnswerI assume you refer to the British Royal Guards. For any country, the Royal Guards are the special troops that protect the monoarchy and they may be called the "Palace Guards".For England, the Palace Guards are divided into 5 infantry regiments and two cavalry regiments. The names of these regiments used to guard Buckingham Palace and the other royal residences are:
The Grenadier Guards
The Coldstream Guards
The Welsch Guards
The Irish Guards
The Scots Guards
The Royal Horse Guards or The Blues and the Royals
In Britain the Queen's Life Guard, (cavalry), and Queen's Guard, ( foot guards), protect Buckingham Palace and other royal residences.
The Life Guards stand guard at Horse Guards, the official entrance to Buckingham and St James Palace.
The Queen's Guard, drawn normally from one of the five regiments of foot guards, stand guard at Buckingham Palace, St James Palace, Clarence House and the Tower of London. Source: changing-guard.com

It's an ordinary circulation coin worth face value only. Note that ALL coins of the British Commonwealth have the monarch's portrait on the reverse side so that's not a distinguishing feature.
When did queen elizabth get marrride?
These are just theories that might not be true. They could be true though. The only way to find out is to ask Queen Elizabeth I yourself (this is impossible because she's dead).
Elizabeth I of England never married. The Tudor line ended with her. She was born September 1, 1533 and died without an heir on March 24, 1603. She was sometimes called The Virgin Queen, Gloriana, or Good Queen Bess. She was the fifth and final Tudor monarch.
There are many possible reasons why she never married, starting with the fact that her father, Henry VIII, had her mother Anne Boleyn beheaded for treason, a charge which was later proved unfounded. Nevertheless this would have had a profound influence on the young princess who was herself arrested and threatened with execution for years. She also may not have wanted to share power. She was Queen Regnant (by virtue of birth), but if she had married anyone with a remote claim to the throne, it may have started a dynastic crisis, or even war. It is not true that any man she married would become the reigning monarch. She was a profound feminist at a time when feminism was simply unheard of. When in 1588 Spain sent a naval armada to (unsuccessfully) invade England, Elizabeth made a famous speech to her troops while clad in the steel breastplate of a warrior. She said, "I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a King!"
Wikipedia has a splendid article on her. Click the related link below.
Elizabeth's older sister Mary married Phillip. At Elizabeth's death the crown passed to Jame 6 of Scotland 1 of England. She was called the Virgin Queen; the US state of Virginia was named after her.

Is Naomi Scott related to the queen in England?

What can you do when your family is threatening you and your boyfriend?
This is a complex question and one you didn't give much info on. It depends on why your family is threatening and is it really threatening or is it concern regarding your choice of boyfriends? You have to be brutally honest with yourself and get those stars out of your eyes and look at your boyfriend. Is he a good guy and does he treat you right? If he loves you he shouldn't slap or hit you in any way, never stand you up on a date, never be disrespectful to you or your family. Is he secretive and never goes into the house to see your parents and honks outside to pick you up? A parent that cares really detests a guy that just screams up to the house, honks and never gives the girl's parents the respect of coming to the door and going inside simply to say hello. There is nothing wrong with him coming inside, waving and saying "Hi there Mr. & Mrs. Smith." It was like that in my day and nothing has changed much to this day. If I had a daughter you're darn rights I'd want to know who she was going out with and so would my husband. These are things parents don't like: A young man that speeds up to the door in his car, honks and waits outside while his girlfriend comes out to the car. Although opening the door for girlfriends these days is not quite a requirement it's nice, but if he doesn't have a smile on his face or a wave to you as you walk up to the car and has a sullen look on his face and tells you to hurry up and get in the car that doesn't sound like love to me. Parent's sometimes watch from the window! Dressed neatly. He could be in clean jeans and a T-shirt, or whatever fashion is in style (within reason) but if you are going somewhere very special he should be dressed for the occasion and if he isn't then you're in trouble! If he had any self esteem and he cared for you he wouldn't have to be told to do this. Tattoos and nose rings rarely cut it with parents, but it's the "in thing" now and if he has one or two your parents are going to have to realize this is no worse a fade than some of the ones we had in our day. I still don't get the tattoos and nose rings myself and as far as I'm concerned these kids that get those things done to their body missed the boat by 100 years and should have lived in parts of Africa where the culture did this to their bodies. This is not a new thing! Each to their own! Some of the nicest kids I know have rings somewhere on their body and it's the one in the eyebrow that makes me cringe only because I want to say "ouch!" LOL Parents love it when the young man is confident and parents know it's uncomfortable for their daughter's date to come inside because they have been through this themselves, but it's a right a parents has and it means the parent loves their daughter. Your boyfriend may be nervous, but it's a smart thing to do. He should be genuine about caring enough about you to want to meet your parents because you just never know if he could be their son-in-law one day. Parents enjoy their daughter's boyfriends joining in on a few special events in the family, so that gives your boyfriend big points. Remind your parents that you can't always judge a book by it's cover. Parents just love their kids so much and want to keep them as safe as they possibly can and sometimes they just get a little too over protective. I'd rather have parents like that than parents who never cared where I was. If you can honestly say this young man is a good person all the way around (your friends like him as well) then talk to your parents and don't yell or scream, but tell them you think they are unfair and what are their reasoning's for this. See if you can't meet them halfway. Ask them if you can ask him over for an evening so you can all sit down and talk and he can get to know them and vice-versa. Don't make it a long evening, but let them get to know each other slowly. Respect for your family and you are the issue here and I bet this guy isn't giving one ounce of respect. Many kids think they have their own little secret world and their parents know diddly about anything. I have a news flash .... most parent's do! We were kids once and drugs and alcohol were around then (although drugs weren't as prevalent as they are today.) We had peer pressure, parties, crashed parties, bad boyfriends or girlfriends, etc. We went to concerts where we nearly got trampled to death. We have heard the "F" word and much worse. We necked and sometimes we even had sex! Oh yeah! Can you imagine? We made mistakes, we always thought we were more mature than we actually were. We always thought our parents couldn't possibly understand how we felt and it seemed that especially our mothers seldom approved of the boyfriends daughters dated. Some of us snuck out to meet a boyfriend we knew our parent's didn't approve of, and some of us cheated on tests in school. Generations never really change. One thing most of us NEVER did, was talk to our parents with disrespect! WE DO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON! Any kid out there that thinks they have the corner on the market of "cool" is so out of touch with reality and think they are fooling an adult is sooooooooooooo wrong! Have that talk and take it slow and cool. Good luck Marcy
Who exercises the queen's authority in Canada?
Most of the Queen's powers are exercised, at the federal level, by the Governor General of Canada (the Queen's representative). The Governor General is appointed by the Queen on the advice of the prime minister. Some powers of the Queen are not delegated to the Governor General, such as the power to summon four or eight extra senators over the usual maximum seat count, and the power to veto legislation passed less than two years ago.
The Governor General is also authorised to appoint several Canadians to serve as a Deputy of the Governor General, which enables them to also exercise the Queen's authority. The Chief Justice of Canada, and the puisne justices of the Supreme Court of Canada, tend to each be tapped as a Deputy of the Governor General. Presently, the current Secretary to the Governor General is also a Deputy.
Should the Governor General be incapacitated, the Chief Justice of Canada becomes the Queen's Administrator of the Government, and can exercise all of the powers of the Governor General.
