But there was a legal age for ruling a country, just like driving and drinking today so until that age, a young monarch would have someone to rule for them

When was Queen Victoria's husband born?
They were both ethnically German. Victoria's mother was fully German and her father was descended from Germans. Her governess was German and she spoke German before she spoke English. Albert was Victoria's cousin and was fully German.
The Germans came in when Queen Anne (1665-1714) died without any heirs. The throne was to pass to her cousin Sophia, Electress of Hanover (1630-1714) (German), but Sophia died before Anne did, so the throne passed to her son who became George I (1660-1727). So all the monarchs of Britain since then have German ancestry.

What does Queen Elizabeth II work as?
The Queen's working day begins like many people's - at her desk.
After scanning the daily British newspapers, The Queen reviews her correspondence.
Every day, 200-300 (and sometimes many more) letters from the public arrive. The Queen chooses a selection to read herself and tells members of her staff how she would like them to be answered.
This enables Her Majesty personally to see a typical cross-section of her daily correspondence. Virtually every letter is answered by staff in her Private Secretary's office or by a lady-in-waiting.
The Queen will then see, separately, two of her Private Secretaries with the daily quota of official papers and documents. This process takes upwards of an hour.
Every day of every year, wherever she is, The Queen receives from government ministers, and from her representatives in the Commonwealth and foreign countries, information in the form of policy papers, Cabinet documents, telegrams, letters and other State papers.
These are sent up to her by the Private Secretaries in the famous 'red boxes'. All of these papers have to be read and, where necessary, approved and signed.
A series of official meetings or 'audiences' will often follow. The Queen will see a number of important people.
These include overseas ambassadors and high commissioners, newly appointed British ambassadors, senior members of the British and Commonwealth Armed Forces on their appointment and retirement, and English bishops and judges on their appointment.
Each meeting usually lasts 10 to 20 minutes, and usually The Queen and her visitor meet alone.
The Queen may also meet a number of people who have won prizes or awards in a variety of fields such as literature or science, to present them individually with their prize.
If there is an Investiture - a ceremony for the presentation of honours and decorations - it begins at 11.00am and lasts just over an hour. The Queen usually meets around 100 people at each Investiture to present Orders, decorations and medals.
The Queen will often lunch privately. Every few months, she and The Duke of Edinburgh will invite a dozen guests from a wide variety of backgrounds to an informal lunch. Occasionally, the guest list may consist of far fewer people, such as a newly appointed or retiring Governor-General and their guest.
If The Queen is spending the morning on engagements away from her desk and other commitments, she will visit up to three venues before lunch, either alone or jointly with The Duke of Edinburgh.
On a regional visit, The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh lunch with a wide variety of people in places ranging from town halls to hospitals.
When was the Church of England founded?
The Church of England was founded in 1534, when the English church broke away from Rome at the insistence of King Henry VIII
The Church in England did not break away from ,'Rome,' what it did was to point out to the Bishop of Rome that he had no authority to interfere in another Bishop's see!
This is perfectly true, the Ecumenical Councils of Nice, Ephesus and Chalcedon all have Canons bearing on the matter! So much so that the latter had a hard time getting accepted by Pope Leo and it was only the weight of the Catholic Church that made him ungraciously bear with it!
This is what the Church in England did, in effect it took sides with the Orthodox Church who Rome separated from on this issue! As for 'founding,' of the Church? Albanicus the Wise, [Gildas the Celtic Historian,] claimed that the Church was here in 37 AD.
Regarding breaking away? The separation of Rome and the English Church took place in 1570 when the Pope called his supporters [2%] out of the Church in England and set up a branch of his new Trent Church!

When is the diamond anniversary for Queen Elizabeth II?
The 60th anniversary of Elizabeth's crowning was on February 6 2012. The Jubilee Bank Holiday will be on June 5 (Next Tuesday)
That is incorrect the 60th anniversary of crowning is not until 2ndJune 2013. The crowning (Coronation) did not take place until the year after her accession to the throne. So this year (2012) is only the 59th anniversary of actual crowning. The reason The Queen does not celebrate the date of her accesssion on the actual date (6th Feb 1952) is that it is also the anniversary of her father's death.

What happened to Queen Elizabeth between the years of 1992 - 2002?
1992 was a very bad year for Queen Elizabeth II- Prince Charles and princess Diana announced that they were to divorce, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson DID divorce, and then at the end of the year a large part of Windsor Castle was gutted by a huge fire, which destroyed several state rooms and badly damaged St. George's Chapel. She wryly described the year as her 'annus horribilis'. In that year she also made state visits to Malta, France and Germany.
She made a considerbale number of state visits throughout the 1990s, including to Russia, Hungary, South Africa, Malaysia, Poland, the Czech Republic, India and South Korea (Google can provide you with a full time-line of her state visits).
Charles and Diana finally divorced on 28th August 1996. The following year, Diana was killed in a car crash in a Parisian underpass on 31st August along with her lover Dodi Fayed and their driver, Henri Paul. Her death shocked and stunned the British nation, and saw an outpouring of emotional mourning not seen since the death of Winston Churchill 32 years earlier. The Queen declared an official period of mourning and lead the official State funeral. Prince Charles later went on to court his long-time sweetheart Camilla Parker-Bowles.
Queen Elizabeth's youngest son prince Edward married his long-time girlfriend Sophie Rhys-Jones on 19th June 1999. At the Millenium Celebrations at the end of that year, the Queen gave a special address to the nation, and there was a firework display at Buckingham Palace.
Her younger sister, Princess Margaret, died on 9th February 2002 at the age of 72, from a stroke caused by arteriosclerosis brought on by a lifetime of heavy smoking.
Only 7 weeks later, the Queen also lost her mother, who passed away on 31st March at the great age of 101. However, the year progressed on to a happier note when she celebrated her Golden Jubilee in early June.
