Where did Queen Victoria live?

HM Queen Victoria by all accounts found country life to be most amiable delighting in home, hearth and her often all consuming passion for Prince Albert. The Queen only maintained three principal residences. Each offering limited accessibility and heightened privacy congruent with the populaces "limited" knowledge of the royal progresses of the day. Frogmore in Windsor Great Park was handy to the capital and served as the Queens unofficial, "official" residence. Buckingham Palace was rarely used by the Queen, Prince Albert or their children. Cold, droughty and depressing, Buckingham Palace underwent myriad incarnations during much of the nineteenth century thus leaving it "most inhospitable". The royal family all preferred life in the Scottish highlands spending up to three quarters of a year at the Highland retreat; Balmoral. Privately purchased by the Queen and Prince Albert shortly after their marriage. Osbourne house on the isle of Wight off the Southampton coast was conceived by Prince Albert. Every aspect of this Itaianate "villa" was either designed, constructed or chiefly managed by the Prince Consort. Prince Albert, in fact, died at Osbourne of typhoid in 1861. In the years following Prince Alberts death, the Queen primarily resided at Balmoral and rarely used Frogmore or *Osbourne again. *As history is wont to follow, the Queen, was in residence at Osbourne House at the time of her demise 19 January 1901, some thirty-nine years after Prince Albert.

Where did Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth first meet?

According to a web site.... "Philip was born Philippos Prince of Greece and Denmark on the Greek Island of Corfu in 1921. His father was Prince Andrew, younger brother of King Constantine of Greece, and his mother Princess Alice of Battenberg. He is a great-great-grandchild of Queen Victoria though his mother's family. The monarchy of Greece was overthrown in 1922, and George V sent a Royal Navy ship HMS Calypso to rescue them. The one-year old Philip was carried to safety in an orange box. The family lived in Paris but his parents' marriage broke up and Philip went to school in England, Germany and then Gordonstoun in Scotland where he was head of the school cricket and hockey teams and became head boy. Princess Elizabeth and Philip first met when they attended the wedding of Philip's cousin, Princess Marina of Greece to The Duke of Kent, who was an uncle of Princess Elizabeth, in 1934."

What type of political system is headed by Queen Elizabeth II of England?

Britain is a "parliamentary monarchy". That is to say, Parliament runs the country in the name of the Queen. As Britain has no written constitution, the exact role of the Monarch is hard to assertain. In practice, Parliament (specifically, the Prime Minister) runs the country during the day-to-day. The Queen is purely a figurehead, with mostly ceremonial duties. However, the theory is more complex. The Queen is the only person with the power and (most importantly) the authority to: Declare war, dissolve Parliament, dimiss the Prime Minister, appoint a new Prime Minister etc. This makes the Queen of England, the most powerful monarch of any democracy. -She is Commander in Chief of all British forces; troops swear an oath of alligence to her.

The United Kingdom has a bi-cameral parliament for the entire country.

The upper house, the House of Lords, is made up of members appointed by the Queen for life. These members are nominated by the government and the opposition parties. The House of Lords is responsible for reviewing and refining legislation. It cannot veto a bill, and it cannot comment on finance (supply) bills.

The lower house, the House of Commons, is fully elected by the adult population of the country using the "first past the post" (non-proportional) system. It can veto changes made by the House of Lords.

The government is made up of the largest party in the House of Commons, with the leader of that party being appointed Prime Minister. The largest party since 1997 is the Labour Party and the Prime Minister since earlier in 2007 is Gordon Brown.

There are also three other parliament-type assemblies in the United Kingdom following "devolution".

In Wales, there is an Assembly, semi-proportionally elected, with limited powers. It is currently a Labour-Plaid Cymru coalition, led by Labour's Rhodri Morgan.

In Scotland, there is a full unicameral parliament which has full responsibility for everything in Scotland except macro-finance, broadcasting, defence and foreign affairs. It is currently an SNP minority government, led by Alex Salmond.

In Northern Ireland, there is an Assembly. This was only established recently after many attempts. It is designed to be a coalition as a default. The current leading partners are the DUP, who represent protestant interests, and Sinn Fein, who represent catholic interests. The Rev Ian Paisley leads the Assembly.

England does not have a separate parliament, assembly or government.

Different arrangements apply in the islands that are British but are not part of the United Kingdom - Jersey, Guernsey, Sark and the Isle of Man - all of which have their own forms of government with the Queen as constitutional monarch.

The Queen is also Queen of Canada, Australia and New Zealand, plus several other countries. In each of these, she is also a constitutional monarch. These countries are not ruled by the British Government, although in several small islands (Bermuda, Falklands for instance) the British Government is responsible for defense and foreign affairs.
