Has Queen Elizabeth II ever curtsied to someone?
Yes. She would have surely have curtsied to her father the King and probably to her mother also before she was made Queen.
What impact did Elizabeth's rule have on England?
The Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II was the ceremony in which the newly ascended monarch, Elizabeth II, was crowned Queen of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Ceylon, and Pakistan, as well as taking on the role of Head of the Commonwealth. Elizabeth ascended the thrones of these countries upon the death of her father, King George VI on 6 February 1952, and was proclaimed queen by her various privy and executive councils shortly afterward. The coronation, was held more than a year after the accession, on 2 June 1953; this followed the tradition that a festival such as a coronation was inappropriate during the period of mourning that followed the death of the preceding sovereign. In the coronation ceremony itself, Elizabeth swore an oath to uphold the laws of her nations and, specifically for England, to govern the Church of England.
When will the Queen of England pass on the throne?
Currently, the Heir Apparent is his Royal Highness The Prince Charles, who (if he survives) will immediately become King when Queen Elizabeth II dies.
It is thought extremely unlikely that Elizabeth II will abdicate, or "step down."
See the related question link below.
Can queen Elizabeth skip Charles as successor and move to William?
The Queen doesn't have the power to do that. The succession to the throne is determined by law, and it's not her personal property. It would require an Act of Parliament to bypass Prince Charles.
How did England prosper under Queen Elizabeth I?
By adapting Mercantilism, as a starter. The English East India Company whom she gave charter, did, for more than a century what the British Crown should be doing. The Company was an English surrogate.

During the years 1690 to 1691, Kelsey travelled with the Cree Nation and explored what is now northern Manitoba from Hudson Bay to the Saskatchewan River. He is traditionally believed to be the first recorded European man to see what are now the provinces of Alberta andSaskatchewan.
He is the first European travelling from the north known to have seen the prairies, the greatbuffaloherds, grizzly bears, and the many Great Plains First Nations tribes.[3](Francisco Vásquez de Coronado had reached Kansas from New Mexico in 1540-42.)
After years in Canada, Kelsey returned at age 55 to England in 1722. He died two years later, and was buried in St Alfege's Church, Greenwich. There is a commemorative plaque to his name.[2]

Who are the governor and lieutenant governor of Ontario?
Ontario does not have a Governor, only a Lieutenant Governor, as the provincial Crown representative was historically subordinate to the federal Governor General. The current Lieutenant Governor of Ontario is Her Honour The Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell, OC, OOnt.
It is important to note that, while the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario acts as the head of state of the province on behalf of the Queen, political direction comes from the provincial Premier, who is appointed by the Lieutenant Governor as the person most likely to hold the confidence of the Legislative Assembly. The Premier is also by convention expected to be a member of the Legislative Assembly themselves, but this is not a condition for holding office. A Premier who does not hold a seat in the Legislative Assembly will typically try to win one in a by-election by having a member of their party resign.

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.
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.
