Well, I think I am pretty.  \n\nOh, wait!  You mean the queen of England.  LOL\n\nWell, I thing Queen Elizabeth II was pretty when she was younger.  She looked a lot like Prince Charles in the face.  Now she just looks like herself.  \n\nPrincess Margaret was very pretty, I thought.

Yes. They would find a lovely title for her and put her in with the addled Queen Mum. Charles would then ascend, unfortunately. I don't think he has the nads for it , frankly. Young William, yes.

I think I'd go with Queen Elizabeth.  There is just something about Pope Benedict that I don't like.

The Queen is the head of state in those countries, yes.\n\nbut it's not "occupation," it's a vague, voluntary (except Quebec) continuation of an embraced institution.

The "queen mum" is short for the Queen Mother, which really means the Queen's Mother Who Was Herself a Queen.  She's dead.\n\nQueen Elizabeth II seems not to have any authority, but technically she does, as I am sure that she doesn't have to sign anything that she doesn't want to.  But that would cause an uproar you wouldn't believe.  And the Prime Minister has to go see her every week or so and go over the stuff they want her to sign.\n\nSo it's a bit of a puzzle as to just what kind of authority she has.  In actual practice she has no political authority...it's all theoretical.

The most accurate place to look would be a current encyclopedia, like the Encyclopedia Britannica (it is written by experts, unlike Wikipedia which is written by common people who may not know what they are talking about).\n\nHere is what the Encyclopedia Britannica says:\n\n"British royal (b. Aug. 4, 1900, London, Eng.—d. March 30, 2002, Windsor, Berkshire, Eng.), in a life that spanned three centuries, was the daughter of a Scottish nobleman, the queen consort of King George VI, the mother of Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret, countess of Snowdon (q.v.), and an almost universally beloved symbol of British tradition and fortitude. Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon was the 9th child (of 10) of Claude George Bowes-Lyon, Lord Glamis and (from 1904) the 14th earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne. On April 26, 1923, after a two-year courtship, she married Prince Albert, duke of York, the second son of King George V. When her shy husband was officially proclaimed King George VI on Dec. 11, 1936, following the abdication of his brother Edward VIII, she was thrust unexpectedly into the public eye. She proved to be an able consort, and her personal charm helped to cement public support for the monarchy, which had been badly damaged by the abdication. The new queen's refusal to leave London during World War II and her extensive wartime activities further endeared her to the nation, as did her reported response in September 1940 when Buckingham Palace was damaged in the Blitz: “I'm glad we've been bombed. It makes me feel I can look the East End in the face.” In 1952 the king died, and their daughter Elizabeth ascended the throne. Thereafter, the widowed Queen Mother served as an unofficial ambassador, traveling extensively until advancing age curtailed her movements. She continued to make public appearances, however, owned a string of thoroughbred racehorses, and survived several surgeries. She celebrated her 100th birthday in 2000 and attended her daughter Margaret's funeral six weeks before her own peaceful death."

Because we have a monarch as our head of state

You are absolutely right. There's been intermittent protest about this issue. One answer is that the style (title) of the monarch is a matter of royal prerogative, which trumps the union and settlement questions. In Scotland, she's now, technically, Elizabeth, Queen of Scots, but the style changes depending upon where she is and whom she's appearing on behalf of.\n\n[The response that asks if you're stupid is completely uncalled for. The user obviously didn't read and understand the question. It's a sad state of affairs when people get on their high horses, only to embarrass themselves like that. You've asked a great question.]

Basically they fulfil the same duties of a head of state, with ceremonial and the role as head of the military and the Church of England being important elements in the UK. The Queen also has to give her assent (nowadays a mere formality) to formally bring a law into force. As you may have seen on the recent BBC programmes, she also acts as a sort of confidential 'sounding board' to political leaders.\n\nI agree, I would like to see a Monarch with more power, although our constitution doesn't alas allow this (politicians are increasingly more interested in what's best for them and their popularity than in the country!) . I seriously think we should have an Executive Monarch, like the US has an executive President... and who knows, useless heads might really roll then! :-)
