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.]

Queen Elizabeth II remains the head of state for Britain and many of its colonies.  Head of government is another story, however, and the monarch's command of such has been in decline since the Magna Carta of 1215. James II, deposed in the Glorious Revolution of 1688 by Parliament, may have been the last monarch to believe he was head of government, and to have been catastrophically incorrect.

Yes, it is considered a constituent country in Union with England, Wales and Northern Ireland(the United Kingdom).\n\nAn interesting note is that it was the SCOTTISH monarch (James VI) who ascended the English throne and United the two kingdoms of England & Scotland.\n\nFurther showing that Scotland is a country: It has it's own national anthem. It has it's own parliament which governs their own affairs. It has its own court system. It has its own currency (the Scottish pound is on par with the British Pound). And it competes in many sporting events separately (world cup soccer, Rugby, etc.)

When the monarch dies or abdicates, the crown passes to the next in line.\nIf the outgoing monarch has one, the first in line is the eldest son (so Prince Charles is currently first in line), or the eldest son of the eldest son (Prince William is second in line).\nWhen the previous King died in 1952, he had no sons. First in line was his eldest daughter, Princess Elizabeth, so she became Queen Elizabeth II.\n\nBecause sons have priority over daughters, there have been more Kings as monarch than Queens.\nHowever, the wife of a King is also called a Queen, whereas the husband of a Queen is not called a King, but a Prince-Consort.\nHence Elizabeth II is Queen, and Phillip is Prince-Consort.

The Queen is a figurehead.  She exercises no control.  Her representative in Canada is the Governor General, who is appointed by the Prime Minister, who leads the party who won the majority seats in the House of Commons.\n\nWe pick the PM, he picks the Governor General.  We control our country.  We are thus sovereign.  The Queen represents our roots and gives our laws their legality.

None of the answers so far have been right.  England is a nation, like scotland, wales, and north ireland.  Each of these belongs to the state of the United Kingdom.  Great Britain refers not to the state itself, but the large island which includes england, scotland, and wales, but not north ireland, which is on the irish island.  The commonwealth is a group of countries which the british monarchy used to control in colonial times, including australia, new zealand, india, canada, etc.

The official residence of Queen Elizabeth II and her consort, Prince Philip, is Buckingham Palace in London, U.K.  In addition to Buckingham, the British Monarch also maintains official residence at Windsor Castle in Windsor and Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh; Hillsborough Castle in County Down, Northern Ireland, is also an official residence though it is primarily used by the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.\n\nIn addition to the residences that are attached to the Monarchy, Elizabeth also owns Sandringham House in Norfolk and Balmoral Castle in Scotland.  Unlike the official residences, these are personal possessions and ownership is not a consequence of being Queen.

HM the late Queen Victoria was of the House of Hanover. Her son King Edward used the name Saxe-Coburg-Gotha because that was the House of his father. Technically the current Sovereign, HM Queen Elizabeth II is of the same house, but King George V changed the name to Windsor during World War I because he felt Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to be too German.
