The last Queen of England

Queen Elizabeth I was the last Queen (and Monarch) of England.
Since 1603 there has only been a monarch of the United Kingdom.

Many people find this very hard to believe.

A recent email we received said what about Queen Anne?

Queen Anne was Queen of England, Scotland and Ireland. England and Scotland formally united into a single state under the Act of Union 1707.

Our Queen today has the official title of:

“‘Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. “

We would welcome comments…
