Does england have a queen or a king?

England hasn't had its own king or queen for about 350 years. Queen Elizabeth the Second is Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland which includes England. England is now a Constitutional Monarchy, meaning that the ruling regent is more of a figure head rather than an actual political leader. The current regent of England is Queen Elizabeth the II.


How is that now a woman is queen of England instead of a king?

Elizabeth was the elder daughter of King George VI who had no sons. As there were no sons the laws of succession allow for a female to succeed.


Why does the title 'The Queen or King of England' no longer exist?

In 1603 Queen Elizabeth I of England died without issue and was succeeded by James VI of Scotand who became James I of England. He held the three titles King of England, King of Scotland and King of Ireland separately In 1707 the crowns of England and Scotland were united and the monarch (Queen Anne) became Queen of The United Kingdom of Great Britain. She held the title "Queen of Ireland" separately. In 1801 the crowns of Great Britain and Ireland were united and the then monarch (George III) became King of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. In 1922, under the reign of George V, the Southern part of Ireland was partitioned and became what is now The Republic of Ireland. The British monarch then became King of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.


Why do you use Roman numeral in some names and not others?

Roman numerals are only applied to titles to distinguish lineage. For example, the first Queen Elizabeth was known as Queen Elizabeth during her reign, but is now known as Queen Elizabeth I to distinguish her from the present day Queen Elizabeth II. When there is no ambiguity, there is no need to add a Roman numeral. For example, there has only ever been one Queen Mary and one King Bruce in Scotland, so there's no need to use a Roman numeral after their titles. However, there have been many a King Henry in England, thus each has a Roman numeral to distinguish the first from the eighth.


What does the king of England do?

The role of the King in the past was to be very militarily sound, and generally rule over the Kingdom, but it primarily just rules now to carry on tradition. In addition, all statutes/laws the government/House of Lords propose have to have approval from the Queen/King before being made.

What is the origin of the name of the borough 'Queens' in New York?

Queens was named for the Queen Consort of England, Catherine of Braganza. Brooklyn, derived from the Dutch spelling Breukelen (literally "broken land") was renamed Kings County by the English, and is now known by both names. Interestingly, I can find no references to King's or Queen's (possessive) counties. But these two Long Island boroughs of the City of New York were named after the King and Queen.
