Just corrected the header slightly - she wasn't just Queen Mum for England you know, in the same way as her daughter is Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, not just England.

On another note, isn't she 'merely' the head of the Commonwealth, as our own West Brits tell us here, Jon? ;)
Jon HallShe's Head of the Commonwealth...only Head of STATE of the UK and of the Dominions(Commonwealth countries with a Governor-General representing the Queen)...the UK and Dominions all qualify as "Realms",and the Dominions generally prefer to be called Realms since the UK is no different from them in being under that category.
Yup, technically 'Head of State' of the nations of the Commonwealth. Jon.
