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.

I never cease to be amazed by how few British people actually know the name of their country. Do you want to try another guess at naming the country of which England and Scotland are parts? 10 obscuro points to a non-Briton who can do so.
