    In the plane? The last Queen of England died in 1714 so that’s quite the achievement.

      That’s a nice bit of pedantic information that I might just commit to my memory for no reason.

      For anyone confused: The kingdoms of England and Scotland were unified in 1707 (and then further with Ireland in 1800). The kings’ and queens’ titles since then have reflected this.

      OOP is saved by bad capitalization.

      Elizabeth II was a queen, and also was of England. Likely the only such queen (unless someone was born in England, then later became Queen of another kingdom). So, it would absolutely accurate to call her the queen of England.
