Liz 2.0 of what?

She is not iz 2.0 of anything, except possibly the second Queen of England with that name since Saxon times. She is the first Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to have that name. She should have changed her name to Brenda when she ascended the throne (ctd p94)

Queen on a segway?

That would boost her popularity no end.... even the most hardened Norn Irish republican would struggle to hold a back a chuckle.

Gawd bless her!

This will cause problems.

I can see the internal arguments at Google now over whether it's worth compromising the clean home page to add the seal and "By Royal Appointment. Messrs Google, providers of Internet Advertising cruft and Search Facilities" to google.co.uk.

KBEs all round guys!

@MGJ

I believe, and I suppose I could check (but I'm assuming this has already been done), that 'Queen of England' is the main title. Anything else is 'also Queen of....'. So, not 'probably' but, IS the second queen of England, short of some previous monarch scrubbing the records of a short reigned queen called Liz.

> I suppose ... that 'Queen of England' is the main title

The Queen's title in the UK is "Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith".
