But now there is a king of USA.
?
recent supreme court rulings make a president immune to prosecution for "official acts", so all the treason trump did while in office is ok according to the supreme court.
Wtf
Indeed.
This has bugged me forever, because, surprisingly, Tighten is correct.
There is no Queen and no King of England, the title was abolished in 1707 with the Acts of Union, when England and Scotland were joined into the Kingdom of Great Britain.
Accordingly the correct title is: The King / Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
There hasn't been a Queen of England since 1 May 1707.
However there is a king of Scotland:
July 4th: There is no Queen of England.
Next May the 4th: Somehow Elizabeth returned.
Queen Anne was the last Queen of England before the union.
Yes but did she make a secret clone army?
We may never know
Isn't the king's wife the queen? Like, I know that the queen's husband wasn't the king, because that would have meant he ranked higher or something like that. But that wouldn't be an issue the other way around, because sexism. Wasn't it something like that?
Yes. 'Queen Regnant' and 'Queen Consort' can distinguish between the two.
if it helps clear the confusion: they're all illegitimate inbred cunts who need to be kicked out
That's a given.
Now that the queen is dead everything titan said is now completely true
It was true then, too. There hasn't been a monarch of England since 1707.
Isn't Elton the Queen now?
I'm voting yes
I remember the queen dying and the Easter bunny but I thought the tooth fairy was still alive?
There is a King of England, though
No
Tighten is correct.
There is no Queen and no King of England, the title was abolished in 1707 with the Acts of Union, when England and Scotland were joined into the Kingdom of Great Britain.

And his wife is also the Queen of England.
Wait, really? I thought she was called something else, since the Queen's husband was called the Prince concert.
Prince ~~concert~~ consort
FTFY
Camilla had the title of Queen consort, but the 'consort' was dropped the day she, and Charles, were coronated.
Her 'Queen' is nothing like Elisabeth's 'Queen'.
Ugh, there's always something I miss with voice to text. So why was she the queen consort (and then queen) instead of the princess consort, like Elizabeth's husband was the Prince consort (and stayed Prince consort)?
Because in that archaic system, Kings are greater than Queens, so if Phillip was King instead of Prince Consort, he would have outranked Elizabeth.
...and before the day is out a couple people are going to be missing fingers or hands!
Is that a threat?
Its a guarantee.
What did Tighten know that we didn't?
