Talk:List of Titles and Honours of Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom

Template:Oldpeerreview Latin: Elizabeth II, Dei Gratia Britanniarum Regnorumque Suorum Ceterorum Regina, Consortionis Populorum Princeps, Fidei Defensor. ----should it not be: Fidei defenstrix? she is after all a woman? WilhelmRosendahl

I think it remains defensor as that was the actual title bestowed by the Pope - Chrism 21:03, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Her former titles should also be included:

• Queen of South Africa (1952-1961)
• Queen of Pakistan (1952-1956)
• Queen of Sri Lanka (1952-1972).
• Queen of Ghana (1957-1960)
• Queen of Nigeria (1960-1963)
• Queen of Tanzania (1961-1962)
• Queen of Sierra Leone (1961-1971)
• Queen of Trinidad and Tobago (1962-1976)
• Queen of Uganda (1962-1963)
• Queen of Kenya (1963-1964)
• Queen of Malawi (1964-1966)
• Queen of Malta (1964-1974)
• Queen of The Gambia (1965-1970)
• Queen of Guyana (1966-1970)
• Queen of Mauritius (1968-1992)
• Queen of Fiji (1970-1987)

Please look up what each of these are individually. --Jiang 04:13, 9 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Or we can just forget about this, noting Elizabeth_II_of_the_United_Kingdom#Former_titles. --Jiang

What about 'Princess of the United Kingdom', 'Dutchess of Edinburgh' and so on? --Jiang 09:22, 11 Jan 2004 (UTC)

if you look at the page for List of Titles and Honours of Charles, Prince of Wales you will see a list of his Titles, Duke of Cornwall &c. There is no such list for Elizabeth. She is head of state of the Channel islands by virtue of her title Duke of Normady, she is also the Duke of Man and the Duke of Lancaster and I think there are namy more. --Martin TB 09:32, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)

She is not Duke of Normandy even though her website claims so and she is toasted as such. The Dukedom of Normandy was governed under Salic Law. Any claim to the title was given up in the Treaty of Paris of 1259.

That's besides the point. Before she became Queen she was known as Princess Elizabeth and later Duchess of Edinburgh. This article should state that.--Jiang 19:36, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The spelling is definitely 'honorary' - I really don't see the point in maintaining an incorrect spelling in order not to offend someone. - Chrism 18:48, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Exactly! 'Honourary' is an incorrect spelling and isn't listed in any dictionary! - Campdavid 18:59, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Wrong in just this context or all contexts? Why do people use it then? Shouldnt the page be moved? --Jiang 22:01, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

'Honour' and 'honourable' are correct in British English but not 'honourary'. For some reason it loses the 'u' and becomes 'honorary'. Similar to 'glamour' and 'glamorous', I suppose. Don't think the page needs to be moved - it just needs to be amended to show the correct spelling (as I tried to do previously). --Campdavid 19:44, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Great Chief

Shouldn't this article also include Elizabeth II being the Great Chief of the Great Council of Chiefs (Fiji), according to Elizabeth II#Commonwealth titles? -- Itai 22:45, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Queen of Cook Is.

Does the monarch have an official title for her position as Queen of the Cook Islands, Niue etc..?

Honorific

"Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's current titles in each of her realms . . ."

I realize this may seem a bit silly in an article about somebody's titles and honors, but I don't think we should call her Her Majesty in referring to her. As I said elsewhere, "'Queen' is descriptive, in that it tells us what she does; 'Her Majesty' is honorific, and adds nothing to the article but a respectful tone that may or may not be warranted. If you say we should call Queen Elizabeth Her Royal Majesty, do you think we should call Kim Jong Il 'Beloved Leader,' or whatever he dictates that he should be called?"

I've removed the "Her Majesty" for now. If you disagree, discuss, and add it back if you want for the duration of the discussion. --Simetrical 02:25, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)

question... in addition to these national titles the Queen holds, does she have any other noble titles? I know one of her 'lesser' titles is Duchess of Edinbourgh' as her husband is the Duke. Also, I know she was Duchess of York until she granted the title to Prince Andrew at his wedding to Sarah, Duchess of York. What other domestic British titles does the Queen hold?
