What is the current queen of Englands first name?
You are right. Both mother and daughter were named Elizabeth. The Queen Mother was the wife of King George VI and during his reign, she was known as Queen Elizabeth. After the King died, she assumed the title of The Queen Mother, and became known as Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, and was no longer referred to as “The Queen”. Their daughter, Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, became the current Queen of England when the King died in 1952, and she is known as Queen Elizabeth II. Yes, I can see how you could find it a bit confusing with two Queen Elizabeths of the same country, alive at the same time. And then there is Queen Elizabeth I who lived from 1533 – 1603, and that can be confusing for some people.
