    Appreciate I can come across as being pedantic but she was Queen of the U.K. and the fourteen commonwealth countries that still recognise her as head of state.

      That doesn’t make her not the queen of England, though, so the other person isn’t wrong.

      The thing that makes her not the queen of England is being dead as shit.

          The full list of her titles is a short book.

          Even the “full honorifics” are usually a long and boring paragraph.

          People usually don’t use them because a) it’s annoying, b) it takes too long, and/or c) we don’t particularly want to honour her and the extremely long list of genocides that those titles are formed from.
