Why is Britain a queen and not a king?

The reason is that Elizabeth has been in power for so long that some people think that it is women who inherit the throne in Britain, not men. The succession to the British throne does not mean that men or women cannot inherit the throne. When Elizabeth retires, her son Prince Charles will take over as king of England.

British men and women can inherit the throne, the prince is called the king, Elizabeth II's father George VI is the king, and her daughter is the queen. In Britain, when the king succeeds to the throne, Parliament will immediately decide the king's successor. When the king dies, generally speaking, men have priority in inheritance. For example, the next king of Britain is Prince Charles, who is 69 years old, but if there are no men in the king's children, they should be chosen from women.

Empresses are called female emperors, such as Wu Zetian in ancient China and the empress of today's constitutional monarchy. In history, Danzhu's mother was also called the queen, and there were also famous brands of the queen in tarot cards, as well as music albums named after the queen. Since China entered the feudal society, she really reigned in the world, held real power and ruled the country, and was the only female emperor worthy of the name who held the ceremony of enthronement.

Extended data

As a constitutional monarchy, the British Parliament decides everything about the country. The king is not responsible for any affairs of the country. In fact, the king of England is only the image spokesman of the country, and sometimes even personal freedom is restricted.

There are indeed many queens in British history, including Elizabeth II, who is currently in power, but there are also many kings, such as Henry VIII of Tudor Dynasty, James I of Stuart Dynasty, George 1234 of house of hanover, and Edward VIII of Windsor Dynasty (the famous Duke of Windsor who does not love mountains and rivers but loves beauty).
