Q is for Queens

Only seven British queens have been queens by birth (instead of being married to a king). They are: Queen Mary I, the daughter of King Henry VIII; Queen Elizabeth I, the second daughter of King Henry VIII; Mary Queen of Scots; Queen Mary II, joint ruler with King William III; Queen Anne; Queen Victoria, the longest reigning monarch in British history; and the present Queen, Elizabeth II.
