Her Majesty, the Queen

Dear students,

   when people think of the UK, the also think of the Queen, as she resembles the country like no other person. She is not only Head of State, but - as a constitutional monarch - Her Majesty, but also fulfils important ceremonial and formal roles within the UK.

As we have dealt with her speech in Westminster Hall, I would like to give you some more links where you will find additional information:
