<< Wrong monarch.  She married into the royal family, to the man who became

 to as 'The Queen Mother' is actually still 'Queen', but is not and never has
 been 'Monarch'.  It gives rise to an interesting situation when The Queen
 Mother phones Buckingham Palace switchboard and asks to speak to her
 daughter.  The operater rings The Queen and announces "Your Majesty, Her
 Majesty, Your Majesty". >>

Thanks Paul.  I figured it out after I made the first post and then did some 
reading.  Elizabeth (the witch) let me know before you did!

It's still her birthday!
