This handbag-touting, modern, moral, monarch has had her fair share of family problems.

Watching her family growing up and divorcing, through the eyes of the British Tabloid Press could not have been easy, but HM was "brung up proper" and has gracefully gone about doing the job she was trained for.

She has thrown open one of her more modest family homes to tourists in an effort pay for rebuilding expenses after a bit of fire damage.

The Queen is also leader of a worldwide breakaway Catholic sect, known variously as The Church of England, The Episcopalian Church, The Anglicans, and in some countries as The Church of the Province of Whatever.

The Queen won her first ever election on November 6, 1999, when Australia voted to keep her on as its Head of State.
