The Late Queen Mother
10 Answers
As It is Jubilee year, I'm trying to compile a royal round for a pub quiz I'm setting for Sunday.
I know that the late Queen Mother had the title 'Her Majesty' at the end of her life, but when did she assume this title? Was she 'Her Majesty' when she was Queen Consort or was she 'HRH' until she was widowed?
Can anybody point me to a reference for this, please?

Queen Mother
[edit]Widowhood
King George VI died peacefully in his sleep on 6 February 1952. Shortly afterward, Elizabeth began to be styled Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. This style was adopted because the normal style for the widow of a king, "Queen Elizabeth", would have been too similar to the style of her elder daughter, now Queen Elizabeth II.[82] Popularly, she became the "Queen Mother" or the "Queen Mum".[
