How many Queens have been crowned in England since 1831?

[scorpiojo]

None

[Peter Pedant]

my guess is two queens regnant
and all the kings had queens-consort crowned along with them as a job lot
which is another three

[scorpiojo]

None...they didn't become Queen until they were crowned.

[weecalf]

As its only 21.52now I suspect none ,that I've heard of anyway

[scorpiojo]

Lol weecalf

[Peter Pedant]

So Edward VIII wasnt a king because he was never crowned ....?
I dont think so.

[Peter Pedant]

He was too busy doing something to a Simpson....

I disagree ScorpioJo.

Her Madge became Queen when her father died, not at her coronation.

[scorpiojo]

Good point, Hopkirk :)

I think scorpiojo has the correct answer, as it is under lateral thinking, although it's actually not correct as Hopkirk has pointed out.
