Thanks. Could not find the specific information. I believe the 'title' is  
"Queen (or King)" of "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" 
 
(and Commonwealth, etc.).
 
My point was that it is inaccurate to say she's the Queen of England,  
unless, informally it is meant that she _reigns_ over England, which is  true.
 
Similarly, when Camilla Parker-Bowles becomes the Duchess of Cornwall, she  
will 'duchesise' (is that the verb?) over Penzance, but she won't be the 
Duchess  _of_ Penzance.
 
Cheers,
 
JL
