10 Misconceptions About the British Monarchy-- Part 1

From the August 13, 2012 Listverse.

10.  The QUEEN OF ENGLAND is actually queen of 16 countries.  Actually, she is the Queen of the United Kingdom.

9.  PRINCESS DIANA was a member of the Royal Family but was never a princess.

8.  PRINCE PHILIP IS NOT THE KING--  That would be Queen Elizabeth's husband, not her son.  The man does not adopt his wife's title.

7.  THE QUEEN DOES NOT PAY TAX--  She does, but at a lesser rate.

6.  THE QUEEN HAS TWO BIRTHDAYS
