    God Save the Queen

    I think I speak for many when I say I have an incredible amount of respect for her as a person, and I believe she has been a strong asset to our country at home and abroad for the past 60 years.

    I am gutted that I am outside the UK at the moment, Would love to join in with all the patriotic fun.

    Must say though I was a bit disappointed with the folks at Epsom who did not stand for the anthem, I hardly like the song itself but at least show some respect.

    We did revolution before it was fashionable. That's why King Charles 1st was beheaded and we ended up with Oliver Cromwell.

    George VI had two daughters and no sons, so the eldest daughter inherited the throne after he died.

    Coming from this Yank, much congrats to the Queen, and may there be more years to fill.

    Unless there was a law specifically barring a female from taking the throne (which in some cultures/nations is the case), it is completely by direct blood lineage who gets to take the mantle of monarch. Being the the direct descendant matters more than whether you have a X or Y chromosome.
    In the case of the husband, he is not labeled "King" but "Prince-Consort".
