It should be noted that in many modern monarchies "The Queen" is used to refer to the respective reigning female monarch or consort. In many English-speaking countries and the [[Commonwealth]], The Queen usually refers to [[Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom]]. In [[Germany]] the word "Queen" was adopted into the German language, as opposed to the German word "Königin" as a synonym for [[Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom|Elizabeth II]].
The Queen could mean:
* [[Queen regnant]], a female monarch, equivalent to the male title king; she is referred to informally in the third person as "The Queen"
* [[Queen consort]], the wife of a reigning king
* [[Queen dowager]], a former queen consort whose husband has died or abdicated
* [[Queen mother]], either a queen dowager, or a queen regnant who has abdicated, whose son or daughter has become the monarch
* [[Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom]]
* [[Margrethe II of Denmark]]
