Quite the reign! Can't help but feel a bit sad really.

Indeed she reigned for about 30% of U.S. history.

(credit for observation goes to Matt Glassman)

And she was queen of Australia for over 57% of its history.

1788 mate.

>>grader+rl1
That was New South Wales. The Commonwealth of Australia was founded on Jan 1st 1901.

>>themat+4m1
Yes, the commonwealth. Federation was not the start of Australia. It was colonisation. We began 1788, mate. That's it.

You can't just erase all those years of history or say they weren't part of our history, because they're "unpalatable". Ugh. Did you forget your history that you learned in school? :)

The GP's statement was completely factual: the title of "Queen of Australia" only came into existence in 1901 when the states of what is now Australia federated. Before that, the Queen was head of state individually over six separate colonies.
