Revision as of 11:02, 30 March 2002 by Matthew Woodcraft (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Isn't 'Queen Mother' the generic term for the mother of a queen?* If so, I do not think it would right to 'hog' this page for one specific person.
(my Pocket Oxford Dictionary says: "queen mother n. dowager who is mother of the sovereign.")--branko
'Queen mother' is the mother of a Queen, although the 'Queen Mother' (with caps) is a specific person, I think??
'Queen Mother' means the mother of a reigning queen, as opposed to the mother of a queen consort. So there may be another British one in the future, even ignoring other countries.
