Queen Elizabeth II's middle names may have meant traveler or ruler. When the reigning queen of England was crowned, she turned into a globe-trotter and an
instant international icon. She was preceded by King George VI, her father, who died when she was still a young heir. She enrolled in the military and married the Duke of Edinburgh. In reality, she may have been the Queen of 16 independent nations within the Commonwealth Realms, but she only exercises little executive power in her rule.
