Queen Mother
Should this section be changed to from Queen mother widowhood? I tried to change it myself but was reverted Jord656 (talk) 06:39, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
'Queen mother' seems to cover the period in that sub-section. DrKay (talk) 16:04, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No because there would be no point in such a change. She was a
Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon to her daughter Elizabeth II. "Queen mother" refers to her position not her title. Keivan.fTalk 21:18, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply
