In 2007, who was the monarch of England?

In 2007, Queen Elizabeth II was the monarch associated with England.

Elizabeth II had been queen of the United Kingdom since 6 February 1952, so she was the reigning monarch throughout 2007. Her constitutional role covered the United Kingdom, including England, rather than England as a separate modern kingdom.

Strictly speaking, England has not had a separate monarch since the 1707 Acts of Union joined England and Scotland to create the Kingdom of Great Britain. Today, England is one of the United Kingdom's constituent countries. That is why “monarch of England” is common quiz wording but “monarch of the United Kingdom” is the more precise title.

Elizabeth II's reign lasted until her death in 2022. Her successor was her eldest son, Charles III. In 2007, Elizabeth marked 55 years on the throne, making her the second-longest-reigning British monarch at that time.
