I know that it should have been obvious, but I didn't get Elizabeth II... because she is NOT a former monarch. I don't think she should be on that quiz, and she should count for only one answer anyways.

I would have to argue that Queen Elizabeth is a former monarch, unlike other former European colonies of monarchies which are not included, the listed nations for Queen Elizabeth were at some point in the past both completely independent and also constitutionally had the British monarch as theirs, or in other terms a personal union.

But she is still the monarch of the UK and a few others, unlike the others on the list.

Also I am sure there is a way to make Queen Elizabeth only count as one answer but I am at the moment unable to find how :(

Yes, no problem. If it were featured, I'm sure that the Quizmaster would fix that.

Quiz updated, but without adding Queen Margrethe. Why?

The simple answer is, I didn’t know that Queen Margrethe had abdicated. I like to think I’m up to date on current events so I have no idea how I hadn’t heard.

Regardless, thanks for keeping me up to date.
