Edward VII's Danish born wife Alexandra

Thank you henneth!

Edward VII was not the king of England but of the United Kingdom so the answer should be one of Henry VIII's wives.

er what about ELizabeth II our present liege lady -\does she have a dropof English blood in her ?

George V's spouse Mary of Teck doesnt sound very English to me....

George Vi's wife - Elizabeth Bowed Lyon - born in Scotland wh every fule kno is not inEngland

[henneth]

Senga 2, Edward VII was King of England, amongst various other titles he held, just as Elizabeth II is Queen of England.
Peter Pedant, sober up before you post.

please please Henneth I was trying to help

I'm sober - I am just not very good at typing


Elizabeth ii is a wife by the way and also a queen, so my point stands if rather unsteadily

[henneth]

That's okay. I sometimes post here and there after a bottle of wine and am amazed at what I've written in a drunken state so your answer reminded me of that.
Anyway Elizabeth II was born in Bruton Street, in London which is in Britain, making her British born (and also her mother who was born in Scotland).

The question says "non british BORN" queen of ENGLAND.
so it must be Queen Anne of England n�e Anne of Cleves,who was born in D�sseldorf and was the was the fourth queen consort of Henry VIII of England.

And Edward VII was not a king of England ....his official title was King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, King of the Commonwealth Realms, and the Emperor of India.

Thanks Shaney, I wish people would recognise that England is not synonomous with Britain

Mary of Modena? She was the wife of James II of England and VII of Scotland, thrown out in 1688; I don't think the style 'British' was in use before 1707.

well come to that George 1 married Dorothea who he then locked up in a cell in Celle - for adultery i think

Imean she wasnt a brit !
