Missing word "Queen"?

[edit]

The article says

The Queen's original title in New Zealand described her as 'Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Her Other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith'.

Um, isn't that missing the word 'Queen' after 'God'?

No. I'll bold it: "'Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Her Other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith"
This is how titles are traditionally are, however, as the Realms have changed titles, they have been 'modernised'. Canada and the UK still use this more traditional format Brian | (Talk) 01:59, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
