Who is or was the Queen mother?

Answer 1

In popular parlance, the Queen Mother was the title given to Queen Elizabeth, the consort to King George VI, after he died and their daughter Elizabeth II ascended to the throne.

More generally, the term can be applied to any former queen consort who is the mother of a current monarch. It is not always a formal title, though it was in the case of Elizabeth because, at the time of George VI's death, the more traditional title of Dowager Queen was still held by her mother-in-law Queen Mary, the widow of George V.

Answer 5

I was fortunate enough to be in London on the Queen Mum's 100th birthday. I was standing in front of Buckingham Palace and it was so exciting. There were signs all over London inviting the Queen Mum into the local pubs for a "free one" with the patrons. She is Queen Elizabeth's Mom and Prince Charles's grandmother and Prince William's GREAT GRANDMOTHER. She was a feisty old bird. (Something I learned while I was in England.) It was a thrill to be there listening to more than 150,000 people singing Happy Birthday---when the Royal Guard came riding up with Queen Mum in Carriage. *WOW*
