Why the Queen's nickname is 'Gary' - and she has Prince William to thank for it

The Queen is a woman of many names, titles and styles.

While she is just Queen Elizabeth II - or Her Majesty - to many of us in the UK, she is known as ‘Mother of all People’ by the Salish nation in Canada, ‘Paramount Chief’ to many in Fiji, and ‘The White Heron’ by the Maori people of New Zealand.

The Queen's full and official title is: Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of her other realms and territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.
