    If the Queen Mother were still alive, would she be in the line of succession to the British throne?

    Question #97913. Asked by edmund80. (Jul 24 08 9:34 PM)

    		No, she is simply the mother of a king or queen.

    Queen mother is a title or position reserved for a widowed queen consort (a queen dowager) whose son or daughter from that marriage is the reigning monarch. The term has been used in England since at least 1577. The title arises in nations governed by a royal (inherited) monarchy, commonly in Europe, but also mentioned even in the Bible, as in 1 Kings 15:13.

    A queen as bride of the king has a royal position of great importance, but does not normally have any rights to succeed him to rule as monarch after the king's death.
