Queen Elizabeth II is separately and equally monarch of 16 sovereign countriessometimes known collectively as the Commonwealth realms. In each of these countries, with the exception of theUnited Kingdom (where she predominately resides) she is represented by a governor-general (unhyphenated inCanada as governor general ) at national level. In some of these countries, opinion differs as to whether the Queenor governor-general should be designated as head of state; there is no questioning of the Queen's position assovereign, above the governors-general, however.
