At any rate there can only be one Queen at a time right? As in the Queen of England and by that aswell the provinces, wich I think is what New Zealand is to England. Buggerd if I know though, don't see how a country can be it's own when the ruler resides in another.

Anyway as there can be only one queen at a time that would rule out the purpose of plural so it would just be "Queen's" rather than "Queens'," not sure if that makes any sense.

the point of the first post is the image/jpg... not the words.. the words are there, cos I had to put something there.

There can only be one queen at a time, but the title of Queen is passed, not named.

Can't believe we're quickly onto the second page, and it's all about where I put the apostrophy in the sentence I started with!!!
Well I thought the jpg was funny..

Yes. It does "belong" to the Queen. Therefore the apostrophe does come before the s.

There is no argument. The apostrophe goes before the s.

Double Gahhhh!!!! Apostrophe, please. If you can't use it properly, at least spell the fucking thing right.

And, to cap things off, I can't see the JPG in question...
