Quite a lot has changed since this video came out. Some changes that have happened as of December 2022: 1. Queen Elizabeth II is no longer the reigning monarch. Her heir, Prince Charles, succeeded her following her death and became King Charles III in September 2022. 2. Barbados became a republic in November 2021 and no longer has a monarch. 3. The United Kingdom is no longer a member of the European Union (cf. 1:57) following Brexit. 4. The status of the British Indian Ocean Territory as one of the British Overseas Territories is currently in limbo after the International Court of Justice ruled in February 2019 that the UK unlawfully separated the Chagos Archipelago from the rest of Mauritius. This ruling was affirmed by the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea in January 2021.

As an American viewer watching this again, I found it quite a useful explanation of the difference between "England", "Great Britain", and the sovereign state known as the United Kingdom! These differences are the reason why I have sometimes heard it said that Elizabeth II was _not_ a "Queen of England" (to use the common, informal phrase), but a "Queen of the United Kingdom": because the United Kingdom isn't England! Thanks for the video!

The Queen (and now King) can be both King of the UK and King of England, though. Similar for Australia. I understand Charles becomes King of Australia when he steps onto our soil. That doesn't stop him from being King of the UK and other dominions at the same time. (When he leaves our soil, he reverts to being our constitutional head of state). Mad, eh. That's why we love it.

I’m Scottish and have lived and worked in the US for three years. Everyone here thinks my accent is Irish. I don’t mind a bit, but it gets embarrassing when people start going on about their Irish roots and where their Irish ancestors came from. Americans tend to talk fast and loud, so it can take a little time to get it into the conversation I’m not Irish. On one occasion I didn’t want to embarrass a lovely elderly lady among her friends, so I became Irish for one evening.
