:Mies: On fine tuning the prose for communicating the information, the "less is more" axiom would support the simple statement we now have: Elizabeth II ... is the Queen of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, since 6 February 1952. Would that be improved by changing the word order to: Elizabeth II ... is,  since 6 February 1952,  the Queen of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Maybe. There seems no good reason to make further change to what we now have:From their dates of independence, she is the Queen of Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis. She is also Head of the Commonwealth.
