Queen Susan of the Albanians, who has died in Tirana aged 63, was the level-headed Australian wife of King Leka I, claimant to the Albanian throne.
Leka's mother, Queen Geraldine, realised that the couple's friendship was turning into love, and proceeded to groom the Australian girl as her royal successor.
The Australian authorities declined to recognise her as a queen, and eventually, after a friend had a word with the Foreign Minister Andrew Peacock, the document described her as "Susan Cullen-Ward, known as Queen Susan".

Her mother was The Duchess of York (née Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, later Queen Elizabeth, and, after her daughter's accession to the throne, the Queen Mother), the daughter of Claude George Bowes-Lyon, 14th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne and his wife, Nina Cecilia Cavendish-Bentinck, the Countess of Strathmore and Kinghorne.

The Queen, or her Governors-General, in the Realms outside the United Kingdom, also gives a speech at the annual State Opening of Parliament, outlining the government's legislative agenda for the year, but the speech is written by government ministers and reflects the view of the elected government.

 The Smiths: The Queen Is Dead ---Ink Blot Magazine
Second LP Meat Is Murder solidified their fanbase but The Smiths were rightfully considered a singles band until 1986 tour de force The Queen Is Dead.
For openers "The Queen Is Dead" tears brazenly out of the gate, the band indulging in a rare bit of noisy rock (with the bass turned down, mind you) and Mozzer plotting to kill the Queen and get Charles cross-dressing on the tabloids' front pages.
The Queen Is Dead isn't the most essential Smiths purchase (rival single comps Hatful of Hollow and Louder Than Bombs can both make that claim), but it is the high water mark of The Smiths' confidence in their own sound, the place where they felt most comfortable taking risks and succeeded most often.

The Queen Is Dead will help bury the one-dimensional misery-guts attitude so beloved of the group's denigrators, while further displaying to all and sundry the simple fact that this is essentially music brimming with valorous intent.

 The Smiths : The Queen Is Dead - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Meat Is Murder may have been a holding pattern, but The Queen Is Dead is the Smiths' great leap forward, taking the band to new musical and lyrical heights.
Opening with the storming title track, The Queen Is Dead is a harder-rocking record than anything the Smiths had attempted before, but that's only on a relative scale -- although the backbeat is more pronounced, the group certainly doesn't rock in a conventional sense.
Shattering the myth that he is a self-pitying sap, Morrissey delivers a devastating set of clever, witty satires of British social mores, intellectualism, class, and even himself.

 The Morning News - The Queen is Dead by Lance Arthur
It is your annual mid-Summer escape from the boredom of your post-teenage existence to the cool, northern beaches of California.
You are driving along I-5, a vast stretch of nothingness that links the entire west coast of the United States from Washington to Tijuana, which you visited once upon a time and returned from with a marionette and a tiger-eye ring that turned your finger green.
The problem is that you are too alike, both trying hard to be funny, both filled with anger and resentment, both raised by single mothers, both with older brothers you both wish to emulate and distance from with equal desire.

 The Queen is Dead
She came from an uncertain background, her parents weren't wealthy, but then they weren't coal miners or whippet-breeders either and she had never felt truly comfortable with either middle class or working class people - she hated having to make the distinction even, but it seemed somehow unavoidable.
She was never sure where someone like her was supposed to fit in in the world and, since her parents had been dead these few years past, she had been rudderless, drifting from one dead-end to another, living her life day to day and thus managing to avoid thinking about the future.

The Post further notes that this girl with dark-lashed eyes of china blue who became Queen almost by accident, had Royal blood in her veins and was a woman who knew the meaning of duty and sacrifice and was in close touch with people from backgrounds very different from her own.

Arguably the Smiths' masterpiece, THE QUEEN IS DEAD found the band at the artistic apex of a career that knew few lows.
More than any of their other albums, THE QUEEN IS DEAD represents the elegance, craftsmanship and humor for which the Smiths are remembered.
Opening the album, the explosive title track is filled with vintage punk-era iconoclastic rage, wherein Morrissey tears at the very fabric of the British monarchy atop the howling feedback and swirling chords of Johnny Marr and the pounding fury of Rourke and Joyce (whose punk roots were never so apparent).
