How does one cite an author in the reference section if he/she is royalty?
 I have a student who is writing a paper about Queen Noor, from a
developmental standpoint.  My student is using her autobiography (called *Leap
of Faith)*, as a reference, and the author is listed in the book as "Queen
Noor."  Her real name is "Noor Al-Hussein" (or, of course, Lisa Najeeb
Halaby).  How to cite in the Reference section?

Noor, Q.
Noor, A.
Al-Hussein, N.
Halaby, L. N. (a.k.a. Noor, Q.)
???

None of these sounds correct, but Al-Hussein, N. seems the most valid.  Yet
she didn't cite herself that way in her book.  Very strange...

How, for example, would Queen Elizabeth be cited if she were ever to do an
unexpected thing like write a book?
