'Her parents were King George V1 and Queen Elizabeth, who died in March 2002'.
The more I read this sentence, the more confused I become. It looks to me as though the writer means that both parents, George and Elizabeth, died on the same date. Shouldn't the comma be after King George ? Please advise.
Thanks,
