Don't be silly. The word Kingdom is derived from Dominion, a placed ruled, and King, a ruler. Literally a place ruled by a King. The reason Wales has a Prince now is because it was absorbed into England as a province.
If such a huge constitutional change as Scotland terminating it's part in the Union occurred, I feel quite sure that Wales would be recognised a Kingdom and that the Queen would become the Queen of England and Wales.

You forget that there would probably be a campaign to name it JediLand.

The Americans already do call us England.
