The reigning Queen of England, holding court at Buckingham Palace. When the Beefeater kidnaps the Duchess of Dorking in his mad scheme to depose the crown and install himself as King, it is the Queen who takes charge - “My word! Kidnapping? This will not do! We are not amused!” - and personally calls in the VALentine Complex to set matters right (#6). Imperious, unflappable, and every inch the sovereign.

This biography includes story developments and endings
In comic 6 the Queen is involved in the response to the Duchess of Dorking’s kidnapping. The Beefeater’s ambition extends beyond one captive to the seizure of power, and the royal side seeks VALCom’s help.
Her dignified authority contrasts with the pretender’s theatrical ambitions. Within this fictional adventure she represents the legitimate power he hopes to appropriate; her role is defined by the episode rather than by the biography of a real monarch.
