Minions
She is first mentioned in the movie by Scarlet Overkill. As the Queen, she is the owner of the crown and loves her dogs, corgis, her favorite breed. Scarlet is interested in stealing her crown.

During the crown heist, the Queen takes a tour in the Gold State Coach, which is later commandeered by Kevin and Stuart. While Stuart attempts to steal the crown, she manages to successfully defend herself. The carriage ends up crashing, and she demands their arrest. Her position as Queen is usurped after Bob manages to pull the legendary Excalibur sword from the stone.

Later, she appears in a pub, after Kevin ran away from the villains' chase ordered by Scarlet. She mocks him and the others for their unintended coup, but becomes worried for Stuart and Bob when she witnesses them being held hostage by Scarlet on television.

At the end, she is restored to the throne and rewards the trio for their efforts in an elaborate public ceremony in front of the Buckingham Palace. You can also see the Athletes and Royal Corgis, the Butler Queen's, Royal Counsellor the huge tribe of Minions and Guards and the Guardian from the Tower of London. She presents a miniature crown for Bob's stuffed bear, Tim; an electric guitar (later replaced by a snow globe) for Stuart, and a knighthood for Kevin.

Her crown is stolen again by Scarlet, and then almost immediately after by a young Gru, as she freaks out. It is unknown if she ever got it back or received a new one.

She appears in the post-credits scene, Queen Elizabeth II with two men holding a mug of beer and dancing with the Guards from the Tower of London after the Athletes and their beloved Corgis.

It is not known whether it will appear in the second part Minions:The Rise of Gru.
