Elizabeth II

Elizabeth II was made the sovereign Queen of the United Kingdom in 1952. She succeeded her father George VI.

By one account, she was secretly a lizard alien. (COMIC: Where's the Doctor?)

20th century
Elizabeth acceded to the throne following the death of her father, George VI, on 6 February 1952. (PROSE: A History of Humankind)

When Queen Elizabeth was crowned in 2 June, 1953, (COMIC: Where's the Doctor?) it gathered a huge crowd, and families across Great Britain watched the event on their new televisions. The Wire attempted to take the energy from the millions of humans watching the coronation. However, the Tenth Doctor foiled the Wire's plans. (TV: The Idiot's Lantern) Eva De Ville was sent to assassinate the Thirteenth Doctor, so she travelled to the coronation where she met all the numbered incarnations of the Doctor all there at the same time, such as the First Doctor with Susan Foreman, the Second Doctor with Jamie McCrimmon, the Third Doctor with Jo Grant, the Fourth Doctor with Sarah Jane Smith, the Fifth Doctor with Tegan Jovanka, the Sixth Doctor with Peri Brown, the Seventh Doctor with Ace, the Eighth Doctor, the Ninth Doctor with Rose Tyler, another Tenth Doctor with Donna Noble, the Eleventh Doctor with Amy Pond, the Twelfth Doctor with Bill Potts and the Thirteenth Doctor with Graham O'Brien, Ryan Sinclair and Yasmin Khan. Each of the Doctors were combatting an alien threat, so Eva sorted them all out so that she could get the bounty. Eva then attempted to teleport the Thirteenth Doctor to the future but instead took the giant lizard version of Elizabeth II, which the Doctor followed.

After Eva De Ville teleported Elizabeth to her personal future, the CEO was displeased with her inability to kill the Thirteenth Doctor. However, they followed in the TARDIS, accidentally squashing the CEO. Colby revealed he was the Chairman and the mastermind behind the hit on the Doctor, but before he could kill her, Elizabeth swallowed him. The Thirteenth Doctor revealed the lizard was indeed Elizabeth II, or as she called her, Liz. (COMIC: Where's the Doctor?)

While his granddaughter Susan Campbell and great-grandson Alex Campbell were celebrating Christmas in the TARDIS with him and Lucie Miller, the Eighth Doctor wanted to watch the Queen's 1953 Christmas speech using the Time-Space Visualiser as 1953 was a "great year." (AUDIO: Relative Dimensions)

(TV: Mawdryn Undead) During the event, she was targeted in a plot by the Zork-Morkavi-Rokosh to displace her from time, which would have involved bringing her older self back from 2022 to create a temperal paradox. The plan was inadvertedly foiled by a time travelling Lucy Wilson, with the help of UNIT. (PROSE: The Platinum Sceptre)

The Queen was not in residence in Windsor Castle when the Luron mothership, which was more than a mile across, hovered above it in 1979. (AUDIO: The Valley of Death)

21st century
In 2001, Dr. Who, a fictional duplicate of the Doctor, tried several times to assassinate her, convinced she was the leader of an oppressive regime. During an appearance in Sheffield he succeeded, but the self-doubts of his accomplice Jason, coupled with his own essentially fictional nature, meant that the Queen survived. (PROSE: Head Games)

On Christmas Day of 2006, the blood control powers of the Sycorax (operating out of a ship hovering over London) threatened to make Elizabeth II, as well as the rest of the British Royal Family jump off a roof and kill herself.

As she spoke, a framed photograph of the Queen was placed on her desk. (TV: The Christmas Invasion)

In 2007, she celebrated what would evidentally have been her 55th Jubilee. (AUDIO: Wednesdays For Beginners)

Due to the Sycorax and "Christmas Star" incidents occurring on consecutive Christmases in London, most of the city's residents fled during Christmas 2008. The Queen, however, staunchly decided to remain in Buckingham Palace. On Christmas Day, the alien replica of the Titanic almost crashed into Buckingham Palace; the Tenth Doctor contacted the Palace and uttered a pre-arranged code number that resulted in the immediate evacuation of the Queen and her staff. However, at the last moment he was able to pull the ship up above the palace. The Queen thanked the Doctor by name and wished him a happy Christmas. (TV: Voyage of the Damned)

In Easter 2009, the Tenth Doctor left his TARDIS in Buckingham Palace gardens, telling Captain Erisa Magambo that the Queen did not mind. (TV: Planet of the Dead)

(PROSE: The Last Pharaoh)

In 2020, Elizabeth was kidnapped by Sorb and Sarg and stored on their ship. Lucy Wilson and Hobo Kostinen later freed her along with the rest of the human race. (PROSE: The Edge of Glory)

Elizabeth celebrated her platinum Jubilee on 2 June, 2022. Lucy Wilson was in London with Conall and Dean Lethbridge-Stewart for the celebration, which occurred just a few days after Lucy foiled the Zork-Morkavi-Rokosh's plot to displace the Queen from time. During the procession, Lucy was certain that Elizabeth had winked at her from her car, leading her to wonder if she remembered her from all those years ago. (PROSE: The Platinum Sceptre)

Elizabeth II on Doctor Who
Archival footage of the Queen's coronation appeared in The Idiot's Lantern.

Olivia Colman played Elizabeth II in the Netflix original television series.

The Writer's Tale
According to The Writer's Tale, Russell T Davies originally planned to end Voyage of the Damned with the Titanic actually destroying part of Buckingham Palace (though the Queen escapes). Rather than cheering the Doctor from the ground, Elizabeth (in keeping with her predecessors Victoria and Elizabeth I) would have been heard cursing the Doctor. This ending was scrapped as being too negative and special effects-intensive.

Torchwood website
On the series 1 version of the Torchwood website, a case file outlined the fall of Torchwood One around 2007. It suggested after a massive loss in life and technology, that it was recommended to Her Majesty for "the immediate closure of Torchwood One, together with the formation of a steering committee to fully examine future options."

The Doctor: His Lives and Times
According to The Doctor: His Lives and Times, Elizabeth II rescinded Queen Victoria's exile of the Doctor and Rose Tyler after she received a letter from Jack Harkness on 29 December 2008, detailing the Tenth Doctor's actions in saving Earth from the Titanic. She also commended Torchwood Three for its services.

Other matters

 * The events of The Christmas Invasion seem to imply that Elizabeth's blood type, in the DWU, is A-positive. In the real world, she is supposedly type O.
