Collection of Queen Elizabeth’s Hits! The late Queen was featured 18 times in pop culture

The monarchy of Queen Elizabeth II influenced everything from affectionate caricatures to sneering punk anthems. One does not serve as a head of state for almost three-quarters of a century without getting lampooned occasionally.

As well as playing herself alongside fellow British figures like Paddington Bear and James Bond, she excelled at portraying herself alongside other British figures. 18 times the monarch’s outsized influenced pop culture.

Her Majesty by the Beatles – 1969

Almost 23 seconds long, “Her Majesty,” is an unlisted track on Abbey Road about feeling too drunk to tell Queen Elizabeth II how you feel. Paul McCartney wrote the finger-picked ditty in her honour as a joke.

Almost like a love song to the Queen, it’s monarchist, with a mildly disrespectful tone, but it is tongue in cheek. In 1965, the group received the award at the Queen’s 39th birthday celebrations.

God save the Queen – Sex Pistols in 1977

When the Sex Pistols released their song “God Save the Queen” in May 1977, insulting Her Majesty got them blocked across an entire country. It is hard to imagine a time when insulting Her Majesty would result in such a ban.

During the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations, they released this scathing takedown, citing the British national anthem as its title, and performed it live on a boat during the summer celebrations, claiming that over the river Thames, there was “no future” for England.

The Smiths – The Queen was Dead in 1986

It took “God Save the Queen” one ghastly step further than “Morrissey has canceled a concert.” But the title track to the Smiths’ 1986 album was quoted more often than “Morrissey has canceled a concert.”

A walk on the quiet, dry coast while studying the Romantic poets is the only thing you can do to save the monarchy in Morrissey Land.

Naked Gun – 1988

It is Leslie Nielsen’s classic slapstick comedy Naked Gun, where Detective Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) must protect Queen Elizabeth II (Jeannette Charles) from an assassination plot during her visit to Los Angeles by controlling unsuspecting bystanders’ minds.

Although her majesty suffers the humiliation of being tackled by Drebin at the fancy state dinner, she also throws the first pitch at a baseball game between the Angels and Mariners.

The kids in the Hall (1988 – 1995)

There was only one notable exception to the lack of celebrity impressions on The Kids in the Hall. This Canadian sketch show was more aggressively topical than Saturday Night Live.

She would periodically appear on screen in impeccable drag as Queen Elizabeth II, speaking like a polished yet slightly dotty grandmother.

‘The Simpsons,’ ‘Family Guy,’ ‘Minions’ (1992 – 2015)

It doesn’t matter that the Queen herself didn’t pursue voiceover work because she made cameos in animations.

In a season 15 episode, “The Regina Monologues,” she plays a much bigger role than she did in the Simpsons’ first appearance when she nearly knights Krusty the Clown. Homer’s rear-end at Buckingham Palace gets him thrown into the Tower of London.

‘Austin Powers in Goldmember,’ ‘Johnny English’ (2002 – 2003)

The Queen knights the titular spy in Austin Powers for his role in defeating Dr Evil, but he never gets to enjoy the honour due to his father’s issues. In Johnny English, the villain’s attention is piqued by Queen Elizabeth II, not the crown jewels.

The Queen – 2006

As well as Spencer, Diana: The Musical, and Princess in Love, the relationship between the pair has been depicted in other projects such as The Princess, Diana: Her True Story, and Princess in Love.

All three films examined the same question: Did the Queen protect Diana enough? – CTJ While the films had varying success, they all asked the same question.

A Bond Girl at the London Olympics – 2012

It wasn’t a Bond movie, but the Queen was in a promotional sketch with Daniel Craig. In a short video from the 2012 Olympics’ opening ceremony, Elizabeth stepped out of a helicopter with Craig.

They seemed to base jump out over the crowd at London Stadium with Craig escorting her.

A Royal Night Out – 2015

You won’t want to miss a (semi) historically accurate remake of Disney’s 1992 classic, My Date with the President’s Daughter.

Featuring Sarah Gadon as Queen Elizabeth and Bel Powley as Margaret, this romp set in the 1940s will appeal to Anglophiles. Their father, King George VI, is played by silver fox Rupert Everett.

Present: ‘The Crown’ – 2016

Although the Royal Family has protested against the dramatized series, The Crown, starring Claire Foy and Olivia Colman as the ever-stoic, irrepressible monarch, has shed the most light on the Royal Family’s inner workings.

The Queen’s Corgi – 2019

An animated kids’ movie, The Queen’s Corgi, from nWave Pictures, follows Rex, the monarch’s most precious purebred, as he wanders from Buckingham Palace and is exiled. Fun, clean, cute? Nope.

Tea With Paddington Bear – 2022

In all of Briton, the monarchy is the quintessential national symbol. The celebration is complete when you add Paddington Bear, a lovable, adorable ursine.

Queen Elizabeth II filmed a cute video at Windsor Palace with Paddington Bear, voiced by Ben Whishaw, celebrating her Platinum Jubilee earlier this year, finally revealing what she toted in her iconic bag a marmalade sandwich, not to spoil anything.
