'''Elizabeth II''' was born on the 21 April 1926 and became the [[Queen]] of [[Great Britain]] in [[1952]] and served well into the 21st century.
'''Elizabeth II''' was the [[Queen of the United Kingdom|Queen]] of the [[United Kingdom]] from [[1952]] to the [[2020s]]. She became the sovereign [[queen]] on [[6 February]] 1952, following the death of her father, [[George VI]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|A History of Humankind (novel)}}) She was succeeded by her son, [[Charles III]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Black and White (audio story)}}, {{cs|A Death in the Family (audio story)}}, [[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Platinum Sceptre (short story)}})
 
Although most accounts indicated she was [[human]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Christmas Invasion (TV story)}}, etc.) one dissenting account suggested she was secretly a shapeshifting [[lizard]] of some kind. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Where's the Doctor? (comic story)}}) It was also suggested that Queen Elizabeth was part [[Lupine Wavelength Haemovariform]], due to being a descendant of [[Queen]] [[Victoria]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Tooth and Claw (TV story)}})
 
== Biography ==
=== 20th century ===
Elizabeth was [[born]] on [[21 April]] [[1926]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Time Traveller's Diary (novel)}}) She ascended to the throne following the death of her father, [[George VI]], on [[6 February]] [[1952]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|A History of Humankind (novel)}}) As [[Rani Chandra]] explained, in the same way [[Gavin (The Empty Planet)|Gavin]] was the son and the heir to [[Gavin's father|his father]], [[Charles III|Prince Charles]] was the son and the heir to the Queen. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Empty Planet (TV story)}})
 
When Queen Elizabeth was [[Coronation|crowned]] on [[2 June]] [[1953]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia (reference book)}}, [[COMIC]]: {{cs|Where's the Doctor? (comic story)}}) it gathered a huge crowd, and families across [[Great Britain]] watched the event on their new [[television]]s. [[The Wire]] attempted to take the energy from the millions of [[human]]s watching the coronation. However, the [[Tenth Doctor]] foiled the Wire's plans. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Idiot's Lantern (TV story)}})
 
At the same time, [[Eva De Ville]] was sent to assassinate the [[Thirteenth Doctor]], so she travelled to the coronation where she encountered many previous incarnations of the Doctor all there at the same time, including 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]] by himself, the [[Ninth Doctor]] with [[Rose Tyler]], a later Tenth Doctor with [[Donna Noble|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, so the Doctor followed them.
 
After [[Eva De Ville]] teleported Elizabeth to her personal future, [[the CEO]] was displeased with her inability to kill the [[Thirteenth Doctor]]. However, when the TARDIS arrived, it accidentally squashed 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]]: {{cs|Where's the Doctor? (comic story)}})
 
While his granddaughter [[Susan Foreman|Susan Campbell]] and great-grandson [[Alex Campbell]] were celebrating [[Christmas]] in [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] with him and [[Lucie Miller]], the [[Eighth Doctor]] wanted to watch the Queen's 1953 [[Queen's Christmas speech|Christmas speech]] using the [[Time-Space Visualiser]] as 1953 was a "great year." ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Relative Dimensions (audio story)}})
 
On [[5 April]] [[1973]], Her Majesty invited the [[Fourth Doctor]] to dine at [[Buckingham Palace]]. The Doctor reacted by running off in his TARDIS with [[Harry Sullivan]] and [[Sarah Jane Smith]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Robot (TV story)}})
 
In [[1977]], students at [[Brendon Public School]] (as well as the rest of Great Britain), where [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart]] taught [[mathematics]], celebrated the silver anniversary of Elizabeth II's Coronation. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Mawdryn Undead (TV story)}}) 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 inadvertently foiled by a time travelling [[Lucy Wilson]] with the help of [[UNIT]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Platinum Sceptre (short story)}})
 
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]]: {{cs|The Valley of Death (audio story)}})


==Profile==
In [[1988]], her path almost crossed that of the [[Seventh Doctor]] (who almost but not quite recognised her) at [[Windsor Castle]] as she walked her pet [[corgi]]s about the grounds. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Silver Nemesis (TV story)}})
===Biography===
====[[20th century]]====
The alien [[The Wire|Wire]] attempted to take the energy from the millions of [[Human]]s watching her [[1953]] Coronation on their [[television]]s. However, [[Tenth Doctor|the Doctor]] foiled the Wire's plans. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Idiot's Lantern]]'')


Students at [[Brendon Public School]] (as well as the rest of Great Britain), where [[the Brigadier]] taught, celebrated the silver anniversary of Elizabeth II's Coronation in [[1977]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[Mawdryn Undead]]'')
Queen Elizabeth was briefly deposed by the [[Ice Lord]] [[Xznaal]] in [[May]] [[1997]], but was later restored to the throne and her Re-Coronation was held on [[23 November]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Dying Days (novel)}})


In [[1988]], her path almost crossed that of [[Seventh Doctor|the Doctor]] (who almost but not quite recognized her) at [[Windsor Castle]] as she walked her pet [[corgi]]s about the grounds. ([[DW]]: ''[[Silver Nemesis]]'')
Elizabeth II was concurrently the Queen of [[Australia]], a situation with which not all Australians were satisfied. The [[Fourth Doctor|Fourth]] and [[Fifth Doctor]]'s companion [[Tegan Jovanka]], who described herself as "downright [[Communism|Bolshie]]", favoured her country's transition from a constitutional monarchy to a republic. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Children of Seth (audio story)}})


Elizabeth II was also apparently no longer on the throne at the time [[Seventh Doctor|the Doctor]] reunited with [[The Brigadier]] for an adventure "several years" into Ace's future, probably sometime in the [[1990s]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[Battlefield]]'') However, she was later restored to the throne.
In [[1999]], Elizabeth expressed her displeasure with [[UNIT]] being in charge of security at [[St James's Palace]] for the [[United Nations Security Council|Unified Nations Security Council]], wanting [[Birch (The Last Line of Defence)|Colonel Birch]] to remain in charge. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Last Line of Defence (audio story)}})


Queen Elizabeth was briefly deposed by the [[Ice Lord]] [[Xznaal]] in [[May]] [[1997]], but was later restored to the throne and her Re-Coronation was held on [[23rd November]]. ([[NA]]: ''[[The Dying Days]]'')
=== 21st century ===
In [[2001]], [[Dr. Who (Land of Fiction)|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 (Conundrum)|Jason]], coupled with his own essentially fictional nature, meant that the Queen survived. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Head Games (novel)}})


====[[21st century]]====
On [[25 December|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 [[suicide|kill herself]]. As a result, her Christmas speech was not broadcast, replaced by a message from [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|Prime Minister]] [[Harriet Jones]], who announced the royal family's status while appealing to [[the Doctor]] for help. As she spoke, a framed [[photograph]] of the Queen was placed on her desk. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Christmas Invasion (TV story)}})

In 2006, Harriet Jones was invited to form a government by the Queen.

([[DW]]: ''[[The Christmas Invasion]]'')
In [[2007]], she celebrated her 55th Jubilee. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Wednesdays For Beginners (audio story)}})


After the [[Battle of Canary Wharf]] ([[DW]]: ''[[Doomsday]]'') in [[2007]], the Queen ordered the immediate closure of [[Torchwood 1]] ([[WEB]]: ''[[Torchwood website|torchwood.org.uk]]''). The level of her involvement with and support of the [[Torchwood Institute]], established by Victoria, both before and after the Battle of Canary Wharf, is unclear.

Due to the Sycorax and "[[Christmas Star]]" incidents occurring on consecutive [[Christmas]]es in [[London]], most of the city's residents fled on a later Christmas.{{note|Although ''[[Voyage of the Damned (TV story)|Voyage of the Damned]]'' is supposedly set the [[Christmas]] after the [[2007]] setting of ''[[The Runaway Bride (TV story)|The Runaway Bride]]'', the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' series which aired immediately before and after ''Voyage'' give [[Aliens of London dating controversy|contradicting dates]] for when their present day is set.

[[AUDIO]]: ''[[Recruits (audio story)|Recruits]]'' dates it to [[March]] [[2008]]. A newspaper clipping in [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Secret Lives of Monsters (short story)|The Secret Lives of Monsters]]'' places ''[[Smith and Jones (TV story)|Smith and Jones]]'' on a [[Sunday]] [[4 June]], which in the real world did not fall on a Sunday in either 2007 or 2008. [[Donna Noble]]'s present day in [[Series 4 (Doctor Who 2005)|series 4]] is set in 2008 according to [[TV]]: ''[[The Fires of Pompeii (TV story)|The Fires of Pompeii]]'', [[TV]]: ''[[The Waters of Mars (TV story)|The Waters of Mars]]'', and [[AUDIO]]: ''[[SOS (audio story)|SOS]]'' (and is heavily implied by [[TV]]: ''[[The Star Beast (TV story)|The Star Beast]]'' and [[TV]]: ''[[The Giggle (TV story)|The Giggle]]''), or in approximately [[April]] to [[June]] [[2009]], according to [[PROSE]]: ''[[Beautiful Chaos (novel)|Beautiful Chaos]]''.}} The Queen, however, staunchly decided to remain in Buckingham Palace. On Christmas Day, [[Titanic (spaceship)|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]]: {{cs|Voyage of the Damned (TV story)}})

The Queen could be heard thanking the Doctor by name ([[DW]]: ''[[Voyage of the Damned]]'').
The Queen subsequently received a letter from [[Jack Harkness]] on [[29 December]], explaining the full nature of the Doctor's involvement in stopping the ''Titanic'' from crashing. She subsequently rescinded [[Queen Victoria]]'s [[exile]] of the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler. She also commended [[Torchwood Three]] for its services. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Doctor: His Lives and Times]]'')


In [[Easter]] [[2009]], [[Tenth Doctor|the Doctor]] left [[The Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] in [[Buckingham Palace]] gardens, telling Captain [[Erisa Magambo]] that the Queen did not mind. ([[DW]]: ''[[Planet of the Dead (TV story)|Planet of the Dead]]'')

*The regime of a [[Republic of Great Britain (Inferno)|fascist Britain]] had the royal family executed at some point before 1943. Presumably, this would have included Princess Elizabeth. ([[DW]]: ''[[Inferno]]'')
*Elizabeth II was not on the throne [[Pete's World|another parallel Earth]]; on that world, Great Britain was a republic governed by a president. ([[DW]]: ''[[Rise of the Cybermen]]'')
*In [[Donna's World|a nightmare alternate timeline]] created by [[the Trickster]], the starship ''[[Titanic (spaceship)|Titanic]]'' did hit Buckingham Palace and caused a [[nuclear explosion]]. The Queen is assumed dead. ([[DW]]: ''[[Turn Left]]'')

*Whilst listing some of the Doctor's past encounters with the Royal Family, [[Elizabeth X|Liz 10]] mentions "[[tea]] and scones with Liz Two." ([[DW]]: ''[[The Beast Below]]'')


==Behind the scenes==
In [[2010]], the Queen [[knight]]ed [[George Woods]] for his work on the development of [[radar]] in the [[1950s]] and [[1960s|60s]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Lost in Time (TV story)}})
===Elizabeth II and ''[[Doctor Who]]''===
Elizabeth II reportedly enjoyed viewing classic ''[[Doctor Who]]'' and, when she met members of the [[BBC Radiophonic Workshop]] commented on their connection with the series. The British press has reported that she now watches the new series.


===Elizabeth II on ''Doctor Who''===
According to one source, she left the throne before [[Christmas]] [[2010]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Mad Dogs and Englishmen (novel)}}) According to another source, Elizabeth II was still the Queen in [[2015]]. She visited the army barracks and was photographed in front of a red-top in a pastel blue [[skirt suit]]. The story of her visit was reported on the front page of a newspaper viewed by [[Helena (The Last Pharaoh)|Helena]] and [[Erimem]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Last Pharaoh (novel)}})
Archival footage of the Queen's coronation appeared in ''[[The Idiot's Lantern]]''.


Reportedly, [[Producer]] [[John Nathan Turner]] attempted to get the Queen to appear as herself in ''[[Silver Nemesis]]'', but was unsuccessful. An uncredited [[Mary Reynolds]] played Her Majesty instead.
In [[2020]], Elizabeth was kidnapped by [[Sorb]] and [[Sarg (The Edge of Glory)|Sarg]] and stored on their ship. [[Lucy Wilson]] and [[Hobo Kostinen]] later freed her along with the rest of the human race. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Edge of Glory (short story)}})


===Other information===
Elizabeth celebrated her platinum Jubilee on [[2 June]], [[2022]]. [[Lucy Wilson]] was in [[London]] with [[Conall Lethbridge-Stewart|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]]: {{cs|The Platinum Sceptre (short story)}})
According to ''[[Doctor Who: 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 ancestors Victoria and [[Elizabeth I]]) would have been heard cursing the Doctor. This ending was scrapped as being too negative and special effects-intensive.

Appearances
Elizabeth II

Elizabeth II was the Queen of the United Kingdom from 1952 to the 2020s. She became the sovereign queen on 6 February 1952, following the death of her father, George VI. (PROSE: A History of Humankind [+]Loading...["A History of Humankind (novel)"]) She was succeeded by her son, Charles III. (AUDIO: Black and White [+]Loading...["Black and White (audio story)"], A Death in the Family [+]Loading...["A Death in the Family (audio story)"], PROSE: The Platinum Sceptre [+]Loading...["The Platinum Sceptre (short story)"])

Although most accounts indicated she was human, (TV: The Christmas Invasion [+]Loading...["The Christmas Invasion (TV story)"], etc.) one dissenting account suggested she was secretly a shapeshifting lizard of some kind. (COMIC: Where's the Doctor? [+]Loading...["Where's the Doctor? (comic story)"]) It was also suggested that Queen Elizabeth was part Lupine Wavelength Haemovariform, due to being a descendant of Queen Victoria.

Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]

20th century[[edit] | [edit source]]

Elizabeth was born on 21 April 1926. (PROSE: Time Traveller's Diary [+]Loading...["Time Traveller's Diary (novel)"]) She ascended to the throne following the death of her father, George VI, on 6 February 1952. (PROSE: A History of Humankind [+]Loading...["A History of Humankind (novel)"]) As Rani Chandra explained, in the same way Gavin was the son and the heir to his father, Prince Charles was the son and the heir to the Queen. (TV: The Empty Planet [+]Loading...["The Empty Planet (TV story)"])

When Queen Elizabeth was crowned on 2 June 1953, (PROSE: Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia [+]Loading...["Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia (reference book)"], COMIC: Where's the Doctor? [+]Loading...["Where's the Doctor? (comic story)"]) 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 [+]Loading...["The Idiot's Lantern (TV story)"])

At the same time, Eva De Ville was sent to assassinate the Thirteenth Doctor, so she travelled to the coronation where she encountered many previous incarnations of the Doctor all there at the same time, including 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 by himself, the Ninth Doctor with Rose Tyler, a later Tenth Doctor with 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, so the Doctor followed them.

After Eva De Ville teleported Elizabeth to her personal future, the CEO was displeased with her inability to kill the Thirteenth Doctor. However, when the TARDIS arrived, it accidentally squashed 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? [+]Loading...["Where's the Doctor? (comic story)"])

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 [+]Loading...["Relative Dimensions (audio story)"])

On 5 April 1973, Her Majesty invited the Fourth Doctor to dine at Buckingham Palace. The Doctor reacted by running off in his TARDIS with Harry Sullivan and Sarah Jane Smith. (TV: Robot [+]Loading...["Robot (TV story)"])

In 1977, students at Brendon Public School (as well as the rest of Great Britain), where Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart taught mathematics, celebrated the silver anniversary of Elizabeth II's Coronation. (TV: Mawdryn Undead [+]Loading...["Mawdryn Undead (TV story)"]) 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 inadvertently foiled by a time travelling Lucy Wilson with the help of UNIT. (PROSE: The Platinum Sceptre [+]Loading...["The Platinum Sceptre (short story)"])

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 [+]Loading...["The Valley of Death (audio story)"])

Queen Elizabeth was briefly deposed by the Ice Lord Xznaal in May 1997, but was later restored to the throne and her Re-Coronation was held on 23 November. (PROSE: The Dying Days [+]Loading...["The Dying Days (novel)"])

Elizabeth II was concurrently the Queen of Australia, a situation with which not all Australians were satisfied. The Fourth and Fifth Doctor's companion Tegan Jovanka, who described herself as "downright Bolshie", favoured her country's transition from a constitutional monarchy to a republic. (AUDIO: The Children of Seth [+]Loading...["The Children of Seth (audio story)"])

In 1999, Elizabeth expressed her displeasure with UNIT being in charge of security at St James's Palace for the Unified Nations Security Council, wanting Colonel Birch to remain in charge. (AUDIO: The Last Line of Defence [+]Loading...["The Last Line of Defence (audio story)"])

21st century[[edit] | [edit source]]

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 [+]Loading...["Head Games (novel)"])

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 a result, her Christmas speech was not broadcast, replaced by a message from Prime Minister Harriet Jones, who announced the royal family's status while appealing to the Doctor for help. As she spoke, a framed photograph of the Queen was placed on her desk. (TV: The Christmas Invasion [+]Loading...["The Christmas Invasion (TV story)"])

Due to the Sycorax and "Christmas Star" incidents occurring on consecutive Christmases in London, most of the city's residents fled on a later Christmas.[nb 1] 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 [+]Loading...["Voyage of the Damned (TV story)"])

The Queen subsequently received a letter from Jack Harkness on 29 December, explaining the full nature of the Doctor's involvement in stopping the Titanic from crashing. She subsequently rescinded Queen Victoria's exile of the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler. She also commended Torchwood Three for its services. (PROSE: The Doctor: His Lives and Times)

In Easter in approximately the 2000s,[nb 2] 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 [+]Loading...["Planet of the Dead (TV story)"])

During her reign, she would make yearly televised speeches on Christmas. On one Christmas in approximately the 2000s,[nb 3] the Woman interrupted the Queen's Christmas speech for Wilfred Mott, warning him of what was to come. Her speech immediately continued, no one else having seen the Woman take over. (TV: The End of Time [+]Loading...["The End of Time (TV story)"])

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 [+]Loading...["The Edge of Glory (short story)"])

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.

Other realities[[edit] | [edit source]]

Alternate timelines[[edit] | [edit source]]

In an alternate timeline[which?] where the Common Men rose in place of the Beatles, the Fifth Doctor observed in shock as she danced the twist to the Common Men's "Oh, Won't You Please Love Me?"

Unclear[[edit] | [edit source]]

In a parallel world, the starship Titanic did hit Buckingham Palace and caused a nuclear explosion. (TV: Turn Left [+]Loading...["Turn Left (TV story)"])

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

Multiple Doctor Who stories tried to predict when Queen Elizabeth II would be succeeded by King Charles III. These included the 1990s, (TV: Battlefield [+]Loading...["Battlefield (TV story)"]), the 2000s, (AUDIO: The Longest Night [+]Loading...["The Longest Night (audio story)"]) 2010, (PROSE: Mad Dogs and Englishmen [+]Loading...["Mad Dogs and Englishmen (novel)"]) 2012, (PROSE: The Shadows of Avalon [+]Loading...["The Shadows of Avalon (novel)"]) and 2020. (AUDIO: Black and White [+]Loading...["Black and White (audio story)"])

In the real world, Charles III's succession occurred with Elizabeth's death on 8 September 2022, aged 96.[1]

Archival footage of the Queen's coronation appeared in The Idiot's Lantern.

Portrayals on screen[[edit] | [edit source]]

Jennifer Saunders voiced her in Minions.

Penelope Wilton played her in the 2016 film adaptation of The BFG.

Olivia Colman and Imelda Staunton both played her, at different stages of her life, in the Netflix original television series, The Crown.

The Writer's Tale[[edit] | [edit source]]

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[[edit] | [edit source]]

This section needs a cleanup.

This is a valid source.

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."[2]

As a Doctor Who fan[[edit] | [edit source]]

Elizabeth II reportedly enjoyed watching Doctor Who and was supplied pre-release DVD copies of the programme by the BBC.[3]

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  1. ↑ Although Voyage of the Damned is supposedly set the Christmas after the 2007 setting of The Runaway Bride, the Doctor Who series which aired immediately before and after Voyage give contradicting dates for when their present day is set. PROSE: The Paradox Moon places Martha Jones' present day in series 3 in June 2007. AUDIO: Recruits dates it to March 2008. A newspaper clipping in PROSE: The Secret Lives of Monsters places Smith and Jones on a Sunday 4 June, which in the real world did not fall on a Sunday in either 2007 or 2008. Donna Noble's present day in series 4 is set in 2008 according to TV: The Fires of Pompeii, TV: The Waters of Mars, and AUDIO: SOS (and is heavily implied by TV: The Star Beast and TV: The Giggle), or in approximately April to June 2009, according to PROSE: Beautiful Chaos.
  2. ↑ Both Planet of the Dead and The End of Time are referred to in dialogue as taking place after the end of Journey's End, which is set in either 2008, according to TV: The Fires of Pompeii, TV: The Waters of Mars, and AUDIO: SOS (and heavily implied by TV: The Star Beast and TV: The Giggle), or six weeks after the middle of May 2009, circa June, according to PROSE: Beautiful Chaos. However, the year of Planet of the Dead is unspecified, as is whether or not it is intended to be the Easter immediately after Journey's End.
