History[]
Cars 2[]
The Queen knights Mater.
In Cars 2, she appears at the third race of the World Grand Prix in London. She can been seen in the middle of Miles Axlerod and Prince Wheeliam lowering down a small white flag beginning the final race of the World Grand Prix. When everyone notices the bomb on Mater, they try to protect the Queen and move her away, but when Mater claims to know the mastermind of the Lemons, she listens to him, and fifteen seconds before the bomb explodes, everyone begins to brace themselves, before the bomb is deactivated by Miles Axlerod. At the end of the film, Mater is dubbed "Sir Tow Mater" by the Queen for exposing Axlerod.

- Bios
- "With the final stage of the World Grand Prix racing through the historic streets of London, England, the Queen is quietly elated she was invited to preside over the finish line by Sir Miles Axlerod. Painted in shades of the most royal blues and never without her jeweled crown, the Queen is the definition of decorum and regality, but that doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy a bit of first-rate competition!"[1]

Trivia[]
- The Queen is based on the deceased Queen Elizabeth II, as hinted by the "E" on her wheel trim.
- Her knighting of Mater and dubbing him "Sir Tow Mater" is inaccurate to the rules of Knighthood. Due to his American origin, he cannot receive knighthood, whereas only people residing in the United Kingdom can receive knighthood. However, he can receive honorary knighthood, but he cannot have the "Sir" part in his name, or use it on an every-day basis, as if he actually received knighthood.
- A female car resembling the Queen (except colored purple, wears gold glasses and a white lacy hat on her roof resembling a hatbox) can be seen trying to evade Dusty Crophopper when he is trying to speed off the runway after siphoning some of Chug's jet fuel in the "Meet Dusty" advertisement for Planes.
- The Queen actually has a turntable video showcasing her model for the film. However, just like Nigel Gearsley, Luigi, Guido, Sarge and Fillmore's turntable videos, she remains static and does not move during it.
- Originally. the Queen was intended to be the main target of The Lemons according to the Meet Finn deleted scene however it was dropped as the Lemons would target the World Grand Prix to make Allinol look bad instead.
- On September 8, 2022, the real Queen of England passed away, making it likely, however unconfirmed, that her Cars-counterpart has also passed.
- Cruelly ironically, it was the same day that Cars on the Road was released, Disney+ Day.
