Do you mean Queen Elizabeth II? Because there are many Queens out there. But if you do mean Elizabeth of England, she recently celebrated her 80th birthday. And for 80, she's looking pretty good!

Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor) (born 21 April 1926) is the Queen of 16 independent sovereign states known as the Commonwealth Realms. These are the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, and Saint Kitts and Nevis. By the Statute of Westminster 1931, she holds these positions equally; no one nation takes precedence over any other, although all of her usual residences are inside the British Isles. She is the world's only monarch who is simultaneously Head of State of more than one independent nation, with realms in Europe, North and Central America, the Caribbean, and Oceania. In legal theory she is the most powerful head of state in the world, although in practice she exercises very little executive power personally (especially outside the United Kingdom).

She turned 80 in April this year.
She has her real birthday in April. Then in June she has her official birthday - that it is to mark when she was officially crowned Queen back in 1952.
