Legally the Queen dictates the law, and all law requires royal approval, this being the case the Queen, and only the Queen, cannot commit a crime in the UK. Secondly the Queen appoints all judges, and judges sit under the Queens coat of arms in court and are in fact acting on the Queen's behalf.

If she were to commit a serious crime against humanity she could be tried by an international court, like a war crimes tribunal, but the queen cannot be tried in the UK.

A lot of not so smart a rse answers so far.
The simple answer is that Her Majesty The Queen, IS the law.
All laws of the United Kingdom are made and enforced by the Queen's authority. Therefore, The Queen herself, BUT no other member of the Royal Family is above the law.
The rule in law is that The Queen can do no wrong.

The answers is there already but people keep adding stupid and wrong stuff to it.

1) the queen is just like the president in America, she can not be tried for any action done in the name of the monarchy and can not be sued for civil matters.

2) she is considered the supreme rule of the land

3) times have changed and the queen is stripped from many privileges, and as such can theoretically be tried in a court instituted by the people, such as the International court, even though this is not a power explicitely given to the court, but as it is a court ratified by the people not the queen she could be tried there.

4) England would sooner go communist then eject there aged queen.

The Sovereign is above the law. However, there was one occasion in history when the King was tried for treason, and that was the case of Charles I. His trial on charges of high treason and "other high crimes" began on 2 January, but Charles refused to enter a plea, claiming that no court had jurisdiction over a monarch. He believed that his own authority to rule had been given to him by God when he was crowned and anointed, and that the power wielded by those trying him was simply that which grew out of a barrel of gunpowder. The court, by contrast, proposed that no man is above the law. Over a period of a week, when Charles was asked to plead three times, he refused. It was then normal practice to take a refusal to plead as pro confesso: an admission of guilt, which meant that the prosecution could not call witnesses to its case. In fact, however, the trial did hear witnesses. Fifty-nine of the Commissioners signed Charles' death warrant, on 29 January 1649.

Whether or not this could ever be repeated as a concept remains debatable. However, the entire legal profession still wears black, as a sign of mourning for Charles I, which perhaps speaks for itself!

Unfortuanately the queen is above the law cos she has the ultimate last word on what is the law in this country. If she did something wrong she would just change the law to suit herself before anyone found out about it.

When a case is heard, it is posed as "Regina vs...". That is, the Queen against someone. So no, the Queen cannot be judged in a court of law - however, Parliament can take action against her if it should ever be necessary.

Why should HM The Queen ever break any laws in the UK? Why are you asking such a ridiculous question?. You mean , if she 'lost the plot' with Phil-the-Greek and bashed him over the head with her trusty crown!!. No-one would know.

The Queen of England is Sovereign, meaning she determines how subject she will be to the laws of her realm. She can agree to be prosecuted, or not.
