Nice answer Jordan. Yes, this had me thinking along those lines too. At first I thought it might represent Diana, but that seems too sinister and more of an Oliver Stone point of view . My feelings now are that the stag represents the stiff-upper-lip mentality for which the British used to be envied (in Queen Mum's words). That quiet British dignity which fell victim to the tabloids and the "look at me, look at me" attitudes of today. I thought it was significant that she first paid her respects to the stag before she conceded to the tabloids-influenced public, to "be seen" paying respects to Diana.

I think it represents her, not just the monarchy. The stag is regal and beautiful and yet people are trying to gun it down like fair game. When the queen tells it to run away, she's not only trying to save the monarchy but her own strength and hope as well. I thought the scene with the stag, as well the part where she read those nasty notes on Diana's flowers showed a lot of her vulnerability and that in the end she's just like one of us. Someone who cries and feels and angers and laughs. In the end, she shows she's also human.

It represents the monarchy.
She is afraid that the monarchy is in danger, not just her but the whole idea of having kings and queens and that if the monarchy is disbanded then all of the time she spent in service was wasted.
