Considering how stuffy the British Royal establishment was in the 1920's and earlier, I think that any Jewish element in the ancestry of her mother (Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon) would have been dug out during the courtship, and her father strictly told to forget her and find another bride. And any Jewish element in her father's ancestry is even less likely.
But you can only go back so far, and if one or two of her sixty-four great- great- great- great- grandparents turn out to have been Jewish, well, so what. In the Bible, the whole Book of Ruth is to tell how Ruth was a Negress who married Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed, and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David, who became the King of Israel after Saul. Our minister used to explain this as a way of reminding the Jews that they shouldn't be getting hung up on people's ancestry, because God doesn't, and they should think about the kind of person they are instead, because that's all that matters.

No ancestor for at least the last couple hundred years - any member of royalty marrying a Jew would have been a major scandal (and, incidentally, removed them from the line of succession).

I don't know the answer to your question but I think its strange how non jews love to tell other people that Judaism is a religion not an ethnicity... its not entriely accurate genetically speaking.
whether you call them Hebrew, or Semite etc there is a nation of people with certain traits (for example sligtly darker pigmentation and slightly thicker curly hair) many of whom happen to practice the same religion...
Similarly if you wanted to know your own ethnicity a blood test could determine with some specificity the geographic regions of your ancestry.
I find it insulting to someone like myself who is not practicing but has half of their family coming from jewish lineage...I find it rude to be told that I cant identify myself partially (in tems of ethnicity) with my father or his grandparents because my mother is not Jewish...
Unless you are a Rabbi and I am trying to join your temple no one has the through which they can trace their roots

No she is mainly of German ancestry. The House of Hanover took over the British throne many centuries ago. Hanover is in Germany.

Jewish is a religion, not an ethnicity...

No, she's mostly German and Scottish and that's it.
