"Queenie" is a caricature of the historical figure Queen Elizabeth I of England, played by Miranda Richardson as the main antagonist in Blackadder II, the second series of the BBC historical sitcom Blackadder, which was set in Elizabethan England. Though only twice referred to as "Queenie" in the series (once by Lord Flashheart and once as self-reference in her poem for Blackadder's voyage), this name is commonly used by the general public.
