Although she didn’t ever appear on screen in “The Windsors,” the Queen was occasionally referenced in the show, albeit never as the butt of a joke. “Everyone just liked her so much and it just seemed a bit pointless to have a go at her when there’s so much else to have a go at about the royal family,” Tyler-Moore explains.
