- Bears a striking resemblance to Queen Elizabeth II, and since her first screen role in 1974, through to her final screen role in 2010, approximately 29 out of Jeannette Charles' 37 screen roles/appearances, on film and television, have been as either "Queen Elizabeth"/"Queen Elizabeth II", or simply "the Queen".
- Retired from acting in 2010.
- Before her acting career took off, she worked as a secretary.
- Before her career as a Queen Elizabeth impersonator took off, she had dreams of being an actress and actually passed an audition at the RADA - London's prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. She ultimately couldn't attend because the tuition was too expensive and her "looks counted against me - no matter what role I took on, I'd hear comments from the audience, and sometimes even laughter.".
- Also played Queen Elizabeth II in The Parent Trap (1998) with Lindsay Lohan, but her scene was cut from the film.
