It depends. The Queen speaks a "posh" variety of Received Pronunciation which is one of many British dialects. "British English" covers a multitude of regional accents, although RP is considered by many to be the "most correct".

The term "Queen's English" usually refers to a standard form of British English characterized by its adherence to grammar and vocabulary rules. However, "British English" encompasses all the varieties of English spoken in the UK, including regional dialects and accents. So, while "Queen's English" can be considered a subset of British English, they are not exactly the same thing.
