Why did the Catholic Church have a influence in the Queens life?

I assume you are referring to Queen Elizabeth II. She is a deeply religious woman and very much cosmopolitan and to use the term- Ecumenical. It is know She has had summits with at least Three Popes- over her long reign. This is to be commended. Both Episcopalian and Catholic churches retain their autonomy- but there does seem to be a rapprochement- beyond a mere detente . Credit this to Elizabeth II.
AnswerIn addition to the above, it should be clarified that the Queen is not an Episcopalian. The Episcopalian Church of the USA is a separate church within the Anglican Communion. However, it is in full communion with the rest of the Anglican Church.HM the Queen is actually a member of the Church of England - a separate Anglican Church from the Episcopalians, but her role, as Supreme Governor of the Church of England (a role that automatically is bestowed on the monarch) means that any meetings with popes makes these occasions all the more poignant.
As Supreme Governor, under Christ, of the Church of England, it does mean that ,constitutionally, she cannot ever convert to Catholicism, nor can her successors as monarchs do so, nor can they marry a Catholic. This is because the Catholic Church will insist that any children from that union (and hence a future monarch) would be brought up Catholic. This would place the monarch in an untenable position being a Catholic and also Supreme Governor of another denomination.
That said, I echo the first answer in that the queen (and it seems likely hat Prince Charles and Prince William will follow her lead) is very ecumenical in her outlook and belief - she regards herself rightly as a Christian first, and any denominational label simply that - a man-made label. And in that respect she often consults with Catholic leaders in Britain as well as the Anglican archbishops. And I believe that when Cardinal Basil Hume was alive, he was a frequent visitor to the palace and, along with her archbishops, and especially the Archbishop of Canterbury, provided the Queen with sound advice and guidance in spiritual matters.
