Queen Elizabeth III is a fictional character, the reigning monarch of the Star Kingdom of Manticore in the Honor Harrington series of space opera books by David Weber. A member of the House of Winton (the first and only royal house of Manticore), she ascended to the throne in 3986 AD, seventeen years prior to On Basilisk Station. The Manticoran constitution gives her some actual executive power.
She is straightforward, unduplicitous and honourable. This sets her apart from most of her contemporaries. The treecats, including her personal companion Ariel, refer to her as "Soul of Steel".
Quirk: She keeps her grudges for so long that she has them stuffed and mounted. It is said that even elephants admit they can be forgetful compared to her when it comes to perceived insults.
