I was discussing this with a friend last night.

It seems odd that the WW is based on Muggle Britain in every BUT royalty. 
Presuming that JKR means the HPB is a person and not anyone we've met in the 
books so far (including the founders) Its possible that the HBP is supposed to be 
royal on their Muggle side not the wizard side.  

I think that the closest canon have for the WW acknowledging the Queen is 
Fudge stating that he notified his Muggle counterpart of Sirius' escape in POA.  
If the Muggle PM knows about the WW then there's a good possiblilty that the 
Queen knows as well.  (and wouldn't Sir Nick have been knighted the Sovereign 
back in his day??)
