You could be imagining wrong. The Queen is not allowed to express any political views. I also believe that she no longer has any real power apart from one. She can (under certain circumstances) dissolve the government and force an emergency general election. I believe this is probably what Chris was referring to when he said she was a stop gap.
Having said that, I vaguely remember reading somewhere she is actually a Labour supporter in private. If the rumours are correct, she certainly did not like Margaret Thatcher.
