She even dons a pair of wellies and gets stuck into Peppa's favourite activity – jumping in muddy puddles.
The fun episode will be screened next month to get children interested in Jubilee activities.
Peppa Pig producer Phil Davies said: "As a British production, it's only fitting that Peppa Pig pays tribute to the Queen and we couldn't resist the opportunity to put her into the show.
"We hope that everyone enjoys watching the episode as much as we enjoyed making it and that it gets children into the Jubilee party spirit."
The Queen is the first human character to appear in the show.
In the episode, Peppa's pal Miss Rabbit is selected to receive an award for her hard work and takes her friends along to Buckingham Palace for her once-in-a-lifetime experience.

A book based on the episode, entitled Peppa Meets The Queen, is also being published by Ladybird.
Peppa Pig producer Phil Davies said: ‘As a British production, it's only fitting that Peppa Pig pays tribute to the Queen and we couldn't resist the opportunity to put her into the show.
‘We hope that everyone enjoys watching the episode as much as we enjoyed making it and that it gets children into the Jubilee party spirit.’
Buckingham Palace sources told the Mail that the Queen was ‘aware’ of the cartoon and had been sent an advance copy of the show in which she stars.
Remarkably the 86-year-old monarch is surprisingly clued up on children’s television as she frequently watches it when she goes to visit her grand-children, Lady Louise, eight, and four-year-old James, Viscount Severn, whose parents are Prince Edward and the Countess of Wessex.
It is understood that she frequently sits down with them to watch CBeebies favourite Justin Fletcher aka Mr Tumble – known to millions of parents up and down the country.
‘I have no doubt that the Queen is aware of Peppa Pig through her grand-children,’ a well-placed source said.And the royal guest star is even seen joining in Peppa’s favourite activity, donning her wellies and jumping in muddy puddles.
The show - to be screened next month - is designed to get young viewers involved in Jubilee activities.
You can also buy a Diamond Jubilee/London 2012 Olympics themed children's Peppa Pig Backpack/Rucksack bag, which features Peppa Pig with a heart featuring a Union Jack flag in it.
Also, as the diamond jubilee approaches, the Guardian Teacher Network, teachers.guardian.co.uk, has unveiled a "Peppa Pig" resource aimed to help pupils learn about the role of the Queen, and life during her 60 years on the throne, which features an English activity for younger pupils. "Peppa Pig and the Queen" is a caption-writing competition that asks: "When the cartoon character meets her majesty, how might the conversation go?" As a stimulus, a still from the programme shows Peppa and the Queen jumping in a big, muddy puddle.
