Queen Elizabeth II’s brand recognition higher than Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, more: report
The monarch also surpasses the Obamas, Beyonce and Bill Gates
Harry and Meghan declare financial independence from royals
Queen Elizabeth II is still massively famous after turning 95.
The Queen has reigned since 1952 and has long been a beloved public figure around the world.
For over a year now, interest in the family has been renewed thanks to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s recusal from their royal duties, followed by a recent explosive interview about their reasons for doing so. Additionally, Prince Andrew’s scandal and Prince Philip’s death have kept eyes on the Queen and her family.
Now, according to statistics from German research platform Statistica for True Royalty TV, Queen Elizabeth II’s brand remains a force to be reckoned with. The figures show she’s more talked about than media personality Oprah Winfrey.

Additionally, the report states that her brand recognition is higher than that of Kim Kardashian, the Obamas, Beyonce and Bill Gates, per the New York Post.
Despite her recent bumps in the road, QE2 has been able to build The House of Windsor into the world’s fifth-biggest "corporate" brand, the outlet reports – higher than Coca-Cola, Nike, Ferrari and Microsoft.
According to Nick Bullen, co-founder and editor-in-chief of True Royalty TV, Elizabeth has "built the British monarchy into one of the world’s biggest brands."
