I hope I don't get suspended for saying this but there seems to be an interesting article today on the internet, I think from the Independent newspaper, about the Queen's possible opinions about Brexit and what she thought about Thatcher:

The Queen expressed support for EU integration at a historic meeting with German diplomats, a declassified account of a meeting shows.
A diplomatic cable written by Ambassador Rüdiger Freiherr von Wechmar after a meeting with the monarch in 1988 says that the Queen left “no doubt that the future of Britain lies in Europe”.
The ambassador spoke with Elizabeth II for a farewell meeting at the German embassy in London and relayed his conversation back to his government.
The account of the meeting, reported by German’s Der Spiegel outlet, sheds light on the private views of the monarch, who has made an effort to keep out of politics throughout her reign – including in the Brexit debate.
