She cannot be sent to trial as in all court cases it is Her Majesty the Queen Versus the defendant.
The law is the Queens law.
The Queen can issue a royal pardon so it would make sence if she could be arrested she would just pardon herself.
If a monarch has been arrested/imprisoned, they have probably been overthrown first.
Hope this helps.

Magna Carta established the principle that the monarch was subject to the law like anybody else.
Indeed there are acts or parliament such as the Royal Marriages act pertaining soley to members of the Royal family.
Charles the first was tried and executed for treason. - your opinion on the legitimacy of this will probably vary as your politics.
It's unlikely to be an issue unless Prince William gets engaged to a Catholic.
I reckon that'd still light the blue touch paper

A while ago I asked this same sort of question, wondering what'd happen if she went beserk on a walkabout and kicked the crap out of someone. The general consensus was probably nothig much would happen to her, and the victim would become a celebrity.
"Strangling Prince Philip"... you're not the Queen are you, plotting something?
