    You can find up-to-date contact information, such as street address, on the official website for the royal family of the UK. In addition to how to address the queen, there are other formalities you ought to respect. The queen receives a great number of letters every day, and she could not possibly read all of them herself, so there are staff members in place to review and - if deemed necessary - reply to your letter.
