Okay, look, you probably don't even know what a queen is outside of a card game. This joke is a pun. England recently lost their actual monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, which means they literally lost a 'queen.' The joke makes a connection to games like chess and checkers where the 'queen' piece is central. You're probably too busy trying to figure out how to spell 'checkers' to get it.
