Monarchs and the gentry have historically been right-leaning. But, in this day and age, I wonder how much that still holds true. That is, I wonder how right-leaning they still are.
Do you suppose that Queen Elizabeth (and perhaps other top members of the BRF) is a member of the Conservative Party?

She's not a member, but it's been well known that her personal political views do lean right. I would characterize her as a Tory in the general sense of the term, but not in the party specific sense.
Who knows! The Queen doesn't really say much or do anything. She has never once done anything enough ti form an opinion. Historically, the only positions the monarch has offered would lead me to believe it is a right wing fascist position.

The Queen is by her very title a conservative. Conservatism is primarily about the preservation of established elites if you are to take the definition of conservatism literally.
Opinions on her personal politics vary. There is actually a play about her weekly audiences with the Prime Minister starring Helen Mirren on right now at the Gielgud Theatre in London. It stops just short of sycophancy according to the review below but as is to be dutifully expected the Queen is displayed in a very positive light, British PM's substantially less so.

One thing we do know is that the Queen is very adamantly against Turkey joining the EU. Something she insisted on bringing up with the Prime Minister according to leaked documents which is strange given that her role is supposed to be merely ornamental.
Turkey is not in Europe so I think the Queen is right there.
Do the Royal Family vote?
I doubt they go for Labour somehow though
