England's Queen Elizabeth II returns to New York after a 30-year absence, and will address the United Nations for the first time in more than 50 years Tuesday, and RadarOnline.com has the scoop for you.

The queen’s only speech given to the UN General Assembly came in 1957, when she was just 31. She is also slated to leave a memorial wreath at Ground Zero, the site of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

On Monday, the queen, now 84, turned heads at a banquet in Toronto, Canada, as she wore a dress decorated with Swarovski crystals to form a Maple leaf. She last wore the elegant gown to a state dinner in Trinidad and Tobago in the fall of 2009.

and don't forget the money that they raise for charities and the attention they bring to good causes!

I love the Queen! The Royals pay out more in taxes than they actually receive from the government. They also bring in millions of tourist dollars and taxes on those dollars as well. They make way more for the country than they get.

Damn this lady is old. The worldwide economic system is bad - therefore she has to wear out her clothes - twice if she must. Leave her be.
