English originates from England, Great Britain, where the Queen not only means the symbol of the British Royal Family, but also the pure, excellent, standard, supreme and the most lofty things. Queen’s English is also a phrase, which means the standard British pronunciation and intonation. The international phonetic alphabets are based on and stipulated by its accent. There are some famous terms and accents can also be referred to as the Queen’s English, for example, RP English, Oxford English and BBC English. The opposite of Queen’s English is American English, which derives from the British English, just like the English spoken in Australia, Canada, India and Africa etc.
