'the queen' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'british run and hide around lake' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'lake' becomes 'l' (geographical abbreviation).
'b'+'run'+'hide'='brunhide'
'brunhide' enclosing 'l' is 'BRUNHILDE'.

'from' is the link.
