She's opened them twice, watched her daughter and granddaughter compete for Team GB and even leapt into the stadium with James Bond - when it comes to the Olympics it's fair to say the Queen has embraced every experience.
A young Princess Elizabeth, with her new husband Philip, was an enthusiastic fan when the Games came to London in 1948, watching her father George VI declare them open at Wembley Stadium.
Her lifelong passion for horses was underlined when she planned a holiday to Stockholm in 1956, which hosted the equestrian events for the Games in Melbourne due to Australian quarantine laws.
Staying on the Royal Yacht, she watched Francis Weldon, Arthur Rook and Bertie Hill claim team eventing gold.
Two decades later she timed a tour of North America to coincide with the Montreal Games, where daughter Princess Anne became the first member of the British royal family to compete for Great Britain, watched by brothers Charles, Andrew and Edward.
Riding a horse bred by the Queen, Goodwill, she suffered an unfortunate fall but still helped her team to a seventh place finish.
Fast forward to 2012 and it was the Queen's granddaughter, Zara Tindall, that followed her mother's example, this time winning team eventing silver on horse High Kingdom.
But perhaps it's a top secret mission with Britain's most famous spy that will forever define the Queen's long and storied association with the Games.
After 70 years on the throne there's not much the Queen hasn't seen or done - but very few would have predicted a starring role as Daniel Craig's most famous Bond girl.
When opening ceremony director Danny Boyle first thought of the iconic 007 sketch that started his award-winning show, he expected a lookalike to take the role of the Queen.
"It was part of the protocol - you have to bring in the Head of State and sing the National Anthem - and we thought we'd do something different so we wrote up this idea of the James Bond idea," said Boyle.
"We sent it in to the Palace and we were asking really for permission for them to accept and that it wouldn't embarrass them. We thought we'd be getting a good double, we were thinking Helen Mirren."
However, Boyle admitted he thought he was being wound up when a call from Palace officials confirmed she wanted to play herself in the greatest cameo in Olympic history - providing she could deliver the killer line 'Good evening, Mr Bond'.
She even kept her part secret from her family - a stunned Prince William famously shouting 'Go Granny' as the sketch played out to a disbelieving crowd at the Olympic Stadium and billions watching around the world.
Craig recalls: "The Olympics thing was one of those things where suddenly Danny Boyle was on set. Barbara Broccoli said to me 'can you come and have a word with Danny?
"I sat in the room and he pitched this idea to me and I just went 'You're out of your mind, what are you talking about?'
"He went 'no, no, no, we're doing it, we're doing it, we're doing it.'
"I was right in the middle of a scene and I kind of went 'yeah, ok' and then sort of walked off. And the next thing you know I'm literally on the way to Buckingham Palace in a tuxedo and we shoot it.
"Her Majesty's there, and Danny's giving her notes and she starts to improvise a bit too. She said 'would you like me to pretend to be writing?' and he's like 'yes, that's great, that's great'.
"She sort of acted a bit. That was all her own stuff and it was amazing. She was great, much calmer than me."
