Morphology
The meaning 'female sovereign ruler of England' is directly derivable from the constituents 'queen' + 'of' + 'England', with 'of' marking the relationship/possession. This straightforward compositional noun phrase is cross-linguistically common and would be understood by a B1 learner who knows the individual words.
Etymology
Queen of England comes from long ago when a woman who ruled England was crowned and wore a crown while sitting on the throne. So Queen means a woman ruler and England names the country, and the phrase means 'the woman who rules England'.
