The real question is who gifted that to her.

It was intended for her but she never got it.

The story goes that THQ, the video game developer, sent the special gift to the queen. Still, neither the guards nor the queen's team believed that it was true that an order from the monarch was placed, so the Palace of Buckingham refused to receive it, and the queen never got it.

After THQ filed for bankruptcy, the 24-karat gold-plated Wii found its way to collector Donny Fillerup eight years later, and now the collector decided to put the console up for sale via eBay at an asking price of $300,000.
