The British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported the war, but the majority of the population was opposed. This was evident from the massive protests that took place in London prior to the invasion of Iraq in 2003. The military supported the government's decision to go to war but did not have a broad opposition to it. The Queen, being a constitutional monarch, is expected to remain politically neutral and does not publicly express her views on political matters.
