Sorry for the delay in updating everyone regarding the previous meta's results and solution. Watch this post for more details shortly. 

The answer to this week's meta is a fictional monarch  EDIT: This puzzle has given solvers some difficulty so I am providing extra hints below. 

The answer is a fictional monarch from television.

1) The penguin picture is not relevant to the answer. 
2) The meta answer can be derived from five entries. 
3) Three of those entries will help solvers determine the monarch's title.
4) The other two will help solvers determine the remainder of the monarch's name.

Submit answers HERE.

Answers are due by Tuesday, October  6 at 5 PM EST (deadline extended).
