On the comment above about feeling sorry for the “ poor Queen who started her reign with an empire and now has no empire” etc, it is tone deaf comments like this that make some of us sit up.
I think you missed the point of that post and should sit right back down. The post was not about HM having an empire. It was about how, when HM started her reign, the queen was the head of an empire and she sacrificed her family for that empire, and now, those sacrifices were (in the poster's opinion), all for naught.
