It’s because generally Queen is of lower rank than king/empress.
yes, empress is the feminine version of emperor, but is typically lower in rank thank emperor, so i think they're using it to show her power.
not true. an empress or queen is not lower in rank. it is depending on the situation. if the queen is the rightful heir, than she is of higher position. same with empress. it also depends on the system they have. is it where when the women marries, the man gets the power, or is it that both have the same power with some little differences, as both have their own "job". or is it based on heir and it stays like that, even if they marry. the queen of the UK is the ruler. her husband is "His Royal Highness, The Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh". He is not King. It depends. She seems like an absolute leader, thus the Title makes no sense in that manner. Elizabeth the 1. was also a super powerful ruler and she was "Queen". It is not the same as in those chinese thingies where the ruler dude has like 3ß482ß8ß2 queens haha....
glad i could help! im a huge anthropology / history buff, and entomology is my jam.
wait wrong person im responding to fuck mb i meant to respond to a different notif OTL
...can they not do it right and call it Empress? Or Queen?
Not like Elizabeth the 2nd is being called King, just because she is the formal ruler of the Kingdom, no she is called the "Queen of United Kingdom".
Man. I think this is like the third time or what, where I read something, where the women in charge is being called with the male title. Not that it is an issue, but it still is like negating that she is a women. A women is in charge. So she gets a female title.
Anyway...let's see where this goes.
