True, but Victoria isn't the only example that could be used here of a rulers who committed monstrosities and died peacefully in their bed.

In THEORY. In practice, the UK Head of State has considerable influence and real power.

Recall the Yanks wanted to behead Hiro-hito.

She was still the British Empire's Head of State. And she definitely had more input into policy than Cabbage Emperor Biden has had as HoS.
