Corrected entry: D'Artagnan says there is no Queen of America when arguing with Porthos; technically the Queen of England would be the Queen of America, since the American colonies were still under British rule when this story takes place.

Correction: The Queen of England was the Empress of America, since the American colonies were part of the British empire. If there had been a Queen of America, she would have been a vassal queen under the rule of the King and Queen of England, and America has never had a vassal monarch of any kind, hence D'Artagnan's argument.
