I love the queen. She even looks a bit like my mom. No queen in America so I adopted her.

Same here. She and my mom looked a lot alike.

Same here. She and my mom looked a lot alike.

I saw my mother in her features, and a friend of mine did likewise, and our mothers looked nothing alike.
I think it's an archetypal phenomenon of a maternal figure, one who has been familiar to us for many decades.
Bless her.
