From my perspective it's kind of more like she's looking at someone she wants to overpass? Something like that? ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ cause maybe she feels like she still hasn't won against the original princess's mother? Even though she's rip now ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍ Cause just a gues maybe it's that the people still see's the past queen as the true, strong and NOBLE QUEEN (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜 thats hy she still feels like she's lossing?
The gentleman was thinking that the queen does not simply want the crown and the power of it.
Because if that was really her goal, she can get it now with no problem, by taking down the current king. She have plenty power to do that.
But why is she taking a detour by trying to fight the princess instead?
That’s what make them curious. What exactly the queen want?
im confused too!! cuz the way she treats marianne contradicts with what i said about her "sad and longing face", but the other gentleman also said if the people are willing to let go of stable power, which means the queen's power and control over the kingdom is already good enough?? i dont really know, but it's possible that she's envious.

there's something on the queen's face and i think it's not jealousy. it's more like sadness and longing. im sorryy in not sure but that's what i see.
