To everyone complaining about the Queen, you have to remember the prophecies aren't set in stone, but they ARE what will happen if no intervention is taken.
The father dies in a carriage accident? Only if the prophecy isn't known and not heeded. Weather kills people? Can be stopped if action is taken to avoid it.
The Queen had a prophecy showing if she did what she was planning on doing -being a loving mother - her daughter would turn into an unbearable tyrant. So she took action to try and prevent that. Especially since it lead to her daughter getting bad ended anyway.
It so happened that her choice lead to the same fate anyway, or possibly a worse one. Except for the fact Pryde is now a reincarnator.
