Her royalty wrote:
Paula Radcliffe cheated for half of her career (the half where she was fast) and didn't get caught. Yet, she is a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, as awarded by Queen Elizabeth.

The Queen of England ceased to exist in 1707. Did you do history at school?
"Anne (6 February 1665 – 1 August 1714)[a] became Queen of England, Scotland and Ireland on 8 March 1702. On 1 May 1707, under the Acts of Union, two of her realms, the kingdoms of England and Scotland, united as a single sovereign state known as Great Britain. She continued to reign as Queen of Great Britain and Ireland until her death."
