Mostly queens are made when there is a male heir or successor who is too young to be a King. A kingdom normally being ruled by a single King is also called monarchy. A kingdom ruled by more than two Kings is called oligarchy.
Sometimes the ruler has full control over the country, and sometimes the ruler keeps away from decision making, and it is the task of the government to make legislation. The King or Queen does not take part in making any kind of decision for the kingdom. The government is there for this purpose. In Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait, there is proper kingship, and no concept of government exists there.
The kingdom is usually a small geographic region as compared to the empire. It based on the same area of land. For a kingdom to be powerful, it must have a strong military force.
The economy is another factor that makes kingship strong. A kingdom is based on a single nation, so it has the same norms, traditions, religious, and cultural values. From the above discussion, it concluded that an empire is much larger and more powerful as compared to the kingdom.

Aimie Carlson. July 25, Imperium means power or authority. States and people of various ethnic groups constitute an empire. A kingdom is a domain ruled by a king or a queen.
The normal ruler of a kingdom is a king. So how does a queen comes to power? This happens if the next heir to the throne is a female.
Also, sometimes if the king dies, his wife becomes the ruler. So, she gains power as the queen. Even when the king is there the title of queen remains. To gain full controlling power of the kingdom, a queen has to be the sole ruler without a king. A kingdom ruled by one king is called a monarchy whereas a kingdom ruled by many kings is called oligarchy.
If it is ruled by two kings it is called diarchy. The United Kingdom comprises the England, Scotland and Wales that fall under the direct rule of the monarch king or queen. In the older times, a kingdom was created by conquest or the king inherited the right to rule from the family.
In the modern day, there are still kingdoms. These kingdoms exist as traditional or constitutional monarchies. Constitutional monarchies are the kingdoms where the king or queen is a figure head. They do not participate in decision-making as there is a government to do that.
A kingdom ruled by two people is called a biarchy. Although the king is considered to be the ruler of a kingdom, a kingdom can also become a part of an empire. In such cases, the king is under the control of the empire. Kingdoms still exist in the modern day as well; they can exist as either constitutional monarchies or traditional monarchies. Countries like United Kingdom, Spain, and Nepal are constitutional monarchies whereas countries like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are traditional monarchies.
Empire is a group of countries, states or regions ruled by a monarch, an oligarchy, or a sovereign state. Kingdom is a country, state, or territory ruled by a king or queen. Empire is larger in geographical area than a kingdom. Kingdom is small in comparison to an empire.
