I was taking a test online and there was a question about reflexive pronouns.
'They are going to receive the medals from the Queen _____.'
The correct answer is herself. I understand that the reflexive pronoun here is used to emphasize the Queen.
But is it correct to use themselves instead of herself?
themselves or herself (reflexive pronouns)

Re: themselves or herself (reflexive pronouns)
Grammatically possible (but obviously with a quite different meaning).
