I guess if Dracula and his Lieutenants wants to dominate England, they have to get through her first it seems:

Corgis are Vampire food anyways.

In a bite-off between a Vampire and a spoiled Welsh herd dog I'll bet on the Corgis every time!

As I can remember in "Anno Dracula" as the "Undeath" story is more than likely based on, Dracula would more than likely enthrall Queen Elizabeth as one of his "final victories".

Well he'll certainly TRY, but since this isn't ANNO DRACULA and Her Majesty would appear to be packing her very own Superhero team, one suspects that His Wickedness will have a much harder time getting his feet under the table at Windsor Castle in THIS timeline.

Especially the fact that Dracula is more than likely prefers the blood of nobility as clearly shown in the last issue where he snaps a Texan's head because his blood is not worth drinking at all but he's far more likely going to drain dry Charles Apex Jr because his bloodline traces all the way back to Hyperborea with "Pex the Barbarian" as in his bloodline consists of Mighty Kings/Queens, Emperors and Heroes as revealed in the recent "Apex World" issue which would probably make him exceptionally more powerful in combat probably if he's able to absorb that bloodline's particular traits at all.

On the other hand he appears to have had no problem living off the crew of the Demeter (assuming, of course, that they were an "in-flight snack" as well as his "in-flight entertainment"*).
*I'd actually love to see a DRACULA film drawing inspiration from that series of events in the novel; one imagines there's a good deal of horror to be milked from seeing a crew stealthily pulled to pieces by a shadowy killer, especially if one of that crew (the Romanian mate who, faced with a choice between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, preferred the latter) has some idea of what is killing them but doesn't know nearly enough to form a workable defence (especially a long, long way from ready supplies of Holy Water, Communion Wafers and other such tools of the Vampire Hunter).

Well the reason why fed off the crew of the Demeter because when got on that ship was still in a weak state and he had to feed on anything close to him to get his youthful appearance back when he arrives in London.
Of course primarily, Dracula just has a preference of drinking the blood of nobility being one of his "favorites" along with drinking the blood of mortal enemies as well.

I'd argue more the latter than the former, since we never actually see Count Dracula prey on aristocrats - Miss Lucy is what we British would call upper middle class (money, but no real rank or title), Madam Mina is a schoolteacher (which implies fairly humble origins) and the crew of the Demeter are so very common they aren't even serving with the Royal Navy! (though the "Weird Sisters" appear to be aristocracy-adjacent, at least).
In all honesty, going by the novel alone we don't really get much an idea of Count Dracula's patterns, since his entire objective in the novel is the BREAK the habits of long centuries.
