If you think about it, technically speaking, if the reigning monarch and all of his/her heirs other than Leia were killed by the destruction of Alderaan, then she would thereafter have been the new Queen of Alderaan.
Assuming, of course, that the destruction of Alderaan does not legally constitute an abolition of the Alderaanian Monarchy, of course. Otherwise, she's just a pretender, no different from, say,
Vittorio Emanuele.
