The Friendliness problem is, at its root, about communicating values to an AI and keeping those values stable. If we tell the AI "do whatever Queen Elizabeth II wants" - which I expect would be a perfectly acceptable society to live in

That depends on whether we mean 2013!Queen Elizabeth II or Queen Elizabeth after the the resulting power goes to her head.
