A question for any of her Queen's "subjects"… but would lying to an inquiry of this kind have the equivalent kind of legal jeopardy as a witness lying to the United States Congress in a hearing (i.e. charges of perjury and obstruction of justice)?

I'm not sure it was something that she's supposed to have done. When Glen begins his testimony, he offers his sympathies to her. That seems to indicate that it may have been an allegation against her family.
