The world does not have a monolithic view, especially on an issue as big and as "historical" as UK's monarchy leader based on UK's "adventures" throughout the world for past centuries. She was the "symbol" of the adventures.
In some part of the world, the views (example below) are even far more extreme than Dave's, and its understandable from their POV and their history.

The joke of it here, most monarchists can at least understand someone's wish not have a British Monarch rule over them, yet they then follow up with "Instead of ER, I want this guy here to rule over me."

No matter what someone’s political or Commonwealth views may be. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was an example to us all. She gave her whole adult life to the Role of Queen and took her responsibilities extremely seriously to the very end. Such self sacrifice is indeed rare and evidence of an amazing person. It is for these reasons that we love our Queen so much. Will we ever again see a person so committed to their role and unflinching in the face of a workload that would have many running for the hills ? I think it unlikely. Later generations appear less inclined to give up their normal lives for the greater good.
It is not about her title, it is all about the amazing person who was Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
My thoughts are with her family, as to them she was a Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother. Losing family is a horrible experience, royalty or not. We are all human.
I am grateful to the OP for this thread but, in my heart, knew it would lead to some controversial posts. That is just the sad World that we live in.

As for Uja Anya, words fail me and she will live to regret her outburst of hate. She is indeed fortunate to live in a country that celebrates freedom of expression and speech. She forgot a very important detail though….. what you write on the Internet is FOREVER, and the following applies …..
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt !
May Uja Anya be shamed by her horrendous statement for the rest of her life. She brought it upon herself.

I think, it is Uju Anya:
