The British people and their counterparts in the Commonwealth are certainly permitted to feel of her any way they please.

Actually, I believe the opposite is true: that "treason" is still a punishable offence among the English monarchy's claimed subjects?

On a related note, I believe that 'The Guardian' is taking a test case against a UK law (dating from the mid-nineteenth century) making it an offence to advocate a republic.
