I'm not a fan of the monarchy, and I loathe the prospect of seeing Charles on the money, but damn, what did Lizzy ever do to these people? All she ever did was cut ribbons, swear in Prime Ministers, shake hands with presidents, and wish everyone a merry christmas.
I think I might have figured part of it out... she was made queen in the 1950s, which pretty definitively disproves the "everything was sexist back then" thing. They want to pretend that no queen could ever rule because sexist men run the world. But it is a lie and always has been. Elizabeth reminds them that they were never held back by sexism.
I'm an anti-monarchist but damn...
Same.

They're held back by stupidity and poor decisions that started with race/gender studies degrees
