The number of Commonwealth countries considering retiring the monarchy continues to grow.

Yeah, there probably are thousands of people in UK who would like to abolish the monarchy, as well as millions who don't want any such thing. The line up to pay final respects to Queen EII was 14 km long. That should give people some sense of perspective.
We don't want or need the monarchy here but let's not be so gullible to let a couple pictures convince us the UK feels the same. The Brits I know aren't in any hurry to change a thousand years of tradition because without their tradition and history, they have nothing special at all.
