Henri is right in so many ways, since it is generally the bourgeosie who have so often separated the head of the head of state from their body and from the body politic. We have rather a proud history of killing our monarchs in this country (and a rather less proud one of letting their children run the show demented afterwards), so don't feel too ashamed. If she or her heirs or successors were to try something uppity, I'm sure you would be encouraged in your regicidal response on both sides of the pond.
