The US is an outlier I think when it comes to the Queen since the US openly rebelled against the crown and won independence. Canada and Australia tell a very different story. India a very different story. All had much more attention to this story.
Elections happen all over the world every year. Some shift left, some shift right. "Framing" elections as an existential battle for democracy is mostly an American thing, specifically because of US politics in recent years.
