I'm applauding the person, not the title.

Do you not understand the difference?

I think Lizzie is an amazing person.

This milestone should be recognised, and celebrated.

Your error is in separating the signifier from what it signifies and trying to make it out to be two different things.
Nora is picking up on that with a very sharp nose.
You, being a lowly, literal minded, stuck in the mud pleb, cannot imagine what is meant by a 'symbolic life'. The person of the monarch is relevent to the monarchy only to the readers like you of Hello!, New Idea, New Woman, etc.

William would be OK but

I agree. I am no fan of the monarchy as an institution relevant to Australia, however the Queen has done an amazing job and continues to work at an age when most people are long retired, with no prospect of ever really retiring at all.
