The fact you have to write that explanation is an indicator of how screwed up things are becoming. There is such a polarisation that if you're not 100% aligned, you're clearly in opposition. Shades of grey? Forget it.
You can think that black lives matter, without thinking Black Lives Matter is a healthy organisation. I'd go on, but you get the idea. Lots of self censorship going on in the modern world, people can't be bothered with the grief

also, this is probably a good summary of current thinking amongst many advocating for change
That is vomit inducing white guilt rubbish.
The sooner stop generalising across groups the better.
That's the root cause I reckon. You are first and foremost the arbitrary group you've been "assigned" to; black/ white, male/female/other, gay/straight/other. All non negotiable.

And it's also the main hope for them eating their own. As you see feminists getting labelled TERFs if the are outside the groupthink on Trans athletes.
Not many people that are black, disabled, gay and transgender and women with red hair.

haven't spent much time in but thought this was the best place for this
fair enough if they just dont want the picture anymore but the reasons seem bizarre considering, according to Wiki, 48 countries have gained independence from the commonwealth during her Reign....hardly the figurehead of colonialism
I'm not arguing with the substance of your post but questioning the last few words. Surely someone can be a colonialist, just not a highly effective one?
The Queen inherited all of that jazz and seems to believe in a fundamentally and logically conservative retention of tradition, not exactly a power-hungry colonizing force, but a conservative one (who probably doesn't believe she should go around apologizing to everyone, for the sake of social stability). I'm not a monarchist but I can understand that. Then again, the Royal Family seemed a little slow to pay tax.
The articles on alleged hypocrisy will not diminish, they will overflood the newspapers IMO. -

Think that was just the Queen herself. In return for not paying tax, she used to fund a lot of the stuff which the taxpayer now stumps up for.

It's also the sheer ignorance and arrogance of these people who think they are uniquely placed to "improve" society.
Daughter's middle name is Ngaire as a link to her NZ heritage and she was told by 2 Uni tutors in the UK she should change it as it's "cultural appropriation".
Funnily enough, all the maori she met in NZ thought it a great way to connect her to the land of her parents and ancestors.
