Except they didn't do that on Apple.ca for a country where she was actually Queen.

Apple.uk got it. Maybe .ca will get it later today.

It's on the Canadian landing page now. It appears that Apple is putting this tribute on individual landing pages for countries in the Commonwealth.

Other countries like Mexico, Japan, Singapore, France and Brazil aren't seeing this tribute (as of the time I'm posting this).

Apple is not putting this tribute on regional pages (like Latin America) even if there are Commonwealth countries in that region (e.g., British Virgin Islands). So it's really just a handful of countries outside of the UK: USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand I think.

Nice, dignified way to honour Her Majesty. Thank you, Apple

The Queen was grafter and worked right up to her passing. The Queen worked tirelessly for her country, the people and the Commonwealth. Unlike Megan Markle, who wanted to be a princess without the effort, commitment and hard work that is required as a working Monarch.

Megan was all about her, her and her. Harry married a princess alright but not of the Royal kind. Enough about Markle though. Today is about the brilliant and all admiring Queen of England, her majesty Queen Elizabeth.

Who is talking about Megan????? Well, since you brought her up: Why don't ya leave the woman alone?
