Fits neither specification: I wanted a non-colony WITH the monarch.  You picked a colony WITHOUT the monarch.

Normandy's not a country, nor was it a colony, nor does it recognize the Queen as a monarch.  France is a republic.

"I believe every single person is extraordinary. The tragedy is that we
have a society where too many people never get to fulfill that
extraordinary potential. My view – the liberal view – is that
government’s job is to help them to do it. Not to tell people how to
live their lives. But to make their choices possible, to release their
potential, no matter who they are. The way to do that is to take power away from those who hoard it. To challenge vested interests. To break down privilege. To clear out the bottlenecks in our society that block opportunity and block progress. And so give everyone a chance to live the life they want." - Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

Neither a country, nor a former colony of the United Kingdom, nor does it recognize Elizabeth II as monarch (it's a self governing region of the Kingdom of Denmark - so Queen Margrethe II is monarch there, NOT Elizabeth II).

Ah, but Ireland is a Republic, so does not recognize Elizabeth II as Queen, and Northern Ireland is not a country.

And, Mozambique was certainly a Portuguese colony; we were referring to its modern capacity as part of the Commonwealth of Nations, though not having been part of the Empire.

Canada was in fact a British colony.

Both are parts of the United Kingdom for all intents and purposes.

Come on!  It's not THAT hard!

Another hint, then:

It wasn't a colony of the UK, it was the colony OF a former colony of the UK.
