as an American this also makes me sad, the Queen is one of the leaders of the free world and in her passing, the world has lost a great leader

The phrase 'free world' is ironically apt. It was developed in the Cold War to refer to the US-led anti-communist bloc, precisely because 'free' is equivocal enough to cover despots ruling over capitalist economies. Of course, a Queen by definition is not an emblem of free government.
