Elizabeth was the Queen of England, the Queen of Canada, the Queen of Australia, etc., etc., it's the definition of being a Commonwealth Realm. So, at the time of her death, she had about 150 million subjects.

Given that all the countries with more population than that have a constitution and not a sovereign, it's safe to say yesterday she was the most prolific monarch alive.

India has been a republic since 1947 and is a member of the Commonwealth.
