Canadian Ukrainians Pray for the Monarch

At St. Elias in Brampton, Ontario, Canada we do pray for the Queen of Canada: "For our Queen Elizabeth..." We also mention the Queen in the polychronion which is sung at the end of each service.
St. Elias is indeed the only UGCC parish in Canada where I have heard the sovereign prayed for. I wonder why nobody else does it?
The current official translations do not give the option. It would be interesting to find out what the norm was in Canada after the implementation of the Roman editions (which took well into the 1950's).
The photo, of course, is the iconic Cardinal Eugène Tisserant, dean of the Sacred College.
