That's definitely a minority viewpoint nowadays.
However... when I started my career in the Canadian civil service, I swore an oath to uphold the interests of the Sovereign and her rightful heirs and successors. I did not swear an oath to obey the Sovereign, to uphold democracy or Parliament, or to follow the wishes of the electorate or the elected. I never renounced my oath.
I think I can find at least a small amount of common ground with you.

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
