The Queen kept the Commonwealth intact. But with King Charles III, calls to drop the monarchy resurface in Caribbean countries
are part of the commonwealth realm, including Canada, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Jamaica, and New Zealand, though the monarchy’s role in these nations is mostly symbolic. Over 40 additional countries are part of the Commonwealth of Nations, many of which do not officially recognize the royal family as sovereign.
This was a draw for many of the Caribbean nations who were early in their development when the Commonwealth formed, Matthew says, and virtually unknown on the global stage. “As they’ve become a lot more assertive and have a presence that is not just an addendum to the Empire, there is a view that that should be sufficient to carry them through.”
Many of the benefits first promised by the Commonwealth have not materialized, Niaah says. “We’re relying on those arrangements to bring us serious socio-political transformation, but they have just made us more financially imbalanced.” “During the period of imperialism, colonialism, and slavery, the African heritage elements to the Caribbean were significantly undermined by the dominant imperial structure,” Smith says. “Now we’re at a moment in time where consequences and motivations of that—profit and human exploitation—are much more widely known and understood. And that brings that entire relationship into sharper focus and greater questioning.
