The King met today with members of the monarchy’s Commonwealth. Currently, there are 56 independent nations, mostly former British colonies, that are loosely members of the Commonwealth. The 14 Commonwealth realms outside the U.K. now recognize the new king as their head of state. An April poll in Canada showed as long as the Queen was alive, 55% of Canadians wanted to remain a constitutional monarchy, but after her death, only 34% thought the system made sense. Last year Barbados voted to become a Republic meaning the British Monarch is no longer its head of state, though the island country is still a member of the Commonwealth. Jamaica is now pushing for a similar vote.

Well give them the wealth not the common🤣
A monarchy can only survive as long as they appease their citizens using the country's wealth or as long as they have the military power. But once the absolute ruler is dethroned, the power struggle could ruin the country
Breaking away is a mental state thing, NOT a country thing…
Answer: No.
The U.S. should become a British colony again so it can learn some manners
People don't realize they would never have been born had it not been for slavery.
Fighting 8.5% inflation (more like 35%) with a 1% Fed funds interest rate is like stopping a forest fire with a bucket of water. Folks prepare accordingly. Make investment in other not to depend on the government for funds
Canada people don’t want to be part of the commonwealth 😖😡😡😡😡😡😡
The fascination you Americans have with this, and indeed the Royal Family, never ceases to amaze me. The UK sold the idea of a real commonwealth of nations down the river when they joined the EU! It probably is too late to reach out and make it a thing again – why this interests the US is beyond me!
Media coverage of the monarch's death in the United Kingdom is like 24 hours in America and full of nice thoughts, but when I visited Cambridge University several years ago, the local working class people there didn't seem to be so high about her. Matter of fact, most of the British people there expressed to me a certain degree of resentment for Windsor wealth, wayyyy too many gold chalices for a bunch of figureheads.
Russia is using energy as a weapon, cutting supplies and manipulating Europe's energy markets. Yesterday, Russia launched a missile attack on the Kharkiv thermal power plant in Ukraine, they are trying to leave civilians without electricity, heat… Russia is a terrorist that must be stopped! #Russiaisaterroriststate
If you don't vote for me your not black and if you don't vote for democrats your not a woman, referring to abortion law Biden said he would pass!!

God Save The Kinks
One string is pulled as the quilt begins to unravel.
Yeah like the queen or king have something to do with it. or they have any power or a say-so. I dont why most people believe in this sham already.
Now that the crown is in a weak position commonwealth countries should do something about it
Barbados government changed the constitution without a referendum.
Is time.
Duckies.
Yea, where did they get then Money? Slave and jajaja
You can never trust a king to pull out. You have to do it yourself and give him the boot.
I had to miss a Manchester United game today cause some old lady died! It’s like so? 1300 people died from floods in Pakistan in recent weeks!
I sure hope Canada leaves
