Commonwealth Realm - Current Commonwealth Realms
The Commonwealth Realms are each members of, but should be distinguished from, the Commonwealth of Nations, which is an organization of mostly former British colonies, the majority of which do not consider the Queen to be Head of State.
Commonwealth Realms are, in alphabetical order:
- Antigua and Barbuda, since independence in 1981
- Australia, since adoption of the Statute of Westminster in 1942 (retroactive to 1939)
- The Bahamas, since independence in 1973
- Barbados, since independence in 1966
- Belize, since independence in 1981
- Canada, since the Statute of Westminster in 1931
- Grenada, since independence in 1974
- Jamaica, since independence in 1962
- New Zealand, since adoption of the Statute of Westminster in 1947
- Papua New Guinea, since independence in 1975
- Saint Kitts and Nevis, since independence in 1983
- Saint Lucia, since independence in 1979
- Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, since independence in 1979
- The Solomon Islands, since independence in 1978
- Tuvalu, since independence in 1978
- The United Kingdom.
Additionally, under the 1981 Constitution, the Queen in right of New Zealand is head of state in the Cook Islands, but any change in the succession made by New Zealand would have no effect in the Cook Islands unless separately ratified there.
Commonwealth Realm - Flags of the Queen in Commonwealth Realms
See Royal Standard for the different standards used by the Queen
The queen flies the British Royal Standard only in the United Kingdom; she has separate flags for Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Jamaica and Barbados. Each is a banner of the country's coat of arms with the royal cypher in the centre, a crowned 'E' for 'Elizabeth'. She also has a personal flag as Head of the Commonwealth, which is used for general Commonwealth purposes, or when visiting Commonwealth countries which do not recognise her as Head of State. The Queen formerly had flags for Sierra Leone, Malta, and Trinidad and Tobago, but when these countries became republics, they became obsolete.
Commonwealth Realm - Flags of Governors General
Similarly, the Governor General has his or her own flag, featuring a lion passant (from the crest which sits atop the Royal Arms for England) and a royal crown, with the name of the country written in capitals on a scroll underneath. The Governor General of Canada has a distinctive design, in which the lion is bearing a maple leaf.
