American media: Will the Commonwealth fall apart?

Charles III, who has just become the British monarch, also took the leadership of the Commonwealth. According to the United States "The Washington Post" reported on the 12th, the term "republic" has become a hot topic of Twitter that day, and some British members are "weighing" their future. There are 56 members of the Commonwealth, most of them are former British colonies or protected countries, and 14 of them are now nominal heads of state.

The Russian satellite news agency said on the 12th that the Prime Minister of the Caribbean National Antigua and Papoda's Prime Minister Giston Brown said that he would hold a referendum within 3 years to decide whether to become a republic.

Some Australian lawmakers are also promoting whether Australia is going to the republic. However, the Washington Post quoted Australian Prime Minister Albinese in an interview on the 12th and said, "It's not time for this debate." One day before, he said in an interview that whether Australia conducted a "republic referendum" was not his first priority of his first term.

"Will the British Queen of England fall apart?" The Wall Street Journal said on the 12th as a publishing article on the 12th of the United States. The death of Elizabeth II may promote the re -evaluation of its relationship with the British royal family. Even before her death, some countries had sent signals. In November last year, Barbados officially separated from the Commonwealth to become the Republic, and countries such as Jamaica were also preparing for this connection.

The US Public Broadcasting Corporation quoted observers as saying that, in view of the role of Charles III as the head of state, it is largely symbolic, and there should be no significant changes in the Commonwealth within the Commonwealth. However, many experts believe that the reception of Charles III may strengthen the existing republic movement of the Commonwealth. Among them, some Caribbean countries promote the "abandonment of the monarchy" and the reorganization of the British slave trade.

The Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) commented that the official languages ​​and judicial systems of many members of the Commonwealth are the "replica" of the UK, and the link between them is a common history: it was part of the British Empire. However, history is gradually drifting, and there are many pain, tears, plunder and occupation, and what maintenance of the Commonwealth will become a problem in the future. In addition, there is also a gap between white countries and African countries and some small island countries within the Commonwealth.

However, the BBC also quoted a view that even if Charles III is different from the Queen, he has the common memory of the British royal family blood. The British "Dialogue" magazine also believes that it may be expected that Charles III can be more aware of the changes in society. Although some countries are inevitable from the British Federation, people may see more "modern attempts" in the British royal family and make the monarchy more progressive and closer to reality.
