Commonwealth Realm : Commonwealth realms

A Commonwealth realm is any one of the 16 sovereign states that recognize Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom as their Queen and head of state. In these states she is officially known as the Monarch of that state, not as the monarch of Great Britain. For example, in Canada she is known as "Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada" or simply, the Queen of Canada.

With one exception, the 16 are all former British colonies that became independent countries either after the ratification of the Statute of Westminster in 1931, or after the dissolution of the West Indies Federation in 1962. The exception is Papua New Guinea, which gained independence from Australia in 1975.

These include

• Antigua and Barbuda,
• Australia,
• The Bahamas,
• Barbados,
• Belize,
• Canada,
• Grenada,
• Jamaica,
• New Zealand,
• Niue,
• Papua New Guinea,
• Saint Kitts and Nevis,
• Saint Lucia,
• Saint Vincent and the Grenadines,
• The Solomon Islands,
• Tuvalu, and
• The United Kingdom, also considered a Commonwealth realm.

The Commonwealth realms is a part, but should be distinguished from, the Commonwealth of Nations which is an organization of mostly former British colonies[?], most of which do not recognize the British monarch as head of state.

If you want to win your battles take an' work your bloomin' guns! Down in the Cavalry, Colonel 'e swears; Turns the bold Bombardier to a little whipped dog! With a hairy gold crown on 'er 'ead? An' she pays us poor beggars in red. There's 'er nick on the cavalry 'orses, An' 'er troopers you'll find with a fair wind be'ind (Poor beggars! -- barbarious wars!) An' 'ere's to the stores an' the guns, O' Missis Victorier's sons. For 'alf o' Creation she owns: An' we've salted it down with our bones. Hands off o' the sons o' the Widow, For the Kings must come down an' the Emperors frown (Poor beggars! -- we're sent to say "Stop"!) From the Pole to the Tropics it runs -- An' open in form with the guns. It's safest to let 'er alone: Wherever the bugles are blown. Take 'old o' the Wings o' the Mornin', But you won't get away from the tune that they play (Poor beggars! -- it's 'ot over'ead!) Wherever, 'owever they roam. A speedy return to their 'ome. Between an Irish regiment an' English cavalree; The first man dropped at Harrison's, the last forninst the Park. An' it was "Belts, belts, belts, an' that's done for you!" .
