‘Charles lacks certainty of the Queen’: Commonwealth countries may accelerate losing King as head of state
There are already indications that more Caribbean nations – inclusing Jamaica – will take steps to become independent from the monarchy and its links to British colonialism
Some Commonwealth countries may speed up the process to remove King Charles III as head of state following the death of the Queen, activists and academics have said.
Jamaica, Belize, the Bahamas, Grenada, Antigua and Barbuda, and St. Kitts and Nevis have already taken the first steps towards being a republic.
Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness signalled his intention to follow Barbados after it became a republic in November 2021 – and the Queen’s death appears to have hastened the process.
This year, Jamaica marked its 60th anniversary of independence – but writer and activist Marcia Hutchinson told i: “I don’t think it is really independent.”
Removing Charles as head of state would be a “recognition of the legacy of colonialism and slavery that has kind of been ignored” by the Royal Family, she said.
She added that: “Charles doesn’t have the certainty that his mother did, and I think a lot of countries are quite loyal to her personally.”
However, “changing head of state is not necessarily at the top of anyone’s priority list. There are lots of other things going on. There’s huge economic issues in the UK and in Jamaica,” she said.
When William and Kate – now Prince and Princess of Wales – visited Jamaica in March, Mr Holness said: “We intend to attain, in short order, our developing goals and to fulfil our true ambitions… as an independent, developed, prosperous country.”
