The British Commonwealth of 56 nations may disintegrate after the accession of Charles III, Maggie Miller, the author of the Politico portal, expressed this opinion in an article.

She noted that after the death of Elizabeth II her son Charles not only inherited power in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, but also became the acting monarch in 14 independent states: Australia, Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Belize, Grenada, Canada, New Zealand and others.

However, the reason why such a large commonwealth continued to exist may have been a sense of great loyalty to the Queen's personality, said Elizabeth Brough, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.

Miller, the author of the article, stressed that Australia had appointed its first minister in 2022 to lead the transition to a republic. New Zealand's willingness to make New Zealand an independent country was also announced by its prime minister, Jacinda Ardern. The article points out that similar processes are taking place in other Commonwealth countries.

According to Sue Onslow, director of the Institute for Commonwealth Studies at the University of London, Charles III will still try to continue his mother's line of behavior.

"Charles will be another royal diplomat. But time will tell whether his far-flung dominions are ready to accept a new face in the same crown," she noted.
