09:22 : The future of the monarchy is an even more pressing issue in Commonwealth countries. In November 2021, Barbados declared itself a republic, no longer recognizing Queen Elizabeth II as head of state. “It is very likely that on the death of the queen, the question of the maintenance of the dynastic link between these countries and the monarchy will accelerate”believes Philippe Chassaigne, historian at franceinfo.
09:25 : “The estrangement of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, accusations of racism within the monarchy, Prince Andrew accused of sexual assault… All of this does not meet the values of the MeToo generation and Black Lives Matter. “
In Great Britain, the movement for an abolition of the monarchy towards a republic remains minority. However, recent polls show that the monarchy has fallen out of favor with younger people and ethnic minorities.
09:25 : As the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth countries prepare to celebrate 70 years of the Queen’s reign, the fragile health of Elizabeth II and the scandals affecting her family are raising hopes among British Republicans for a diet change. But this changeover is very unlikely, according to several specialists.
