Role of the Queen in the UK and the Commonwealth

1

The Commonwealth
Today, let’s talk about the Commonwealth. (Full
name - The Commonwealth of Nations). It is a
group of 54 independent Member States, most of
whom are former British Empire countries. The
exceptions are Rwanda and Mozambique.
Like the British Empire once did, the
Commonwealth today spans the world. Ninety
four per cent of the Commonwealth is in Africa
and Asia. It covers nearly one third of the world
and has over 2.1 billion people in it. This is
almost a third of the world’s population...
One of the most populous countries in the
Commonwealth is India. The smallest member is
Tuvalu, with about 10,000 people. The three
largest countries are India, Canada and
Australia. Nauru, an island country in Micronesia
in the South Pacific, is the newest member.
The Queen is Head of the Commonwealth. In
2012, The Queen celebrated 60 years as its head.
In fact, the British royal family unifies the
institution.
