Republicanism has long been one of the major challenges to monarchy, and the majority of countries in the world are now republics. Yet monarchies endure. King Charles III reigns over the United Kingdom and also over fourteen realms in the Commonwealth of Nations, from Canada to New Zealand, and from the Bahamas to the Solomon Islands.
Many former realms of the British monarch, however, have become republics, most recently Barbados, and Jamaica plans to follow suit. With Dr Harshan Kumarasingham of the University of Edinburgh, we conclude this series of podcasts with some reflections on the transition of British colonies to Commonwealth republics. And we look at some of the issues involved in making that transition in a country such as Australia.
