I think that the British Commonwealth will survive the death of Queen Elizabeth II for the reason that, except for the Civil War and the reign of Oliver Cromwell who was eventually overthrown when King Charles II was returned to the throne with the Reformation, the Monarchy has lasted throughout a thousand years more or less, surviving the Wars of the Roses, the deaths of Elizabeth I and Charles II, who had no legitimate heirs, and the abdication of Edward VIII (later the Duke of Windsor). Although frequently enough there is talk of dispensing with the Crown, the English ultimately support their royals. If Prince Charles should outlive his mother, surely he will become King Charles III, Camilla the Duchess of Cornwell notwithstanding, because that is the system of the lineage of the throne, and following Charles or his grandmother, William will be King. Just judging by the excitement and interest, the prevalence of the paparazzi surrounding her, the English and the World are already charmed and clamoring for news and gossip of Kate Middleton, William's possible future wife; that sort of celebrity reflects upon Great Britain prominently and positively, and the citizens are not likely to choose to lose it!

The Commonwealth geographical regions are all former colonies which in the technique of independence from the united kingdom chosen to keep The British Monarchy as their very own self reliant Monarch. So Elizabeth II as nicely as being Queen of the united kingdom is likewise Queen of Canada, Australia and 13 different international locations. that may no longer an uncommon occurrence. till now Union the holder of the English Crown replace into the holder of the Scottish and Irish Crowns. in certainty William III as replace into additionally the "Statholder" of what's now the Netherlands this is affectively the Prince-President of the Netherlands. George I - William IV have been additionally the Prince-Electors and later the Kings of Hanover. Its like i might desire to be the President of the fishing association and the soccer league on the comparable time. immediately the President of France is the Co-Prince of Andorra.

Interesting question! I really don't know, the Queen is the glue that holds it together.
Incidentally, we are talking about the Commonwealth, not the monarchy, that's a whole different subject.

no the commonwealth will die when or if Britain joins the EU. I mean why keep the monarchy as a figure head when London is taking its orders from Brussels or Geneva or wherever?

No, because the Dominion is only a centralized version of the Commonwealth, and it existed well before her birth. I do believe that Prince Charles is incompetent however, so I'm hesitant of the slogan being changed to God Save the King, as I really don't want god to save him :(.

Of course not. Traditions will keep things going until the next monarch is settled into the job.
