sovereign state headed by British monarch

AI overview

A Commonwealth realm is a country that has the British monarch as its head of state, even though it governs itself independently. This arrangement matters because it represents a historical connection between Britain and certain nations that were once part of the British Empire, allowing them to maintain this symbolic link while operating as fully self-governing democracies.
