The Queen is not only Queen of the United Kingdom, but Head of the Commonwealth, a voluntary association of 53 independent countries. Most of these countries have progressed from British rule to independent self-government, and the Commonwealth now serves to foster international co-operation and trade links. These pages explain the history and structure of the Commonwealth and The Queen's part in its role of bringing people together from every part of the world. |
