Commonwealth countries are ‘waiting for the Queen to die’ before deposing royals, according to a poll.
In a survey of 1,602 respondents, 62% thought countries were waiting for the Queen to die before quitting the Commonwealth.
30%, on the other side, provided an opposing response. Among the responses were the following: “I don’t believe countries are waiting…but certainly there will be changes [once the Queen dies].”

Others added: “Why wait? Do it already!”
One user said: “Why would they wait till the Queen dies? The Queen is merely a ceremonial head.
“The Commonwealth members are independent and could have and can make that decision any time.
“It will make no difference although it may hurt the Queen a little as she holds the Commonwealth close to her heart.”
“As a member of the Commonwealth, I look forward to the continued reign of Queen Elizabeth and her successive heirs for generations to come.”
This poll comes after Prince William and Kate Middleton’s Caribbean excursion was met with a chilly shoulder.
Jamaica’s Prime Minister, Andrew Holness, informed the Duke of Cambridge that his country wanted to opt out of the Commonwealth in order to become a republic.
“There are issues here, which as you know, are unresolved, but your presence gives us an opportunity for those issues to be placed in context, to be out front and center and to be addressed as best we can,” he told William and Kate during their meeting. “But Jamaica is, as you would see, is a country that is proud of its history and very proud of what we have achieved. And we’re moving on and we intend to… fulfill our true ambitions and destiny to become an independent, developed and prosperous country.”
