International and Domestic Aspects
Further information: Commonwealth realm: The Crown in the Commonwealth realmsBarbados, is one the Commonwealth realms, sharing the same person as their respective monarch. Each realm is sovereign and independent of the others, meaning the Barbadian monarchy acts as a separate Kingdom with both a separate and yet shared character, and the monarchy has also thus ceased to be an exclusively British institution, although it has often been called British since this time (in both legal and common language) for reasons historical, political, and of convenience. On all matters of the Barbadian state, the monarch is advised solely by Barbadian Ministers of the Crown, and, effective with the Barbados Independence Order of 1966 and Statute of Westminster (1931), no British or other realm government can advise the monarch on any matters pertinent to Barbados.
