International and Domestic Role
One of the most complicated features of the Grenadian Monarchy is that it is a shared monarchy.
54 states are members of the Commonwealth of Nations. Sixteen of these countries are specifically Commonwealth realms who recognise, individually, the same person as their Monarch and Head of State; Grenada is one of these. Despite sharing the same person as their respective national monarch, each of the Commonwealth realms – including Grenada – is sovereign and independent of the others.
