15
They are: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis. On 30 November 2021 Barbados, which had been one of these, replaced Queen Elizabeth as head of the nation and transitioned to a republic within the Commonwealth of Nations. At the Queen's death in September 2022, her son King Charles III became King regnant.
