[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 8943194, member: 42582"] Canada's constitutional arrangements are basically identical to Australia's and New Zealand's. There is a personal union of thrones - the same person occupies the thrones of the UK, Australia, NZ and several other realms and territories. There is also a diplomatic agreement between the relevant countries to ensure a common law of succession. This was last changed around 2013, to remove various bars around women and Catholics: that Canadian succession law can be read here: [URL="https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/S-23.5/FullText.html"]Succession to the Throne Act, 2013[/URL] EDIT: Hussar, I think you are confusing the "repatriation" of the constitution that took place in the early 80s with the arrangements made at the Imperial Conference and then via the Statute of Westminster in the late 1920s/early 30s, which established Canada (and the other "Dominions") as independent nations with equal sovereignty to the UK. The first test of those arrangements was made by the Australian government in the early 1930s, which insisted on the appointment of Sir Isaac Isaacs as Governor-General against the wishes of the then monarch. The government of the UK advised the monarch that he was obliged to act on the advice of the Australian government. But this does not mean that Canada is not a constitutional monarchy. The best place to get a handy list of the forms and titles is Wikipedia - [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_titles_and_honours_of_Charles_III"]List of titles and honours of Charles III - Wikipedia[/URL] - and that will tell you that in Canada the king is His Majesty Charles the Third, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom, Canada and His other Realms and Territories King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith. Here in Australia he is His Majesty Charles the Third, by the Grace of God, King of Australia and His other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth. [/QUOTE]
