After the death of the queen, Republican movements gain traction in the Caribbean.
The Queen Elizabeth II painting in Antigua’s parliament is draped in a black fabric as a symbol of the island’s sadness and an unintended foreshadowing of a future Caribbean without the British monarchy.As calls for the crown to apologise for the slave trade and atone for the sins of colonisation persist, commentators claim that the queen’s death has given republican movements in a region formerly ruled by the British empire new life. As a wider spectrum of society deals with the challenges and asks themselves what has the monarchy ever done for us, the concept “has entered mainstream, ‘common-sense’ debate.” says Kate Quinn, a University College London associate professor of Caribbean history. Republicanism existed before the end of the second Elizabethan era, but Charles’ ascension and her death have given the discussion in the area more traction, according to Quinn.
Following the passing of the queen, Antigua and Barbuda was the first to announce preparations to proceed toward becoming a republic. Prime Minister Gaston Browne told the media that he hoped to hold a vote on the matter within three years. Similar aspirations have been expressed by his Bahamas colleague, albeit no timetable has been provided. The day after the queen passed away, Prime Minister Phillip Davis was quoted as saying, “For me, it is always on the table.”
“I will have to hold a referendum, and I will need the approval of the Bahamian people.” As Prime Minister Andrew Holness clearly informed the king’s son Prince William during a disastrous visit of the Caribbean earlier this year, Jamaica is also thinking about “moving on.” They are treading in the footsteps of Barbados, formerly known as “Little England,” whose ruling Labour Party last year utilised its majority to pass a constitutional change that abolished the monarch as head of state.
