Buckingham Palace says it is fully open to Commonwealth realms removing King Charles as their head of state if citizens choose a republic. Officials pointed to Barbados becoming a republic in twenty twenty-one as a peaceful model and said the decision rests with each country. The remarks follow the King's Caribbean tour amid renewed debate over the monarchy, slavery history and reparations across the Commonwealth.
