King Charles could lose leadership of Papua New Guinea

King Charles risks losing leadership of Papua New Guinea.

As per a recent report by the Commonwealth nation, it has been suggested that the king should be removed at the head of state.

The Oceanic country’s “Constitutional and Law Reform Commission” states that the British monarch should be removed to resolve the “ongoing claims of neo-colonialism”.

It is also being reported because of the kings position being purely ceremonial.

Hence, the report suggests that a Papua New Guinean should replace Charles.

The British monarch has been the head of state of the nation since 1975 after it became an independent Commonwealth realm.

The current king has visited the country twice, most recently being during his mother Queen Elizabeth II’s reign.

In 2012, when he was the Prince of Wales, Charles visited the country with his wife Camilla.

The 76-year-old is also colonel-in-chief of the country's Royal Pacific Islands Regiment.

Recently, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh made a visit to the country in September to mark 50th anniversary of the country's independence.

In September 1975, the Papua New Guinea Independence Act 1975 was passed setting September 16 as their date of independence.
