Interregnums are dangerous - and the passing of Queen Elizabeth invites discontent across her former colonies, especially given King Charles' unpopularity even among British royalists, as the world watched him lose his composure merely a week into the stoic position of a constitutional monarch. However, recent polls have shown his approval rating increase from the low 40s to a recent high of 60% in favor of the new King. While this rally around the flag effect may continue for months or even years, the late Queen's funeral may be the last great occasion where all important heads of state descend on London for a monarch's funeral.

The Commonwealth of Nations, the relic of empire, is likely to lose members like Australia, as its people consider republican ideas. Brexit, the political divorce between the United Kingdom and the European Union, opened the door for Ireland to be reunited whenever Scotland also declared independence.
