Monarchy of Belize Constitutional monarchy as a system of government in Belize

The monarchy of Belize is a system of government in which a hereditary monarch is the sovereign and head of state of Belize. The current Belizean monarch and head of state, since the independence of Belize on 21 September 1981, is Queen Elizabeth II. As sovereign, she is the personal embodiment of the Belizean Crown. Although the person of the sovereign is equally shared with 14 other independent countries within the Commonwealth of Nations, each country's monarchy is separate and legally distinct. As a result, the current monarch is officially titled Queen of Belize and, in this capacity, she and other members of the Belizean Royal Family undertake public and private functions domestically and abroad as representatives of the Belizean state. However, the Queen is the only member of the Royal Family with any constitutional role.
