in barbados, it was something that was planned.overnment also use the opportunity in an upcoming general election to try to get a bit of a bump because of the push towards self-determination. those countries are probably going to be more measured and ask themselves if it is necessary at this point in time. katty: in the queen has sent her good wishes to barbados when they became independent from her. the country chose to stay as part of the commonwealth. what does being part of the commonwealth give to a country like barbados in practical terms? >> i will speak specifically about small island states. 32 of the 54 members of the commonwealth of nations are smaller states. for barbados and other small countries, it provides immense coverage to come together with countries like britain, ind, australia, and canada. and coming together as equals, knowing that these countries have considerable inflnce in the world and are going to provide support and endorse your own agenda. it was really the work at the commwealth that put small states

i along with people in barbados _ jubilee today? jubilee today? i along with people in barbados and across _ jubilee today? i along with people in barbados and across the - jubilee today? i along with people i in barbados and across the caribbean paid attention, i know my mother and many of herfriends paid attention, i know my mother and many of her friends watch the trooping of the colours, watch the service at st. paul's today, the thanksgiving service and her majesty is continued to be held in very high esteem in barbados for me and across the region. and we are thankful for her role as both head of state and head of the commonwealth because i think she made a large part of what the commonwealth is able to celebrate today possible. if we look at other colonial powers, decolonisation effort was fraught with controversy, with great difficulties and the fact that the independent countries within the commonwealth stayed to gather within this family of nations, i think is a great testimony to hurt leadership and her rain. we great tes

and in the case of barbados, for example, having a, a barbados head of state is part of that process of d colonization, which is so necessary to move forward so that we're not having the same conversations or that so that history isn't repeating itself, which it so often does, and so no, i don't believe that it can operate or should operate in the way has been of course, you know, in this country the queen is much beloved, but i feel like i'm one of the previous speakers spoke about this so, so wonderfully. i feel like when we just celebrate merely to celebrate where we're often continuing be erasure of our britons involvement, not only in slavery, but in colonialism and tin, you'd imperial imperial violence. but by britain we spoke a lot about canyon, and most people aren't even conscious of the fact that concentration comes in kenya was only in the fifty's, is not that long ago. and so, and these were all of the, all of these treacherous ags were all during the queen's right. and her predecessors who want to go as far back that far back. so i believe it's in the best interest for t

you were in barbados -- were you in barbados? most recently. >> i was in barbados and saw how they became a republic and speaking to people there saying it's just not relevant. the more dangerous -- more recent optic -- we've always had republican demos on these tours but what's changed is this way that people are attaching the issue of slavery and how that links into modern day racism to the royals and that's quite recent. >> it is and it's a huge problem for the monarchy. something they will be taking stock of. of course, it would be the british government to make an announcement on reparations or something like that and they're kind of -- as the symbolic figure heads in this very difficult position but it's something that obviously they are taking on board and lessons have certainly been learned from recent tours. >> i thought it was very constructive in barbados when the country was becoming independent. i remember hearing from a 9-year-old girl saying she thought the country was nice but to have a white woman culturally diff

and people within countries will have different opinions on this, but if we look at the fact that barbadoslly a country with very close ties with britain, very loyal barbadian community in the uk, even barbados became republic in november last year, i think thatis november last year, i think that is a sign that even countries with very long and historic highs to britain and its monarchy, some of them are thinking about changing their constitutional relationship with the uk and becoming republics. and i'm not too guessing it is going to happen overnight, but it is coming in the future. overnight, but it is coming in the future-— overnight, but it is coming in the future. there is, however, a lot of curiosity _ the future. there is, however, a lot of curiosity about - the future. there is, however, a lot of curiosity about the - a lot of curiosity about the british royalty as well. how do you see popular culture adding to those perceptions, for instance the tv programme the crown? nearly 73 million people worldwide watched the crown since 2016. what do you think that tells us?— that tells us

last year, barbados aually removed the queen as its head of state. and then when prince william and kate went on their royal tour of the caribbean, they faced protests. the queen has said it's her sincere wish for charles to carry on the commonwealth after she dies. but there is speculation that more and more members of the commonwealth will go the way of barbados. >> i personally think that the british monarch, as head of state of the last sort of 14 or 15 nations that still have the soft british sovereign as head of state, i don't believe that that will last more than a few years. i think that that movement has -- that ship has sailed, if you like, personally. >> what are they waiting for? >> they're waiting forhe end of the queen's reign, i suspect. >> the queen is still on the canadians' 20-dollar bill. and prince charles and camilla went to canada recently. they were caught on camera giggling through a performance of inu singers, and they were accused of being quite disrespectful. >> i mean, look, they're all completely out of sync with this who

instance a big push from the caribbean nations that are trying to drop the queen as head of state like barbados. and within the wider commonwealth, a lot of british colonies are reviewing their relationship with the uk even as it tries to expand what used to be the british empire. for instance in the opening ceremony, they point out that the fact that it is happening in rwanda speaks to how the common wealth is trying to reimagine a world and think about connecting and improving the lives of all their citizens. during this summit, they might also be accepting into the membership over countries that didn't have a traditional connection again to the british empire. truly it is impossible to i go n nor the i willelephant in the r with these nations saying that it was type to drop the queen following the example of barbados. it will be interesting to see how prince charles addresses it and if it is satisfactory to the leaders there and also the citizens. >> larry madowo, thanks very much. appreciate it. >>> do we have the live images of the royal portrait coming? no. as soon as we get it, we'll bri

so for example, at the end of last year, barbados voted to become a republic. so she said the queen is no longer their head of state, and we know that jamaica is also considering the same thing. so big issues for the royals. they tried to woo them by sending a prince william and kate there earlier this year. that didn't go down brilliantly because there were lots of people complaining about the fact that the royals are and britain in particular with 2 involved with slavery in the rest of it. so let's see what happens in the future. change, we're definitely becoming and talking about change. the queen is $96.00, she can't go on for forever. what will happen to the world family when she's gone? well, the 1st thing it will happen is that britain and many other countries will be in morning. and that is because the queen has been there for so many decades. and just in the past few years, she's been the glue that stock britain together. whether it's bricks it, whether it's cove it or whether it's just this cost of living crisis. so i think that that will be a major m

in november last year, with barbados, it shows it's personally ——it shows it's possible to remain inlic and the vast majority of commonwealth countries are republics, so there is no problem. there will be several views, perhaps some caribbean countries might be quicker to become republics and others such as canada and new zealand but i think in general, people wouldn't confuse loyalty to the idea of a commonwealth with remaining in the commonwealth. thank you very much. let's get some of the day's other news. south korea has fired eight missiles in a joint exercise with the us in response to weapons tests by north korea on sunday when pyonyang fired eight short—range ballistic missiles into the sea. the south korean military said it wanted to demonstrate its capability and readiness to target launch sites in the north. colombia's president has described a decision taken by a provincial court to order his house arrest for five days, as unconstitutional. the court, in the city of ibague, found ivan duque guilty of environmental crimes forfailing to protect a local national park. mr duq

let's listen to what the prime minister of barbados had to say about washington is wrong. that cuban venezuela, nicaragua, not here because as you heard from bahamas, that we need to speak with those with when we disagree. and we don't only need to narrow gas, that's the part of the problem of the world is too much narrow gas than instead of broadcast that there's too much talk in that instead of talking with. but secondly, those countries must equally recognise that you cannot want to fully participate if you're not prepared equally to engage and to see progress. and the simple priority must be people. not a d ology. sir rob. this summit certainly has been without its controversies. how will the exclusions impact the implementation of this agreement? that's not clear because the excluded countries were not the party to it. they are the source of immigrants rather than the countries handling the immigrant flows. so the reasons why those countries were excluded is because the, by the administration considers the anti democratic democracy and strengthening democratic institu

her people were originally from barbados. when people hear about a schoolteacher, you can think about wow, school teachers used to be politicians. she was part of the first congressional black caucus. we think about the black caucus as if it's always been there. it wasn't. the congressional black caucus and all of those black politicians we know about now, they grew out of this since 1965 voting rights act that needed to happen. we think about a really a brown or and people used to say oh, a really a brown or, we stand on your shoulders. you passed on -- get off my shoulders and get to work. when you think about these women who have done so much to make our foundation stronger, we have to realize that shirley chisholm could not have been shirley chisholm if they want other black women in politics. then, shirley chisholm goes on to run for president. >> yes. >> and on bossed, it is like, those are -- think about a black woman saying they are on bot and on bossed. that is something only we can really say. and we could mean it.

and her people were originally from barbados. and so when people hear about a school teacher you could think about wow, you know school teachers used to be politicians. she was part of the first congressional black caucus. we think about congressional black hawkins, like is always been there. it wasn't the congressional experience we know about now grew out of this sense of the 1965 voting rights act that needed to happen. we think about aurelia browder and and people used to say a really browder always said we stand on your shoulders and she really browder who'd be passed on was nearly a hundred years old. if not older said get off my shoulders and get to work. and so when you think about these women who have done so much to make our foundation stronger, we have to realize that shirley chisholm couldn't have been surely chisholm. if there hadn't been other black women in politics rising up each one only getting so far because then shirley chisholm goes on to run for president the united states. yes. yes and unbought and unboxed.

there's a number of islands, barbados and jamaica that have basically signalled that they're going to breakaway from the commonwealth. there's questions about australia and the future of australia. there's questions here in the u.k. about ireland and about scotland. so we'll see if it hangs on. there's been times before when it been sort of on tender hoofs. but one of the most significant things, we talk a lot about this special relationship between the two countries. we don't have royalty. we wanted to get away from it. we had a revolution over it. however, you know, the queen has been a source of stability since world war ii in this country. it's a signal in terms of values and western values and judeo-christian values that she holds dear that symbolize unity and the mutual respects of our countries. when the time comes that she does pass eventually, and we hope it's a long time away, her mother lived to be 101, i think you'll see a big change in this country. there was a lot of gratitude. nigel farage had tears in his eyes with me. he said he saw a lot of grown men with tears in th

commonwealth countries galvanized by barbados after officially removing the queen as head of state inse from william and kate's recent caribbean tour, the couple criticized for being seemingly out of touch. >> the benefit of long life brings me the experience that arrangements such as these can change calmly and without rancor. >> reporter: two new countries, togo and gabon asking to join the organization increasing the number of countries without historical ties to the uk. >> what matters to them is that as the queen is the head of the commonwealth and prince charles is the future head of the commonwealth is that these nations keep talking and keep working together for the greater good, and that's something i think the queen is really immensely proud of. >> reporter: now, prince charles also talked about the painful legacy of slavery, and in dealing with these sensitive subjects, what we are seeing is a prince making his mark and perhaps giving us a glimpse into what kind of king he would makee >>> still coming up on "good morning america," behind the scenes with florida a&m's marchi

dominican republic ceased to consider her head of state in the nineties mauritius in the twenty-first barbadosear in the caribbean her grandson prince william demanded an apology for the colonial past and the slave trade inevitably over the course of a long life we ​​face many difficulties. mine is no exception. elizabeth avoided any reputational temptations, unlike her many relatives. in particular, the younger sister margarita, who smoked and danced and fell in love and got divorced and lived a stormy, although not exemplary, shorter life than her correct sister king george the sixth spoke about daughters, my elizabeth pride margarita my joy, it cuts beautifully just great, so now let someone else finish it all, like a platinum anniversary cake, there was always someone who did all the preliminary and subsequent steps from baking the cakes. yes, washing dishes is her job and the british call it her job to appear at a key moment, for example, the opening of a railway line, a hat and gloves named after her, and throughout her long life there were calls for the abolition of all these ceremonies

we must remember revolts in barbados in 1816, the baptist war in jamaica in 1831 and nat turner's rebellion same year in the united states as black people attempted to make manifest the words of patrick henry, the famed american revolutionary, who proclaimed, "give me liberty or give me death!" -- even as he enslaved african human beings for profit. we must remember freedom fighters such as harriet tubman and frederick douglass and gabriel prosser. we must remember that it was not merely the enlightenment ideas, some reckoning amongst white abolitionists, that brought the end to this system that had enriched colonial powers, but that abolition was propelled by constant revolt that forced colonial powers to realize, as scholar mary reckford, wrote, it would remain "more expensive and dangerous to maintain the old system than to abolish it." black people were actors in their own freedom. obscuring and marginalizing stories of black resistance serves to justify the hypocrisy of colonial europe and the united states by insinuating that had slavery been so bad, surely, african peoples would have

and, and we saw that, i think, barbados earlier this year was a country that decided to remove her as the head of state. and when prince william and, and take when to jamaica or protests about colonization, et cetera. so i think there is a question about whether the monarchy has a succession program and some people do question about whether she will be the last one. she is an extraordinary woman, isn't she? she must be one the most. if not the most famous in the world, yet she has this extraordinary ability to have the stiff upper lip and to maintain the status as an even in the maze. sort of difficult of times. how valuable a role model do you think she is in this tiny little over sharing that we have on social media now? i mean, i think there are various things you say that it's stabilizing influence that she's had a very few constants in international politics. national affairs, but she has been one of those constants. and i mean, even though i was with a republican friend this morning watching the pageantry from london. and they turned to me and they said to me, looking at the cro
