What a surprise – not

Stuff reports:

The Commonwealth has confirmed that Prince Charles will be the next leader of the organisation of Britain and its former colonies once he succeeds his mother Queen Elizabeth II on the throne.

Commonwealth leaders meeting in London said in a statement that the next head of the organisation “shall be His Royal Highness Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales.”

This is no surprise. It is the only logical decision.

For NZ it means that even if we become a republic, we will still have a link to the British Royal Family through the Commonwealth.
