British Commonwealth was the former name of Commonwealth for Nations. British Commonwealth includes 53 independent countries that were the former territories of British Empire. To distinguish British Commonwealth from the other commonwealths around the world; it is often referred as British Commonwealth of Nations.
British Commonwealth is presided by the Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth II but it is an honorary gesture and doesn’t imply any political superiority of England over other sovereign states. Queen is the nominal head of the Commonwealth where as the original powers were bestowed over the Commonwealth Secretary-General who is also the chief executive of the organization. The sixteen members of the Commonwealth Realms are headed by Elizabeth II. Elizabeth II holds a distinct title for each 16 independent kingdom of the Commonwealth Realms, though Prime Ministers' Conference in 1952 declares that the name of the Queen must include "Head of the Commonwealth" at the end.
Members of the Commonwealth, other then the realm, have their individual Heads of State. British Commonwealth offers unique opportunity to its member nations, where they interact with each other and come face to face with various cultures and traditions. The primary target Commonwealth is to create an ambiance of monitory collaboration between member nations. It also promotes social equality, civil rights, and good supremacy within the nations.
The British Commonwealth is an unbiased amalgamation where United Kingdom is prohibited to implement any power.
