Grenada refused the oath of allegiance to the British crown

The government and the opposition of Grenada joined forces to renounce the oath of allegiance to the British crown. This was reported by The Guardian newspaper on Friday, August 8.

"The unanimous support for this amendment demonstrates our shared commitment to national identity and constitutional progress, and although we may disagree on many issues, today we reaffirm together that our allegiance belongs to Grenada and its people," said Grenadian Prime Minister Deacon Mitchell.

The changes will remove the mention of "His Majesty King Charles III, his heirs and successors" from the oath of allegiance, replacing them with "Grenada". The amendment covers various constitutional provisions, including the oath of deputies, ministers and citizens at the time of marriage, as well as other laws that prescribe the oath of allegiance.

"This change reflects the growing national mood to directly affirm loyalty to the country and its people, strengthening the sovereignty and identity of Grenada," the office of the Prime Minister said on Facebook (owned by Meta, a company whose activities are recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation).

In March last year, Scotland's first minister, Hamza Yousaf, called for seeking independence from Britain due to the decline of the kingdom. He noted that he does not support unilateral secession from the kingdom and wants to seek a referendum.
