List of sovereign states headed by Elizabeth II

The number of states headed by Queen Elizabeth II has varied during her 72 years on the throne, altogether seeing her as head of state of a total of thirty-two independent countries during this period. The 16 that presently have her as sovereign, known as Commonwealth realms, are shown in light green, while the remainder show in dark green the reign of Elizabeth II as their monarch, from their independence until their adoption of a republican form of government.

Fiji is a unique case. The country became a republic through a military coup in 1987, after which its Great Council of Chiefs continued to recognise Elizabeth II as queen, or Paramount Chief, until the council's de-establishment on March 14, 2012^[2]. However, this was only a ceremonial title, with no role in government at all.^[3] Her reign over the United Kingdom includes the 14 British overseas territories and the 3 Crown Dependencies.
