 * "The Queen is Queen of Canada, regardless of her sovereignty over other Commonwealth countries. Our view is in strict accord with the present constitutional position, which is based on the concept of equality of status of all Commonwealth members."
 * "We in this country have to abandon... any sense of property in the Crown. The Queen, now, clearly, explicitly and according to title, belongs equally to all her realms and to the Commonwealth as a whole."[Bogdanor, Vernon (12 February 1998). The Monarchy and the Constitution. New York: Oxford University Press. p. 288. ISBN 978-0198293347.] [House of Commons, vol. 512, col. 199]
 * "Elizabeth II was equally Queen of Canada and the United Kingdom... Britain had to reconcile itself to the fact that it no longer had elevated status within the Commonwealth and that their queen was now equally, officially, and explicitly queen of separate, autonomous realms."
 * "[T]he other members of the Commonwealth were full and equal members with the United Kingdom, so that the Queen was equally Queen of each of her various realms."
 * "The royal titles adopted in each of the fifteen realms, of which she was equally Queen, would require the assent of the Parliaments of each."
 * "Thus Elizabeth II embodies in her own person many monarchies: she is Queen of Great Britain, but she is equally Queen of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa and Ceylon."
 * "[The realms are] equal in status, in no way subordinate one to another in any aspect of their domestic or external affairs, though united by a common allegiance to the Crown."p.3
 * "Britain had to reconcile itself to the fact that it no longer had elevated status within the Commonwealth and that their queen was now equally, officially, and explicitly queen of separate, autonomous realms."p. 28
 * "The royal titles adopted in each of the fifteen realms, of which she was equally Queen, would require the assent of the Parliaments of each."
 * "The Acts passed by each of the then members of the Commonwealth after the 1952 conference had to reflect the fact that the other members of the Commonwealth were full and equal members with the United Kingdom, so that the Queen was equally Queen of each of her various realms, acting on the advice of her Ministers in each realm."p.18
 * "Elizabeth II embodies in her own person many monarchies: she is Queen of Great Britain, but she is equally Queen of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, and Ceylon... it is now possible for Elizabeth II to be, in practice as well as theory, equally Queen in all her realms."p.52, 369
 * "Elizabeth II was equally Queen of Canada and the United Kingdom. The monarch remained shared, but the institution of monarchy had now evolved into independent constitutional entities... Although there was no hesitation among the Queen's realms in showing allegiance to their sovereign by appearing at her Coronation, their lack of official participation in the ceremony itself proclaimed to the world, in a dignified yet visible fashion, their status as equal, independent, and autonomous constitutional monarchies... [T]he Statute of Westminster, passed in 1931, had granted the former colonies full legal independence and had declared that the British and Dominion parliaments were equal in status."
 * "In the Commonwealth the path to equality has led to separate but equal facilities. Perhaps the clearest illustration of this process is the way in which the monarchical part of the constitution has been domesticated in the Commonwealth countries overseas."
 * "Britain could no longer rest on its imperial laurels and dreams of former glory; it had to reconcile itself to the fact that it no longer had an elevated status within the Commonwealth and its queen was equally queen of separate autonomous realms."p.144
 * "The Imperial Conferences of 1926 and 1930... declared the Dominions to be equal in status with the United Kingdom...
 * "So what changes in that constitutional relationship had occurred, which the Royal Style and Titles Act reflected? Australia, as a Dominion, was given equal status with the United Kingdom."pp.81, 111

 * "December 12: The Dail Eireann accepts the abdication of Edward VIII..."
 * "The Irish parliament passed its legislation on December 12, and the abdication took effect there on that date. Hence during the period December 10 to 12, 1936, there were different monarchs in different parts of the dominions, with different laws of succession applying."
 * "[December 12] At Dublin, the Dail Eireann of the Free State approved the bill which ratifies the abdication of Edward and the accession of George VI."
 * "As a result of this legislation, an anomaly arose, December 12, 1936, in that Edward VIII continued to be ie King of the Irish Free State, hereas in all other parts of the Commonwealth he had already been succeeded by his brother."
 * "The Divisibility of the Crown -- This issue has been carried far by the effect of the abdication of Edward VIII. As has been seen (q), the Union of South Africa held it effective on December 10, the Irish Free State on Decemebr 12, while for the rest of the Empire the date was December 11, 1936. In a sense, therefore, the divisibility is a fait accompli..."
 * "The South African government took the view that the trhone was vacated by Edward VIII immediately he signed the Instrument of Abdicaion on December 10, and therefore George VI was King in South Africa before the passing of the United Kingdom Abdication Act on December 11."
 * "The Executvie Authority (External Relations) Act, 1936, recognised the change of throne but only with effect from December 12, so that Edward VIII reigned one more day in the Free State as he reigned one less in the Union."
 * "It appears therefore that the accession of King George VI to the throne of his various Kingdoms took place on three different days."
 * "[B]ut in 1936, when, because of differential legislation in the various Dominions consequent upon the abdication of King Edward VIII, “the accession of King George VI to the throne of his various Kingdoms took place on three different days."

1957 visit

 * "The Queen told the Canadian people last night that she would go to the United States on Wednesday as head of the Canadian nation.
 * "'I shall be going in other capacities as well but when you hear or read about the events in Washington, and other places, I want you to reflect that it is the Queen of Canada and her husband who are concerned in them.'"


 * Queen Elizabeth II would follow in her father's footsteps by visiting the United States as Queen of Canada in 1957, 1959, and 2010..."p=49
 * "'When I go to the United States I shall be going as the head of the Canadian nation to pay a state visit to the head of our great neighbouring country.'"
 * "'When you hear or read about the events in Washington, and other places, I want you to reflect that it is the Queen of Canada and her husband who are concerned in them.'"p=16
 * "Queen Elizabeth followed her father's precedent when she visited Canada in 1957 to become the first sovereign to open the Canadian Parliament. And when she subsequently visted the United States she did so as Queen of Canada."
