Antigua and Barbuda plans to hold a referendum on becoming a republic within the next three years, the Caribbean nation's prime minister told British media in the wake of the Queen's death on Saturday, a move that could see King Charles III removed as its head of state.
Gaston Browne signed a document to confirm King Charles III's accession to the throne on Saturday but minutes later said he would push for the Commonwealth nation to cut ties within three years.
He had previously spoken of the possible move for the sovereign island country, which lies between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, during a visit from the Earl and Countess of Wessex in April.
