Ahead of King’s Charles' coronation in May, the monarch will aim to maintain and strengthen relationships with EU countries and the commonwealth. Although, it is controversial that the royals have prioritised visiting EU allies as their first overseas trip as monarchs.

King Charles has a challenge on his hands to sustain strong relationships with commonwealth countries and realms. The late Queen was known as Queen of the commonwealth and admired and respected for this very reason. As the most well-travelled monarch in history, Queen Elizabeth II has left her son with the issue of winning the hearts of the commonwealth.
