No separate monarchy, yes.
Have to abide by the British constitution, no. In fact, very much have own separate constitutions.
But only the former matters for the purposes of this question.

Each of them has its own constitution. Australia and Canada for example are federal states, whereas the UK is unitary. Canada also has a constitutionally entrenched Charter of Rights and Freedoms , which the UK obviously lacks.

There are, however, other constitutional monarchies outside Europe whose monarch is not QEII, for example Japan and Malaysia.

Isn't King Mohammed of Morocco a constitutional monarch? I know he has some power, for example, electing the prime minister, but he is not absolute monarch like Sultan Hassanal of Brunei.


Moreover, I read somewhere that Thailand also allows female succession, but in case there is no male heir. So they practice male preference.


Isn't Bhutan a constitutional monarchy too? King Jigme Khesar became King under a new constitution, which I believe made the country more open to the world (and the King lost some power too with that constituition). Sorry if I'm writing this wrong, I never read deeply about the new constitution of Bhutan (was it in 2008?).

Morocco is a constitutional monarchy, but the King has more power than other monarchs in constitutional monarchies.
Bhutan and Thailand are also constitutional monarchies.

I worded that wrong, I sure know those countries have their own constitutions, I only meant that when it comes to the actual monarchical matters.

I think the preparation of Estelle is very good. From a very young age, she has been out and about doing age appropriate events, now that she gets older, the events get more serious. And she is super relaxed, very much used to the public eye.
She's not the CP as yet but will be on top of the list of the best prepared when she gets there.
