British Monarch's Titles: 1867-2023

Following the enactment of the British North America Act, 1867, uniting the provinces of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, into a dominion, the British monarchs acquired the status of sovereign and subsequently, Head of State, in a number of new realms, which gradually evolved into independent states (realms) starting from the passing of the Statute of Westminster (12 Dec 1931).
