Nearly 400 years after the country became a British colony, Barbados has become the world’s newest republic.
The Caribbean island nation removed Queen Elizabeth II as the head of the state in a ceremony attended by Prince Charles. Barbados, however, will continue to be one of the 54 Commonwealth nations.
