Although the person of the sovereign is equally shared with fifteen other independent countries within the Commonwealth of Nations , each country's monarchy is separate and legally distinct. As a result, the current monarch is officially titled the Queen of Canada and, in this capacity, she, her consort , and other members of the Canadian Royal Family undertake public and private functions domestically and abroad as representatives of the Canadian state. However, the Queen is the only member of the Royal Family with any constitutional role. The Queen lives predominantly in the United Kingdom and, while several powers are the sovereign's alone, most of the royal governmental and ceremonial duties in Canada are carried out by the Queen's representative, the governor general .Her Majesty was the first of Canada's sovereigns to be proclaimed separately Queen of Canada. In 1953, a Canadian law, the Royal Style and Titles Act , formally conferred upon Elizabeth II the title of "Queen of Canada".the Crown , Her Majesty unites Canadians gives a collective sense of belonging to our country and anchors our sense of national identity and pride.New Canadians swear allegiance to The Queen, so do Members of Parliament and the Legislatures, military and police officers.
