The British monarch is not the head of state of St Kitts & Nevis. Their own king is their head of state so they're already free of the British monarchy & their past colonial status. Their PM is just making things up.
It was this quote that got me somewhat confused. The statement ‘their own King’ read to me that Durham had something like the King of Tonga in mind, that is, a native-born head, not King Charles, who happens to be the British monarch as well.
St Kitts can hardly be ‘free of the British monarchy’ if King Charles is their Head of State, especially as 99% of his duties are assumed by the Governor General there. He doesn’t live in St Kitts any more than the King of Australia lives in my country, Australia. He resides and spends the vast majority of his time in the British Isles.
