Queen of Malta

Elizabeth II was the only queen of the State of Malta, which existed from 1964 to 1974. The State of Malta was an independent sovereign state and a constitutional monarchy, which shared a monarch with other Commonwealth realms, including the United Kingdom. Elizabeth's constitutional roles in Malta were mostly delegated to a governor-general.

In 1974, the Republic of Malta was founded, abolishing the monarchy. Although Malta remained in the Commonwealth of Nations, the president of Malta replaced the queen as head of state.
