The Monarchist League is the name of a number of groups in Commonwealth Realms that are dedicated to the preservation not only of their country's existing constitutional monarchy system of government, but that of the principle of monarchy worldwide. Stemming from the International Monarchist League in Britain, whose Chancellor is Count Nikolai Tolstoy, it rapidly expanded under the successive Secretaryship of Gregory Lauder-Frost (also its Publications Editor, 1987-1992 incl.), and Don Foreman, and the Treasurership of Henry von Blumenthal. Don Foreman established its UK branch network. A Commonwealth Realm is any one of the 16 sovereign states that recognize Queen Elizabeth II as their Queen and head of state. ...

Commonwealth Monarchist Leagues are also often staunch advocates of the preservation of their country's historic customs, traditions, and symbols in government- often those which are specifically linked to the nation's British past. For example, the Australian Monarchist League has been a vocal opponent of the movement to remove the Union Jack from the Flag of Australia. Its Chairman, Philip Benwell, also advocates the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union and the restoration of close political and economic links between Commonwealth realms. The Monarchist League of New Zealand and the Monarchist League of Canada have chosen to distance themselves from such debates, preferring to concentrate on a core task of strengthening the monarchy in New Zealand and Canada respectively.
