The unified British Crown once presided over an empire ‘on which the sun never sets’. The Crown has multiplied during the past century as its dominions moved towards independence and became their own realms. The legal and political implications of this division have been accompanied by a gradual transformation of each realm’s symbols of monarchy. However, these transformations have been complicated by the fact that the realms share the same physical person, Queen Elizabeth II, as their representative. This chapter focuses on attempts to negotiate this complication by constructing the Crown and monarchy as local institutions. The Canadian Crown, which some call ‘the Crown of Maples’, best demonstrates how monarchy has been positioned as a key element of national identity. Drawing on anthropological fieldwork at a monarchist conference in 2015, I also focus on the specific actors, especially those working in monarchist organisations, who drive this localisation, as well as their diverse motivations and rationales.
