You can break this down into the Dominions and the Colonies, and I can only give a partial answer, thanks to my country of origin. Canada became a Dominion in 1867, but maintained strong links to the Empire throughout the late 1800s and into the 1900s. The Statute of Westminster in 1931 allowed some separation of the powers, allowing Canada, Australia, India and some other colonies to act more independently. Of course, loyalty to the Empire was still strong. 1947 saw the return of self-rule to India, and the beginnings of what we know now as the Commonwealth. The African colonies regained some self control in the 1950s and 60s. The role of the sovereign as Ruler of the Empire gradually morphed into Head of the Commonwealth.
