Best Answer

England/Britain ruled Jamaica directly from 1655 until 1962. After that time, Jamaica became independent and established its own bicameral parliament but continues as a Commonwealth Realm, meaning that officially Queen Elizabeth II is head of state. It is an independent state within the Commonwealth of realms under the British crown.
