Canada

Australia

New Zealand

Jamaica

Barbados

The Bahamas

Grenada

Papua New Guinea

The Solomon Islands

Tuvalu

Saint Lucia

The British Royal family were most powerful at around 1919, at the Extent of the British Empire, which owned over a quarter of the Earth's land surface, making it a pre-eminent world power. At the time of the second world war, due to the damage and costs to recover Britain, the Empire lost influence and money. What's left of the British Empire are the 'Commonwealth Realms' (listed above)'. The United Kingdom is a powerful and strong country anyway, but as Head of State, it makes the Queen even more powerful. As a Queen, it by far makes more of an 'Intimidating Figure'.
