对此，英国外交部回应称，这将由巴巴多斯自行决定。同时英国外交部强调，巴巴多斯和英国拥有持久的伙伴关系，两国将继续保持合作。

据悉，目前巴巴多斯尚未有举行公投的计划。如果该决策最终得以执行，女王将在2021年11月前卸任巴巴多斯的国家元首职务。

Buckingham Palace has said the issue is a matter for the people。 Britain‘s Foreign Office also said the decision was one for Barbados to take。 

“Barbados and the UK are united in our shared history， culture， language and much more。 We have an enduring partnership and will continue to work with them along with our valued Caribbean partners，” said a Foreign Office spokeswoman。 

On the Royal Family‘s official website， it states that the queen has a “unique relationship” with Barbados， adding： “Her Majesty is The Queen of Barbados， completely separate from her role as Queen of the United Kingdom。”

If the plan goes ahead， the queen will leave her role as head of state for Barbados by November 2021。
