As I understand it, the Commonwealth of 53 Nations were once under British rule but still have trade policies.......some big some small, many poor countries.

The Brits use the word commonwealth to mean community....here in the US some of our early states are commonwealths...like Virginia.

Yes, but I wondered if she had all of them, or only the Realms, where Elizabeth II is head of state.

(I think I remember Diana having some sort of national symbology incorporated into her dress, too.)
