This combination of file pictures created on October 21, 2021 shows Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II attending the ceremonial opening of the sixth Senedd, in Cardiff, Wales, on October 14, 2021; and Dame Sandra Mason, governor general of Barbados, holds her Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George medal presented at an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace in London on March 23, 2018.

Sandra Mason, the current governor-general, is set to be sworn in as president on November 30, the country’s 55th anniversary of independence from Britain. In September 2020, Mason announced the break with Britain, saying “the time has come to fully leave our colonial past behind.” When asked about the plans last year, a Buckingham Palace spokesman said it was “a matter for the government and people of Barbados.”
