Queen Of Malta

This title of Queen of Malta was held by Elizabeth II Of The United Kingdom between 1964 and 1974 , following Malta 's independence from the United Kingdom . On December 13 , 1974 , Malta became a Republic with a President as Head Of State , and the title was abolished. This day became known as Republic Day .

The Royal Standard of the Queen of Malta was the National Flag with the personal emblem of Queen Elizabeth II in the centre, a crowned letter 'E' in gold, surrounded by a garland of gold roses on a blue background.

In Parliament , when the constitution was changed and the Queen, no longer remained Head Of State , the Prime Minister Dom Mintoff stated that "The change to a Republican system is in no way meant as a sign of disrespect to Her Majesty or the Royal Family ... No other country has retained a foreign Monarch as the Head Of State ".
