This week, Theresa May and the royal family will prepare to meet 53 leaders from Commonwealth countries as part of the biennial Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.

Britain will likely take a significant economic hit in the immediate aftermath of Britain’s departure from the EU in March 2019. It therefore needs to shore up investment at home.

While Britain is following a path of political and economic isolationism, encapsulated by Brexit, it is also becoming increasingly reliant on the very nations it once occupied and then shunned.
