Who is the real president in Commonwealth?

summarise

In a speech to lagislators, Jamaican Governor-General Patric Allen proposed a constitutional amendment ”to replace Her Majesty The Queen(Elizabeth Ⅱ, the Queen of United Kingdom) with a Non-Executive President as Head of State” in the Caribbean nation. She is officialy head of state in 15 nations called the Commonwealth including Australia and Canada, New Zealand, Jamaica. There is one irony because Allen and other Jamaican governor-Generals were appointed by the Queen. It suggests that Allen is effectively pushing to push himself out.

opinion
I learned the President system in Jamaica for the first time. Then I felt something is wrong with the system. Why Elizabeth Ⅱ is the president in Commonwealth even if she is non-executive there? In history, Certainly UK was strong and occupied many country but now most of them are independent. I think they can’t become completely independent till she is the president. This may be thought as deep-rooted problem, but I wish their relationship become better and perfectly independent.
