The Barbados Independence Act 1966 (c. 37) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that granted independence to Barbados with effect from 30 November 1966. The Act also provided for the granting of a new constitution to take effect upon independence, which was done by the Barbados Independence Order 1966.
Barbados then remained a constitutional monarchy under the Barbadian monarch until announcing a conscientious republic status following a referendum on 30 November 2021.[6]
