Fiji became a sovereign state and adopted an independent monarch in the Commonwealth of Nations on 10 October 1970, with Queen Elizabeth II as Fiji's monarch.

She held the title of Queen of Fiji until 1987, when the monarchy was deposed following two military coups, led by Lieutenant Colonel Sitiveni Rabuka.

In 1987, following the monarchy's overthrow, the position of governor-general was abolished.

The Fijian monarch was replaced with a president as head of state.
