In 1867 Canada had become the first "Dominion", after the Great War all english-speaking Countrys inside the British Empire had become selfgoverning "Dominions" which were equal in Status to Britain and connexed through the Crown.

After World War 2 the relations inside the British Empire changed and India became and independant Member of the Commonwealth. This caused that the Commonwealth was now no longer a real political power, through the connection with the Crown and this way the "Empire" was disolved. As Britain joined the European Community also the last influence of the remaining organisation "Commonwealth of Nations" was, nuffly said, made rubbish.

Here is the Theory:

India and all other non-english-colonies were expulsed from the Commonwealth after gathering independence and the politicians had concentrated on the english-speaking Dominions, which were bound together by the Crown, only. The attempt was made to create a Constitution for the CON, beeing similar to the Austro-Hungarian Gouverment*.

* -> The Austro-Hungarian Gouverment was a combination of three conjoined Gouverments: the Austrian Gouverment with its own Constitution and Army, the hungarian Gouverment with its own Constitution and Army and the common imperial Gouverment under Kaiser Franz-Joseph. The Austrian and Hungarian Gouverments were democratic and could work withouth any interfearance of the Kaiser to rule their Lands, the only exeption was that the common Gouverment under the Kaiser made the foreign and defense policy.

So after the Theory, Britain, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa would all have seperated Gouverments and Laws, but all be connexed to the Crown, the new "Commonwealth of Nations"-Gouverment would make the foreign policy and rise the new common Army.

Today it's too late to create a federal State like this, but George VI, Chruchill and the young Elizabeth II did have a chance to do it. Imagine they had don and the Commonwealth would now not be an organisation, but a common State of these "Dominions" replacing the British Empire. Would you like this reformed "British" Empire?
