In 2014 the plan was to keep Betty as head of state, it's just the act of Union we want independence from, isn't it? (I couldn't care less about the royals either way tbh.)

I don't recall the EU ever stating that you could automatically join the EU if you'd got independence first time around, but maybe it just wasn't publicised as much down here
