Elizabeth II was the only monarch of the State of Malta, which existed from 1964 to 1974. The State of Malta was an independent sovereign state and a constitutional monarchy, which shared a monarch with other Commonwealth realms, including the United Kingdom. Her constitutional duties in Malta were mostly delegated to a Governor-General.

Following an amendment to the Constitution in 1974, the monarchy was abolished, with the country becoming the Republic of Malta, and the Queen being replaced as head of state by a President, although Malta remained in the Commonwealth of Nations.
