In a world exclusive, a senior Jamaican government minister has told Sky News that the coronation has accelerated the country's plans to become a republic - as soon as next year.

Sky News can reveal that an "urgent" referendum could be held "as early as 2024", which means Jamaica could become independent of the British monarchy and have its own president by next year, according to Marlene Malahoo Forte, Jamaica's minister for legal and constitutional affairs.
