The heir to the British throne, Prince Charles, is due to open the Commonwealth Heads of Government conference in the Rwandan capital, Kigali, later on Friday.
He's expected to say that it is up to Commonwealth members which have Queen Elizabeth as head of state to decide whether they will become republics in the future.
The BBC's royal correspondent says that while such sentiments have been expressed before the timing of the speech is significant.
