The Queen is set to sign a new charter backing equal rights after it received the support of every Commonwealth nation, it has been reported.
The monarch will sign the 16-point charter on Monday at an event to mark Commonwealth Day.
The Mail on Sunday said the document declares: "We are implacably opposed to all forms of discrimination."
Backed by 54 nations, it also covers democracy, rule of law, international security and freedom of expression.
Prime Minister David Cameron has in the past pressed Commonwealth leaders on the issue of gay rights.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: "At a Commonwealth event on Monday, the Queen will sign a charter agreed upon by the 54 members of the Commonwealth.
"The Queen, as in all matters, is apolitical but is signing the document in her capacity as head of the Commonwealth."
Sources close to the royal household said the Queen would not give her personal endorsement to the charter because of her apolitical status.
