Assuming a communist revolution overthrows the monarchy in the late 20's/ early 30's, what happens to the colonial empire?

Also, assuming that much of the military supports the popular revolution, what happens to various bases and colonies?

Do they stay loyal to the monarchy if it runs away to British North America? Do they become independent entities? do they form regional confederations? Which ones are vulnerable to being taken over by foreign interventionists (like the French)? Or do they stick with the government in London no matter what?

I haven't been able to find much on the forum on the subject and was curious what could plausibly happen if such a revolution occurred.

For now, my scenario is three separate competing states claiming to be the successor of the UK, those being Britain (People's Commonwealth), North America (Britannia), and India (British Empire). South Africa and Nigeria go independent as confederations. Pacific and Atlantic island bases go to London government, and maybe some minor colonies get seized by the French.
