I believe this "jewel in the crown" is a refrence to India under the British rule.  India was Britain's colony during the Victorian Era and it provided much wealth and resources to the British hence the jewel.  It was in the crown because it was considered part of the British Royal Empire or the crown.

Republic means that there is a President instead of a Monarch.  The Commonwealth is a league of nations that were part of the British Empire.  The heads of these nations meet every two years in a member country.  Being part of the Commonwealth does not imply that the Queen of Great Britain should be the head of the member country but every country should accept that the Queen of Great Britain is the Head of the Commonwealth.
