CTO Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_Australia Development of Australian monarchy Constitutionally, the monarchy of Australia is distinct from that of the fifteen other Commonwealth realms, including that of the United Kingdom. The development of a distinctively Australian monarchy is complex, not being created on a specific date but in incremental stages. AND In Australia, the Queen's official title is: Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth. This style communicates Australia's status as an independent monarchy, highlighting the monarch's role specifically as Queen of Australia, as well as the shared aspect of the Crown throughout the realms, by mentioning Australia separately from the other Commonwealth realms. Typically, the sovereign is styled Queen of Australia, and is addressed as such when in Australia, or performing duties on behalf of Australia abroad.

chelseafan Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Maybe I am wrong here, but how many Aussies or Brits really care if Australia becomes a republic. Lets face it, they are pretty much that way in all but name anyhow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
