King Charles arrives in Australia with conflicting emotions about the monarchy


King Charles III of Britain, who remains the head of state in 14 countries outside of Britain, including Australia, has expressed “deep love and affection” for the country during his visit. However, there is growing debate in Australia and other countries about cutting ties with the British monarchy and becoming republics.

Despite this, Charles is visiting Australia for the first time as king, making his first major foreign trip since his cancer diagnosis. The visit comes at a time when the question of becoming a republic is being revived, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese expressing openness to holding another referendum on the subject in the future.

The reception of Charles’ visit in Australia has been mixed, with some state premiers unable to attend events due to other commitments. The Australian Monarchist League is distributing Australian flags for the visit, while the Australian Republic Movement has launched a campaign branding the trip as a farewell tour for the British monarch.

While Charles and his wife Queen Camilla have deep affection for Australia, they may face mixed reception during their visit. The visit also highlights the importance of the Commonwealth to Charles and his reign. If Australia were to become a republic, it would follow in the footsteps of Barbados, which became a republic in 2021. The royal visit also includes a stop in Samoa, where Charles aims to address the threat of climate change to Pacific island states.
