King Charles arrives in Australia with conflicting emotions regarding the monarchy.


King Charles III has expressed his love for Australia during his visit, the first by a reigning British monarch in 13 years. However, there is growing debate in Australia and other countries about whether they should become republics and sever ties with the British monarchy. The trip comes amidst discussions around a possible second referendum on transitioning to a republic, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese expressing openness to the idea, although his government has stated that it is not a priority at the moment.

During his visit, King Charles and Queen Camilla are meeting with various officials, but the absence of several state premiers has raised eyebrows and been criticized by some as a snub. Despite the mixed opinions on the monarchy, a YouGov poll showed that support for the constitutional monarchy remains strong. However, there are still calls from groups like the Australian Republic Movement for Australia to become a republic.

Australia’s decision to feature an Indigenous design on its currency instead of an image of Charles and the divisive reactions to the tribute at the Sydney Opera House highlight the ongoing discussions around Australia’s relationship with the British monarchy. The King’s visit also includes attending the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa, where he is expected to address climate change, among other issues.
