King Charles III and Queen Camilla are set to visit Australia, marking Charles's first trip as the reigning monarch and his most significant since his cancer diagnosis. Despite the historical nature of the visit, Charles has stated he will not oppose Australia should it decide to become a republic, emphasizing his role as a constitutional monarch who acts on ministerial advice. This stance was reiterated in communications with the Australian Republic Movement, reflecting Charles's 'deep love and affection' for Australia. The ARM has advocated for an Australian head of state, noting the last referendum on the monarchy in 1999 resulted in 54.9% voting to retain it. While Prime Minister Anthony Albanese supports the idea of an Australian head of state, he has postponed any referendum plans. The King's visit is anticipated to be met with a mix of indifference and protest, yet underscores the enduring ties between the UK and Australia.
