Controversy Surrounds King Charles's Australia Visit

King Charles's upcoming visit to Australia has stirred controversy as several state premiers have cited prior commitments, opting not to attend the welcome event, which has been criticized as a 'snub' by pro-monarchists. The Australian Republic Movement views this as an opportunity to push for Australia to become a republic, advocating for a local head of state. Meanwhile, King Charles has expressed a willingness to reconcile with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, despite their ongoing estrangement, as he continues to publicly include his brother Prince Andrew in royal activities. However, the Sussexes are notably absent from the Royal Family's Christmas gathering invitation list at Sandringham, further suggesting ongoing tensions within the family.
