King Charles III says Australian republic decision is for people to decide

ai generated text

There are reports that King Charles III is adopting a non-confrontational approach towards republican campaigners in Australia. In response to concerns from the Australian public, the king's assistant private secretary emphasized Charles' deep affection and love for Australia, indicating a commitment to the relationship between the monarchy and the country.

    1. Australia should have an Australian as our head of state.
    1. Like his mother before him, it has always been the case that His Majesty The King feels that it is a matter for the Australian people.
    1. His Majesty, as a constitutional monarch, acts on the ­advice of his ministers and whether Australia becomes a republic is, therefore, a matter for the Australian public to decide.
    1. I'm also here to say to Australians this isn't an institution that deserves respect or deference, and that they shouldn't believe for a moment that the UK is a nation of royalists. I'm hoping the visit will help influence the debate in both countries and highlight the irrelevance of the monarchy.
    1. I'm sure that the medical team has been consulted and will look after the King and make sure that he doesn't overwork, as we know he has a propensity to do. I'm sure he wouldn't be undertaking the trip unless he was fit enough to do it.
